The quarter zips are dismayed that the secret is out. This has been happening since MSA days. Moreso in the MIAA days since the mid 90s.
MCD has been buying athletes for years. Gilman was doing it to ridiculkous lengths in football under the former coach that is doing it at St Francis.
On the lax sde, performance wise, Spalding was really the most consistent team, all season. They just didn't get it done in the playoffs. But hats off to them on a fine year. Will be interesting to see if they sustain their commitment to lax.
They will not sustain it. What we just witnessed was a couple of Type A rich guys occupying a weak A conference program in a campaign to set up their own boys and a few of their friends. It was a takeover of the sort that could never happen at any other A conference school and we just saw its peak.
The place gives off public school vibes. There is no tradition. There is no community. There is no continuity. Entire seasons passed and the current coach won zero games in the A conference. This past season he was a puppet brought to life by the whims of Lids... and it almost worked.
Once these guys move on to their next campaigns the program they borrowed and then left behind will return to its familiar position in the standings alongside MSJ and JC. Yes, the offense was fun to watch and they put a scare into some of the bluebloods but #OccupyNewCut is over.
