To get you ready for the 2025 college lacrosse season, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back with The Tailgate. They start with an offseason recap, going over rule changes, coaching changes, new teams and the rest of the news. From there, they break down the Preseason Media Poll, look back at their 2024 predictions and pick their Dark Horse, Tewaaraton winner, Final Four teams and champion.

They then welcome former Brown All-American LSM Larken Kemp (who will be writing a column for IL this season) to cover such topics as DeepSeek's effect on the Tech Bro/Jack power heirarchy, how Virginia will be able to rely on early offense and more.
