At about the same time every year, as college football winds up, we start to remember how excited we are for college lacrosse. December is the month where teams announce their finalized schedules, captains, trips, and plans for the season.
So far, some special location games that have caught my eye are Notre Dame vs. Denver in the Pacific Coast Shootout at Orange Coast College (Orange County, CA) and the Moe’s Southwestern Grill Classic that takes place every year down in Jacksonville, FL, which will be featuring UMass, Ohio State, Jacksonville and more.
What I’m trying to say is get those travel arrangements ready, some of the best lacrosse will be played in less traditional areas. Moe’s Classic and the Launch are in Florida, Chicago is making a push for the NCAA Finals, and teams are finding their way to Cali for the regular season.
The game is growing, fast, so get on board and get out and support the expansion. These games mean everything for lacrosse to keep expanding west of the Mississippi!

It’s hard to keep track of time when you’re having fun. We have been having fun stringing non-stop all year long, creating tutorials, reviews, and beautiful works of art for you to drool over.
The whole time we have been stringing up wands, we have been collecting data and researching some of the best pieces of wax, rubber, and performance mesh on the market.
Check out out Mesh Buyer’s Guide for 2013, I hope it helps you with your mesh buying decisions.
