YES - the sad little person who comments about the grown men counting helmets - me, I count BOTC posts about people that count helmets - pretty sad as well


Did i strike a nerve?
Are you the helmet counter?

Let me guess, you probably never played (we know because you tell everyone how you blew out a knee in junior high or lacrosse wasn't big where you grew up) but:
- You are still the guy on the sidelines that cradles an empty stick
- You are always all decked out in team gear
- You continually say how good "we" are as a team
- You feverishly walk the length of the sideline yelling to get the ball to your son (cause let's face it, like you, he is the second coming of Christ).

And since you are so great, and nobody can hold a candle to you in terms of lacrosse IQ, you voluntarily stay away from all the other parents at each tournament. All the while, we laugh at how ridiculous you are and take notice of how your wife won't even stand with you.



great post - I was the second post, calling out the first poster for calling out the helmet counter....I actually thought my reply was funny, But in reality I could give 2 shoots about any of this, I am just bored because my kids are too for travel so I no longer care. Having said that it is funny how you are almost 100% wrong about each assumption you made about me based on my post

- I played lacrosse up to College
- I have never held a stick on the sideline even when coaching
- I do not own any team gear for my kids HS team or any of the 3 colleges my kids have or are playing at. If I did, I would not wear it to the game.
- I do occasionally say how good "we" are as a team but try correct myself as soon as I realize what a tool that makes me look like
- I sit as far away from other parents as possible so I can not hear them during the game.

I do voluntarily stay away from all the other parents at each tournament not because I am superior but because because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual

- my wife sits with her friends
