Texas Teams

[franks2089]

Does anyone respect teams from texas other than people from texas

[shtbrkd00]

this thread is just asking for trouble

[Jjaylax09]

franks: sorry to go off o your question, but why did yall move to D1, or is that just a rumor

[franks2089]

no idea why we moved up just started going to anderson

[Jjaylax09]

what grade are you in?

[franks2089]

im in 9th grade

[laxkow4]

i hope anderson can do better than every other year they've had a team

[ATXMacLax]

They moved up, their coach pushed for it to try to improve the caliber of the program. We had to make the move last year and it definately elevated everyone's game.

[Hutch]

I'm impressed at the rate lacrosse is growing in Texas. Wish it was like that here in Oklahoma. I think in 10 years, Texas teams will be able to compete with any east coast teams, and this is why: Texas produces good athletes that are usually big and faster than the rest. Look at how they dominate in football. When bigger and faster athletes start getting skills, how can they not be better? The only state that produces better athletes is Oklahoma.

and now a word from the east coast..........

[FPlaxer]

i respect anyteam from anywhere even if there from middle of nowhere. You never no how good they are 'til you play 'em

[AHSkeeper9]

sorry to go off o your question, but why did yall move to D1, or is that just a rumor

well our coach did push for us to be moved up, and most other teams voted us to move up because we have a very strong youth program that feeds into anderson. they allso moved up st andrews

[senor_k]

I respect no team. Anywhere. I could beat them all single-handedly, without my right leg, blindfolded, and on PCP. Also, if you change your state's name from "Texas" to "Saxet", it would spell "Texas" backwards.

[FPlaxer]

i like how theres only 3 people not from texas when it was asking for people out of state!

[AHSkeeper9]

well actually theres like 5 and we were pretty much talking about something else that doesn't have to do with the original post

[KOLax25]

hutch regarding to your reply that is very true, soon texas might have some of our colleges compete to be in top 20 colleges in the lacrosse ranking or get close to that but you are right everything that comes out of texas is good

[dirty south Lax]

word
Texas is BIG.

[chasewheeler]

Hicks...... And now a word from more hicks.....

[shtbrkd00]

houston texas probably has more people than marin county and is more industrialized and commercialized than your entire county

but i dont know.. i guess that's what they teach us in "hick" schools.. you might know better coming from such an awsome place that probably no one outside of california has ever heard of

[KOLax25]

^^ and i can almost guarantee you that any of us "hick" south boys can take your Marin Catholic @$$ down

[dirty south Lax]

yeah, you don't know me, I'm from the streets...

[shtbrkd00]

you guys arent helping my argument

[V-cut]

KO's youjust proved the guys point....


Man, my horse can get to 60 faster than your toyota pruis you northen scumbag... and it's even better for the environment. cheaper too.

[franks2089]

Hicks...... And now a word from more hicks.....
marin county total population-249,915
houston-4.2 mill
Austin- 880 thousand
San Antonio-1.2 mill

yea i think we see who the real hick is

[jackal3688]

San Antonio has more than 1.2 million people nowadays. I think its in and around 2 million now. Its the second biggest city in Texas now, just passing dallas a few months ago. I respect Texas lacrosse, partially because I used to go to Saint Marys hall and have seen lacrosse both in Texas and in New Jersey. Anyone play them?

[franks2089]

Its the second biggest city in Texas now, just passing dallas a few months ago.
actually dallas is bigger by about a million people

[jackal3688]

Not just dallas. Dallas/Forth Worth has around 2 million people or so, but not dallas itself. Maybe the area of Dallas/Ft. Worth though.

[Jugthug42]

I played the St Mary's Hall JV team in the tournament last year. =D

I was wowed by the campus, it was very nice.

See, my team sucks, and we just moved up to D2, so we're going to suck even more. We played St Andrews last year and lost like 18 to 3, they were good. They'll do fine in D1. Ah hell, what am I talking about...My team will go without a win the entire season. *sigh, we need more people.

[AHSkeeper9]

yeah anderson plays them this year. not too excited about it, but what can u do? i have been to their campus though and seen some of there guys play and from what i saw and what i already knew from last season, they are really good.

[jackal3688]

Yea, Saint Mary's Hall is really good. They raise them to play at a very young age. Respect them.

[mattb87]

Theres no competition left in central DII now that anderson and st. andrews are gone, st. stephens is going to win it big this year. we're still going to play anderson and st. andrews though, good luck anderson kids

[FoDotSix]

Are you for real? How about the Central D2 Champs last year? Forget about those guys that destroyed ALL of the competition? Yeah, St. Anthony's lost alot of talent, but they still have more than enough to dispatch any competition that St. Stephens can put forth. Cedar Park and Keystone are probably the biggest threats to the Jackets this year, and even they can hardly be taken seriously. St. Andrews may have been good competition for this year's St. Anthony's squad, but now that they're gone there's no one to keep the Jackets from another State Championship appearance. I'm looking forward to seeing another 17-3 win for the Jackets over St. Stephens. BTW, I wasn't even allowed to play even HALF of the game against you guys last season. Our JV squad was in for most of the game while most of our starters were on the sidelines(I remember taking off my gear and putting on my warmups before halftime). Have fun playing the Jackets again. Fear them.

[FoDotSix]

actually dallas is bigger by about a million people

San Antonio is bigger. Happened a few years ago.

[DRed88]

Being a coach in around the central area my D2 pick is St. Anthony's i got to see alot of their players at the air force camp this past month and they had some real impressive players. Not just the coveted covey, but their goalie is the real deal, he had great form, quick hands, and can see the ball. They also had a solid long pole and quick midis. Against central D2 competition their going to stomp em. I am not biased this is just what i have seen.

[greenturtle]

bottom line is new york and maryland own all

[franks2089]

San Antonio is bigger. Happened a few years ago.
If illegal imigrants didnt count towards population Dallas would be a lot bigger than San Antonio.

[Jjaylax09]

If illegal imigrants didnt count towards population Dallas would be a lot bigger than San Antonio.

although i have to admit that is horrible (and yet funny at the same time) the census requires that you be a US citizen... im not really sure why i am argueing over the population of my city though

[laxbabe2121]

i completely respect texas teams and their plyrs. when i used to live down there in Plano, TX i realized that as a team, they weren't very strong because lacrosse wasn't a popular sport. Individually though, those kids could pull their weight. Since it was such a small sport, and not a lot of guys played, everyone always enjoyed watching their games and stuff. Here in NoVa, no one ever goes to your little side games, and select team league games, because since everyone plays here, its not something special to watch. A lot of the players down in TX are much better than the ones here from NoVa. When i lived there, there was so much pride within my team, and the reason we played was not to win, but to play the sport we loved so much.

[FoDotSix]

If illegal imigrants didnt count towards population Dallas would be a lot bigger than San Antonio.

How can illegal immigrants count towards the population? If they're illegal that means that the US Census doesn't count them. Genius. Pure genius.

[laxkid]

FODOT it also must be nice to have all of san antonio be able to be on your team. Not to talk crap or anything but i'd like to see an all of austin vs. all of san antonio. I think everyone would side for austin. Having the benefit of having an athletic pool the size of San Antonio minus private schools must be nice. Although guess they broke it down atleast a little this year. Good luck on the season.

im not going to argue this... but i will say that 1. there are quit (sp) a few good players in BOTH cities 2. if it werent for this team i would never have had the chance to play lacrosse 3. we only have a few kids from each of the different schools and are lucky to get 18 kids to show up to practice, so that "athletic pool" is looking kinda murky.... and hey, if you really want, i'll let you shoot on me any time, and im liking my chances


by the way, who do you play for laxkid

It'd be a fun thing to watch, but unfortunately I'm going to have to put my money on San Antonio if it ever happened. Austin would be an all-star team, but St. Anthony's and St. Mary's Hall could actually function as a team together. Last season we practiced with SMH some and there's a mutual respect between our teams. We don't need to talk crap about "all of Austin" to make ourselves feel good. Putting down a team because they beat you doesn't prove that you're a bigger person.

Also, why do all Texas lacrosse players get caught up in the politics of lacrosse? Why can't people just play the game? Everyone always hates on St. Anthony's, but frankly, WE DID IT, NOBODY ELSE WOULD. Our public schools have been very reluctant to adopt lacrosse teams, unlike Austin. There are no good feeder schools to programs except for St. Mary's Hall, unlike Austin. The conference isn't based in San Antonio, unlike Austin. In fact, there's 9 teams in Austin D2, and FOUR(if you count the new team Reagan), in San Antonio. What's the big deal? Why do you have to have beef with us?

Let us play lacrosse, get better, go play instead of talking about us. I don't even play for St. Anthony's anymore, but you just don't seem to know anything of what you're talking about. Maybe I'll see you at an Austin summer league game, we can have our own San Antonio vs. Austin game one on one then. I'll put my money on me. :love:

P.S. It's FoDotSix for a reason, FoDot wouldn't be a Rover.

[roughrider]

marin county total population-249,915

yea i think we see who the real hick is

Jesus! there are over 6 millions hicks there alone.

[tys]

marin county... where the hell...? i've never heard of that in my whole entire life! :WTF:

[laxstar003]

i can't say i've ever lost to a team from texas...

[shtbrkd00]

most texans can say the same thing about virginia :)

[lilaxgurl23]

Well, I respect any team, just for the fact that they are a team. As for texas, you may have big athletes, but remember, you can throw the ball and get it to the other side of the field, faster than you can ever run it. So while yes, you would be physical, you also need to have stick skills, mental skills, knoledge of the game and what not. (but on a side note, isn't texas the fattest state?). North easterners, especially in new york and md, kids grow up playing lacrosse, they don't start in high school. Yes, maybe one day you will get better, but being better than some east coast states, won't happen for a long time, just for the fact that they are more developed than you. This doesn't make you bad, just underdeveloped. I see texas just like some other southern and other areas where lacrosse is not big, on any certain day, one of your teams may beat a north eastern state, but overall, the north east would crush texas, due to once again,the fact that you have not played lacrosse for near as long as say New york or Maryland.

[H-townlaxer]

texas will straight up dominate phisically, but as far as skick skill goes its east coast

[roughrider]

. (but on a side note, isn't texas the fattest state?). 6th fattest state but whos counting....Houston is also the fattest city in the US, (mad props to Seattle for being the fittest city). While we are on Houston, it has now replaced LA as being the smoggiest city in the United States. Texas is a close second in the race for most inmates on death row. 455. Out of those 29 are juvenile offenders. Oh, and you produced George Bush. Congratulations on the great state.

[DmanSUlax]

I went to boarding school in CT and learned to play there, and now im playing at southwestern university. totally differnt games

[Askball]

FOUR MORE YEARS ROUGHRIDER

[franks2089]

I went to boarding school in CT and learned to play there, and now im playing at southwestern university. totally differnt games
Why beacause down here we level people a lot more often?

[hillcrestlax24]

u should respect all teams. no matter how bad u will rape them but seriously texas has better hitters than most states. oh and george bush was born in texas but iv disowned his gay as. he should be shot.

[QuickStick7]

lol, o and have you ever thought that texas isnt just a fat state, its also a very big football state. so maybe that would be the reason for such big hitters.

[DRed88]

hey hillcrest W bush was born in New Haven, CT. NOT texas for the last time he is not a native texan he is a Carpetbagging yankee.

Geez

[jamguk03]

6th fattest state but whos counting....Houston is also the fattest city in the US, (mad props to Seattle for being the fittest city).

Out of those 29 are juvenile offenders. Oh, and you produced George Bush. Congratulations on the great state.

Does anyone even give a **** about the state of Washington? What a ****ty state to name after our first president. Of course Texas is going to be one of the fattest states, it's got one of the largest populations. And yeah, Houston is smoggy, how is that the state of Texas' fault? Houston grew because of its industry. The abundant industry, mixed in with natural geographic factors, are responsible for Houston being so smoggy. Does that make the people who live there bad people? What kind of ****ing pathetic human being are you to judge a state based on how polluted it's most populous city is? Oh, and Bush 2 was born in Connecticutt.

[QuickStick7]

ya but he has one hell of a texan accent (sp)

[jackal3688]

So? are you saying that its impossible for people to pick up accents from where they go? And are you saying that they should be considered texas if they pick up a "southern accent"? This is what I dont understand, everyone automatically assumes that someone is Texas if they have a southern accent. Im from Texas, and Im picking up a northeastern/new york accent. Does that make me a New yorker?

[FoDotSix]

What "Southern Accent?" I go to Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and I've got friends here from New York that talk the exact same way I do. The California guys you can tell, and sometimes the Maryland folk as well, but Texas has no influence on an accent. I've even been to Australia and they said I sounded like every other American they'd ever met. Accents don't mean anything in this world, and the Bushes are DEFINATELY from Texas.

[jackal3688]

No, there definitely is a southern accent that exists. Maybe you've never heard it, but some people have it. There is no denying that. But you're right about accents. Who the hell cares about accents, they really dont mean anything.

[unholygoalie10]

dude texas is just overlooked cuz we have a bunch of dumbass's around here who r in love with football were just as good as alot of places just no truly looks at us

[QuickStick7]

Woah Woah Jackal im from texas and i have NO PROBLEM at all with texan accents, i have a pretty bad one. And i am actually a strong republican and have no problem watsoever with bush. and unholy your just talkin out of your *** because not everyone thinks were rednecks

[unholygoalie10]

ya but were gaining stick skills fast cuz were starting to have ppl start in the 5th grade and stuff so soon well be pritty good

[jackal3688]

Quickstick-

I'm not argueing against you, im arguing with you. I used to live in Texas too and I said that I hate it when people stereotype the southern accent and make it the Texan accent, and then call us hicks. If you read earlier in the post, I clearly supported the Texas teams.

[jamguk03]

Hey don't badmouth football, it's still a badass sport. Just not quite as good as lacrosse.

[mistatreymckay]

alot of lacrosse players get tons of crap from football players where i live. its probably one of the biggest rivalries. i can remember back in the sixth grade the entire 8th grade football team would come in and talk mess to all of us. Basically every kid on our team in middleschool hated all football players, so its natural for most of us to bad mouth it.

[jamguk03]

Ah, that sucks. Well a lot of jocks, no matter what the sport, are ********.

[unholygoalie10]

its cool ive beaten up a football player every year sence i started playing

[mistatreymckay]

haha the funny thing is....i remember most of them...good times man

[QuickStick7]

lol sorry about that jackal, and ya i think the reason that lacrosse is going to grow so much in texas is because of the tough football background behind it, lacrosse is like football kindof in a way, just theres more finece in lacrosse.

[FoDotSix]

Unholygoalie, I'd like to see the football players you beat up every year if that's a picture of yourself for your avatar. Cy-Fair must have some really small freshman football players for that to happen...

[unholygoalie10]

dude im a lot stronger then i look and its not ness'sarly that im just fast and with my reflex's its ez to see fists coming and get inside to take somone down

[laxkeepermem]

yeah...a lot of texas teams dont have as much stick skills as the east coast, but that's to be expected..its been bigger over there and you guys have been playing a lot longer than we have down here. we've already started to get up and running, so give us a chance. actually, lax is a bigger sport in our school than football is.
and, although i hate to do this, ive gotta agree w/ roughrider...texas does suck in many ways...but i bet in a couple years a hell of a lot of texas teams will kick all your asses :)
-mary

[laxdfence21]

Why does the unholy golie always start sh*t? grow up dude

[unholygoalie10]

dude im not starting **** i no they r a good team and i no they beat us good and they would have dont the same no madder wat im just saying it might have been a closer game if i was in more but thats somthing will never no

[unholygoalie10]

lol wrong thread na man im not trying to start **** im just remebering good times

[bellairelax]

nah your startin more ****

[mistatreymckay]

[jamguk03]

[unholygoalie10]

4 those of u who think im talking **** and giving ppl a bad name shut up ppl have been telling me that 4 years so idc wtf u have to say cuz it wount change anything

[D Unit 38]

4 those of u who think im talking **** and giving ppl a bad name shut up ppl have been telling me that 4 years so idc wtf u have to say cuz it wount change anything
that doesnt help

[reallax455]

yea but texas is gettin better. however there r a few kids ( 1 in particular) who suck.

[hillcrestlax34]

yeah Seattle has the fittest state but it also has the highest rate of suicide

[ATXMacLax]

Sorry, but I just need to point out that Seattle is not a state, not trying to start a fight it was just bothering me.

[reallax455]

ya but were gaining stick skills fast cuz were starting to have ppl start in the 5th grade and stuff so soon well be pritty good

yea ROB middle school in houston is like a breeding ground for lacrosse. unfortunately most end up at episcopal... :concerned

[hhslax29]

yeah Seattle has the fittest state but it also has the highest rate of suicide
never mind

[QuickStick7]

your surely a smart one Hillcrestlax

[shtbrkd00]

You're, not your

And I believe you are using surely improperly in that sentence

[lax middie TX]

NO! But if your coaches would try to schedule games to the East Coast during your spring break. That might help.

[CCLaX24]

to add to this subject i must say i have been up north to see lacrosse and what a few of you miss is that texas has tallent, it is the fastest growing sport and soon the state as a whole will grow to a point in which it is as large or even larger than other programs around the country. Texas has weak teams and every state has teams like this...plain and simple, not every team can be badass. The bottom line is that it doesnt matter where you come from because that simply doesnt determine your skill level. One of the best midfielders in the state of texas Erik Covey is going to play at the university of denver and this shows that texas doesnt have stand out players that can play at the D1 level... i firmly believe that in a few years you will see alot more texans playing ncaa lacrosse.
