Bowl, brown rice, could I get a little more rice, pinto, fajitas, chicken, mild, hot, cheese, guac. Yes i know its a dollar 80 esstra. Chips and a water cup
WOAH SERIOUS THREAD TIME
So as you probably know by now: Myself and some former college teammates of mine, plus Brent Adams (great guy) have been taking the entrepreneur route the last few years. A quick reflection thread to bless your timeline
Power ranking of social media times to be alive
1) First time putting a girl in your top friends on MySpace
2) Snapchat when you could see the top 3 friends and catch your buddy talking to his ex
3) 2008 facebook
4) 2013 Vine
5) the 2 weeks of Yik Yak in 2015
DNF) parents on FB
Just letting everyone know- made the difficult decision to retire last week. Been the honor of a lifetime to call myself a pro lacrosse player and member of the Woods. I’ll make jokes about it later but wanted to let everyone know. Love you all

Breaking: In the merger Atlas LC somehow acquire Lyle Thompson, Randy Staats, Dylan Molloy, Mikie Schlosser, Steele Stanwick, and Nick Mariano. Still miss playoffs by 3 games
The game was made to prevent nations from literally going to war with one another. I think a quick scrap that everyone moved on from immediately isn’t poor sportsmanship and certainly isn’t insulting to the creators game. Soft take
@SportsCenter
check out my cousin Enzo. Anyone can score a goal but this is a next level point blank piss missile mind trickery. Think this goalie is stopping the next shot? No chance

Never forget the little guys, always stay humble. Back in the day, I took a (football at ND) picture with a young fan who had never heard of Notre Dame or lacrosse before. I took the time to tell him about it, thinking nothing but being a great guy. That kids name? Pat Kavanagh

Let me assure you of one thing- the tryouts to get on the Olympic Lacrosse Team will be the best lacrosse played in history. Scrapping for a spot to get on Tinder in Olympic Village is the most coveted reward ever in our sport. Will be better than the actual gold medal game
If you miss a shot immediately touch the pocket, look at the shooting strings, and give a hard palms up to the stick doctor on your team. Bonus points if you sail a low to high into the parking lot
With 100% sincerity I really appreciate this
@Khartzell81
. Im firmly leaving the past in the past and only focusing on what we can do for the
@OWLSLAX
program, and lacrosse community moving forward.
Additionally this bet/donation is a bit overdue, but wanted to make things right. I’m going to take a break from Twitter and focus on the playoffs ahead. I’ll come back with better understanding and interactions across my social for the future (2/2).

One thing I never do is criticize college kids. But 32 cracking a dude from behind, baseball swinging, and then flopping like he got hit by a sniper is the softest shit I’ve ever seen in my life. Hardo to medic in .1 seconds. But again, I’ll never criticize college players

Boy breakups suck but let me tell you about the worst part- I just had to change the background picture on my phone because it was Moose and I don’t get to be his dad anymore. I’ll be taking a break from twitter for a while. See you when I see you
With me clearing the COVID test and having made the roster I wonder when hardo of the century

will pay up. See you in a couple days 😘

Imagine shooting to score. Completely selfish and could never be me. Shoot at the goalies chest so
@BDAdams_8
can get the goal/clout
#RoomateOfTheCentury
Never was top 5. It’s iconic, it’s not tough. Tough is playing at Drexel getting dressed in a high school classroom before going out and having them act like it’s the super bowl.
Things that make you a loser
1) Being picky when someone offers you a free beer
2) being actually political on social media
3) posting shirtless workout videos
4) losing things
5) reposting every birthday Instagram story that tags you. Sick humble brag
A funny story- when I was coaching at Air Force I was thoroughly balding. I overheard one of the players make a joke about how I got dishonorably discharged from the “Hair Force” and to this day it’s the funniest hair related chirp I’ve ever heard. Happy Positive Friday!
“Nobody on our team gets respect. Nobody in the league expected us to get this far”
-people in a league where every single player is very respected and every team makes the playoffs
Even though I’m old and bald as shit losing never gets easier. God damn that’s a tough pill to swallow. You can never say that we didn’t leave it all on the field, and finding solace in that makes it manageable. Roll damn Woods
Power ranking of reasons to panic in the last 10 years
1) A text from mom: “call me”
2) Seeing a beloved athlete/actor trending on twitter and not knowing why
3) At the disco

5) COVID 19

I’m a very unique successful lacrosse player from just outside Baltimore who went to an MIAA school and is a diehard ravens fan I’m not like other guys in my area
Prince George reportedly warned classmates who were on his bad side that his father Prince William will one day be King, according to royal author.

My hometown dive bar that we all go to the night before thanksgiving is so much better than yours bro you don’t even know. You wouldn’t last a SECOND at this spot! My town is built different and Im never leaving. Remember state? Unreal. Where’s your little sister? Haha relax bro!
I’d love to see a video game for lacrosse and then watch players shit their britches over the rankings. We can barely handle light disagreements, imagine how petty lacrosse twitter would be for that
I am calling for heads. This tournament is officially a joke. Fire everyone. Public shaming at town square at noon. Bring your pitchforks, torches, and whatever else you can find. What a joke
For the record,
@BRiorden10
suplexed me to the moon BEFORE I threw the punch. Gotta get ahead of the story. Props to his back for not giving out on him picking my fatass up. What a league
In case anyone needs to hear this today…on September 1st, I didn’t get a single email or call all morning and thought about quitting. I ended up getting 3 ACC offers around 1pm but I am still driven by that morning
And another shoutout to
@PaulRabil
and
@MichaelRabil
. Thank you for the work you’ve done launching a hell of a company. Was lucky to be part of it. Sorry about literally everything I’ve said to you on the field, I didn’t mean most of it, and I’ll be watching this summer
Wondering who to root for? Here is a quick guide:
Redwoods- you like drinking beer, talkin some shit, having fun, and winning
Waterdogs- you like drinking beer, talkin some shit, having fun, and losing
Cannons- you paid for followers on Instagram and ruin events with selfies
Barstool tweeted a physical lacrosse play: choose your fighter
A) Quote tweet about how lacrosse being on barstool is bad for the sport
B) Comment that the players dad is a lawyer
Youth coaches:
I tried a sliding drill last night. You have someone sprinting down the alley blindfolded and the slide goes and decleats him.
Teaches the defense to take advantage of a blindfolded opponent and the offense toughness.
Let me know what you think if you try it!
Youth Coaches:
I tried a Shooting On the Run “Chase” Drill last night
Setup: Player with ball, Chaser 3-4 yards behind, start anywhere you want to sweep from, add points
Object: Ensure no player stops his or her feet for an on the run shot
It raised compete levels and was fun
Things I taught
@td_ierlan
at camp:
1) How to throw a piss missile 50 yards over the cage. Possession shot hero ball like that isn’t natural, it’s taught
2) How to rely on wings when you go faceoff
Lacrosse twitter: we are a lighthearted community we can take a joke haha we have fun!
Lacrosse twitter when Dr Pepper makes fun of lacrosse in a commercial: I have a gun get on the ground this is a hostage situation
Just landed in Boston. Last time I was here I recorded a real life tackle in a division one football game against Boston College at Fenway after playing 4 years of lacrosse at Notre Dame, but it’s not about me I’m just reminiscing haha. How time flies!
Childhood dog passed away today. If you have a pup, go and pet them and let them sleep in your bed tonight and give them a couple extra treats tomorrow. It’s what Alice would have wanted. First and last pic with this jamoke. I will be sad tonight and for the foreseeable future
Let me assist:
“There is absolutely no place not just in sports, but in civil society, for the cowardice shown at time expired last night. He has been banned from the sport and we are exploring further disciplinary action”
This one’s on the house fellas
Topic: “is running up the score ok”
High school: no. There’s always a team that gets clapped every game. Dont win 31-1
College: kind of. If the backups can still pump the team, green light
Pros: yes, but if you’re taking a 2 Bomb up 10 in the 4th, high and late slide en route

Completely forgot how to be single. Tried to hit on a girl last night (not in a creepy way(great guy alert) (brag)) and it was an absolute trainwreck. We are SO back. Please provide your best advice in the comments and I’ll let you know how it goes
Would be a damn shame if everyone saw this. The days of being absolutely unreal on O are behind me, too cocky and too much clout. I am now a humble d mid. Please don’t watch this
If someone is going to be that much better than me, at least give me a reason to hate him. There’s nothing to hate about Zed Williams and that’s the worst part. Being a great guy and all, what a jerk. Think of the haters!
My final holier than thou statement: social media is a weird place. VERY easy to get personal and say something you don’t know the repercussions of. Lacrosse twitter has been ridiculously hostile lately. Cut the shit and let’s get back to our regularly scheduled programming
