2/11 D-Fly & Dixie: Turtlenecks

D-Fly and Dixie get you set for Week 1 of the 2022 college lacrosse season. In addition to previewing the biggest games of the weekend, including our first Top 10 matchup of the spring, Mark spends some time with new Syracuse men’s lacrosse coach, Gary Gait. After lamenting about old-school turtlenecks and long johns as cold gear options versus today’s hi-tech performance apparel, Mark breaks into a rant about some high-maintenance lacrosse fans’ unrelenting expectations on early season game production. Can’t we all just enjoy the fact that there are so many February contests available to watch in the cozy confines of our homes? Big slate of 34 games this weekend. FRIDAY Richmond at No. 6 North Carolina (1-0), 5 p.m., ACCN No. 19 Johns Hopkins (1-0) at Towson, 6 p.m., LSN SATURDAY No. 8 Loyola at No. 2 Maryland (1-0), noon, BTN Holy Cross (0-1) at No. 12 Syracuse, 12:30 p.m., ACCN Villanova at Penn State (1-0), 3 p.m. SUNDAY No. 19 Johns Hopkins (1-0) at No. 4 Georgetown, 1 p.m. High Point (0-1) at No. 1 Virginia (1-0), 3 p.m. GIVE & GO Now that we’ve seen a week of winter Olympic sports, it’s time to talk about individual events.
