OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND?

We (CSU lacrosse) have been obliterated here in 2005. After the news articles fade to the black hole of cyberspace there will be no evidence that The Ram existed in 2005. I’m not sure, but I’m thinking this is probably not the "year of the ram", since we are the Rams, and I am an Aries.

370 SHOPPING DAYS – WELCOME TO THE 2006 - HATERS REVENGE TOUR II
(They say the sequel is never as good as the first, but I say shazzbotts)

We will need to come back next season and remind people that Frankenteam does in fact live.

We will be "shopping" for a few good men willing to "do what it takes", "pay the price", and any other cliché’ you care to use to come with us on a Mission of Memory. The core is in place. So is the passion, at least in me.

After getting the okay from our alumni, The Haters Revenge II, 2006 tour will officially begin. There is no need to actually wait for 2006 calendar to flip over in my opinion. I hope it (tour) will have magic and I know it will have mystery. I can guarantee that we will roll out the carnival as much as possible in hopes of making up for games "lost" in 2005.

FUTURE VETERINARIANS, CONSTRUCTION GUYS, FOREST RANGERS, BASKET WEAVERS – COME ON DOWN!

Hey boys, come to CSU! You must be able to budget time. You must have 12 hours of class credit every semester (all semester) and you must carry a 2.2 GPA (Flip’s rule). The Student Athlete cannot be a foreign concept, but rather your primary goal. You will need to adapt to 4 different lacrosse practice times at 3 different locations, and that’s just in one week. You must be able to focus on the lacrosse ball when there are snowflakes the size of, well, a lacrosse ball landing on your facemask, and you must be able to focus on ME when it’s freezing cold outside and my lips randomly flap and flutter when I talk. You must be a supremely good teammate and understand the true meaning of OUR family. If you don’t know how to be a good teammate or you don’t understand family, we will teach you.

We offer the full scope of possibility here at Colorado State lacrosse. In the eyes of some we are cheaters, and to others we stand for championships. It is a fine and misty line we walk here at the U. Playing here is not for the faint of heart.

SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, BUT NOTHING BLUE (ever)

We will have a veteran team in 2006. We have experienced players and we have players that need the year to gain more skill and refinement. Now we just need to fill a few holes. One large, fast attack man would be nice for example. We need a few drops of fresh, new flesh and blood in the family to help us tote this gigantic chip (scab) we will have had to carry on our collective shoulder for most of a year.

NO PROMISES BUT LOTS OF PROMISE

There is still time to get accepted and enroll for Haters (them) Revenge (us) II. Do it today! It could be the time of your life.....
