sports change. princeton has devised a dominant defensive scheme that has worked wonders for their program, and almost every other college and high school in the country now. who's to blame here for low scores? princeton, who has discovered how to shut down run-and-gun teams that rely strictly on speed and athleticism, x's and o's be damned? or opposing teams, who have not adjusted to a new defense and insist on still trying to run it down the other team's throat like in jv high school games? I credit Tierney with being an amazing coach; the true "a$$es" are those coaches who have been unable to adjust to their opponent's playing style.

and no true competitor and athlete would rather lose any game. you obviously have no respect for the game of lacrosse if you think that the only "fun" part is scoring goals. even running and gunning starts with a great goalie and defense, clearing, hard riding, and face-offs. there's more to the game of lacrosse than needless showboating and fancy shots.
