Boston College Is Doing Something Cool Saturday

((HT: ESPN))

BC is playing Southern Cal Saturday and finding a really cool way to remember those impacted by 9-11 at the game...

The school is giving out 6,000 red bandannas at the game in memory of a former BC lacrosse player who was one of many heroes on that day...

The team is also wearing an Under Armour created red bandanna pattern spread all throughout their uniform display and coaching apparel.

From the school:

The Crowther family will be on hand for the 8 p.m., nationally-televised game, which is deemed Service Day, celebrating many groups and individuals from the BC community who epitomize the Univerisity's mission of "Men and Women for Others."

Here's the story of Welles Crowther so we can all never forget

GTA V Reenactments Do Not Equal Real Life

Because if it did, a college lacrosse player might have had a little more fun...

Police in Baton Rouge arrested Auburn lacrosse player Zachary Burgess this past weekend after they said he tried to steal a car (with someone still inside of it), then told police he did it to play out a video game in real life. Burgess was, the HQ can guess, in town for the LSU-Auburn game...

This is the video game in question...


Burgess was charged him with vehicle theft, kidnapping and nine counts of hit-and-run driving.

Police said Burgess jumped into a car after its owner parked it at a local bar and left it. Burgess then hopped in and drove off with a female passenger still inside. Police said Burgess hit several other cars before the passenger managed to escape. Witnesses, apparently, stopped Burgess during his driving exhibition and kept him at the scene until police showed up.

No one was seriously hurt in the incident. Here's the mugshot (thanks, East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office)

Burgess is now up on nine counts of hit-and-run and one count each of auto theft and simple kidnapping,

LaCrosse Brawl: Canadian Style

((ht: deadspin))

**note**--We know the "C" in LaCrosse shouldn't be capitalized, but it got your attention...didn't it--

Hey, if you are into sports brawls, this one is pretty good. And violent.

Over the past weekend (May 12th), the Inter A LaCrosse match between the Coquitlam Adanacs and the Nanaimo Timbermen turned into an all-out, pier 6, slobberknocker (Jim Ross reference).

And in case you were wondering, apparently, the Inter A league is comprised of 16-18 year olds. Just looking at the video, these are some pretty big 16-18 year olds. And they fight, seriously fight.

To quote Warner Wolf....let's go to the videotape:

OSG High: Your Daily Lacrosse Sucker Punch

((HT: Deadspin/ESPN760/WPTV))

Lacrosse has always been known for its violence...

But normally during play...

Take you to St. Thomas Aquinas and Palm Beach-St. Andrews last night...
Aquinas' Jake Champion decides to take matters into his own hand coming off the field...


The Florida High School Athletic Association suspended Champion for six weeks for "level 2 unsportsmanlike conduct."

St. Andrew's was up 15-5 in the third and after Champion had been ejected for throwing a punch, he hit Jordan Todd as he was leaving...

St. Andrew's won 20-6, so the suspension means virtually nothing...
