Thoughts and Insight through the eyes of Doug Shanahan that will take you through the MCLA (University of Illinois) and the MLL (Chicago Machine) seasons and back.
Whats Up All Laxers, Hope all of you are enjoying your spring. It is already summer down here in South Florida with temperatures already reaching the 90's. This past weekend I went to Machine training camp where it was cloudy and in the 50's on Friday, being so spoiled with the weather down in South Florida you forget how early it still is in the Spring especially in Chicago. Training camp was awesome, so many talented players at every position it reminded me of when the league had the original 6 teams before expansion. The Machine have added alot of new faces but players with strong back rounds and experience. Striebel and Rotelli should be really nice additions, and Driscoll on D should make us a solid. 2009 should be a really interesting year for the MLL, if your a FAN and love lax, try to attend atleast one game no matter what city you are in. Everybody wants the league to prosper for future generations but we need to see the MLL through this tough economy. The talent is unbelieveable and the product on game day should be worth the price of admission. Hope we will see many new faces in the stands this year.
Spring football has started which has made my schedule crazy down here, plus I have signed on with Florida Selects to help coach, which is run buy Jeff Goldberg and Lacrossewear. Jeff is the Head Coach of national ranked Saint Andrews program. Spring football consists of roughly 20 practices and 1 game, I know crazy. Being from up north we never had such a commitment until summer, I know now why they call Florida a football state.
