Club Guys. Varsity Content. We used to tweet & blog a lot more, then life caught up to us.

If you play men's league, you know these guys. https://t.co/plXNsJo2xl

Hopefully Richmond can use the ticket sales revenue from tonight’s game to fund a turf replacement

Have not watched a lick of Army lacrosse this year but dumbfounded at how many players look like they’ve never held a lacrosse stick (sarcasm of course)

The clearing game is abysmal

@james_hoganv @DukeMLAX @PennMensLax The ACC strategically used it that way, but the Ivy opponent was pre determined

2016 UVA vs Brown for example. Brown was 6-0 in Ivy play, then also got to blow the doors off of UVA

There may have been a coincidental 5th place when Penn played in it, but this wasn’t intentional

Lost in lacrosse history is the @NLL got rid of this incredible championship trophy

Imagine today’s hardware if they kept adding rings for each champion

Excited to announce the hiring of Randy Mearns as Interim Head Coach!

Mearns comes to Rochester after an illustrious playing career and 26 years coaching at the Division One level.

@iamneilbarrett It’s so bad. I get the old site may have felt outdated but it was so simple. Only downside was endless pop up ads but we power through as lacrosse fans seeking content

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

Not tweeting much recently, so it could’ve been discussed, but does anyone else think the new Inside Lacrosse website is way worse than before?

The 2026 season is off & running, yet no rosters or stats on team pages + the recruit database is far less intuitive & hard to navigate

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

The live box score on desktop is debatably an improvement but everything else just feels like a worse product or they unintentionally over complicated things. Having to click “continue reading” to expand each article is getting really old fast

Hope it gets better & easier to use

Through 7 weeks + ASG, the PLL is averaging ~210k viewers per game (+1.45% YoY through this timeframe)

The ASG highlighted past weeks, averaging ~268k viewers (+80% YoY) and is the PLL’s most-viewed ESPN broadcast ever

Sadly, UTAH/CAR on 7/18 was the least-viewed game since ‘22

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

@FloridaLX Was a busy few weeks so haven’t posted. Will post next following the games in Chicago this weekend.

Wouldn’t get your hopes up for the ASG #’s being strong. It was a beautiful holiday weekend across the east coast.

@upstreamlax ABC is the largest US broadcast TV network + is in about 98% of American homes

ESPN is a pay cable network + is in about 70 million homes

Also, recent PLL on ABC games were lead-ins to big events like Caitlin Clark’s return & CWS. PLL benefits from ppl tuning in early to those

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

While an incredibly small sample size (just two comparable games), the non-ABC linear broadcasts this season are down significantly YoY at -65.38%

This will be something worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses, as only 4 of the 13 remaining linear broadcasts are on ABC

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

Through four weeks, the PLL is averaging ~267k viewers per game. This past weekend added 3 more TV games to the average

The Archers/Outlaws game on ABC averaged ~407k viewers. Most viewed game this season!

Compared to the first four weeks of 2024, viewership is down -3.61% YoY

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

@danarestia FWIW - Peter Guelli is also the COO of the Buffalo Bandits

The Knighthawks are amongst the many Western NY pro teams Terry Pegula owns (Bills, Sabres, Bandits, etc)

For NLL growth & new investment, there’s an argument that Pegula leaving the Knighthawks can be seen as optimal

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

@lance_onIG Don’t have the attendance numbers but weather has not been friendly in the early goings, so that may have impacted turnout

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

The PLL is averaging ~362k viewers per game through three weeks. All TV games have been on ABC

This week’s Atlas/Whips game averaged ~390k viewers. Most viewed game this season

When compared to the three ABC games during the first three weeks of 2024, viewership is down -7.18%

@danarestia @laxreference @iamneilbarrett @Inside_Lacrosse @paulcarcaterra @TerenceFoy @Chris_Jast @dan_aburn_ @ProLacrosseTalk @thecreasedive @james_hoganv Correct, these numbers do not include ESPN+ viewership

[QuickStick @quickstickblog]

@iamneilbarrett @Inside_Lacrosse @paulcarcaterra @TerenceFoy @danarestia @Chris_Jast @dan_aburn_ @laxreference @ProLacrosseTalk @thecreasedive @james_hoganv Viewership is measured by Nielsen
