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.
Hello All Laxers, Greetings from soggy Rhode Island, Bryant University is a beautiful campus and the dorms are ok too. The food has also been surprising good for campus food, kind of feels like I am 12 years old and at camp again. Its been fun being around the players and coaches the past two days, there has been plenty of time for catching up with old friends. I Had a chance to grad dinner with Nicky Polanco and Brian Spallina last night and it didn't take long before the Hofstra stories were flowing across the table. It was great seeing those guys again, its been along time since we have had the chance to sit down and chat. The tryout has been extremely competitive as you could imagine, putting the best 84 players in the country together will have that affect. Today, the rain was pretty intense in the morning session, both games were at a much slower pace and the scores reflected that with either of the four teams breaking more than 10 goals. Hopefully the weather will break here for the evening sessions, the format has changed since prior tryouts in 06' and 02' were we had 3 sessions a day. This time around we have only two but the games are much longer, 38 minute halves, thats alot of lax. Its hard to believe that we have only two sessions left, tonite and tomorrow morning. The 40 man roster will be announced tomorrow. Wish me luck!
