After struggling with substance abuse and getting sober, NLL official Kyle Kennery recently came out as pansexual in a piece that debuted on OutSports.com. He joins IL's Terry Foy to discuss what led him to that decision, what it's been like living in the open and why he so badly wants to share his story with the lacrosse community.

4/25 DIII: Conference Races and Predictions

It's Rivalry Week, huge crowds are showing up and IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello are back to examine two huge games with contrasting identities.



First, to Syracuse, where Foy was in the building for the Orange's 18-17 win over Virginia in the latest entry for Game of the Year (a very crowded ballot). Then, to a Homewood Field that revised its attendance total to become the biggest crowd of the college lacrosse season so far, and where the Blue Jays completed a 7-5 win over their archenemy Terrapins to claim the Crab Trophy. Wrapping up the rivalry talk, they dive into Ohio State's frantic comeback that fell just short and set up a rematch vs., you guessed it — Michigan.



It wasn't all rivalry action, though, and they dive into Mike Gianforcaro's goalie goal, Loyola's win over Navy and what it sets up in the Patriot League, Jacksonville's big ASUN win over Air Force and Yale's win over UAlbany on Friday night that may or may not have laid out the blueprint for Merrimack to beat the Great Danes in Sunday's showcase game, which Ossello attended (after this podcast was recorded).  

4/22 The Tailgate: That One Time… In the Carrier Dome…

It’s Rivalry Week in the college lacrosse season as teams jockey for position in their respective conference tournaments. Expect big crowds, intense action and maximum effort. Are you ready?

In the interview with Degnon, they talk about his unusual recruitment and journey to being a two-time team captain, living up to the standards at Homewood, the 2024 Blue Jays, playing in the sport’s best rivalry, and much, much more.

From there, they bring on former Brown star Larken Kemp to discuss the Bears' win over Princeton.
