Inside Lacrosse Podcasts

In a special "on the road" edition of The Tailgate, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello return for the 2023 season to discuss an epic weekend of upsets, starting with Johns Hopkins' 13-12 win over Georgetown. The weekend's "first time beating that opponent in years" is highlighted by Air Force's 12-10 win over Denver. They discuss Loyola's impressive 12-7 upset of Maryland, then Nick wonders which was the biggest win: Vermont over BU, UMass over Army or Binghamton over Marist? They end with an examination of the season's most annoying conversation to-date: Joey Spallina's shooting struggles vs. Vermont in Week 0.

D-Fly and Dixie help get you set for Week 1 of the 2023 season on the IL weekend preview podcast. As always, they review big-picture takeaways from last week, touch on mid-week action and preview the biggest games on the weekend slate.
