Late Christmas

Christmas came late in Grantham this year. a whole two months late. but alas, we have new mittens for the cold weather. Some guys have taken a liking to our new gloves, even so much as to enjoy their favorite cereal in them. 

God is good. 

Better Late Than Never

One of our very own took his talents to the dance floor this past homecoming. Not only did he kill it in the middle of the circle, but also prompted one of the oldest maneuvers in the book: The Oreo. Who doesn't love a little white boy in the middle?

Merry Laxmas

What is Christmas without a tree? Sure, we got in trouble for it, but the scrooges of Mountain View cannot quench the Christmas spirit. It's finals week and nothing quite eases the tension like a quick listen to Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas is You". 

Merry Laxmas from the Penthouse boys and the Men of Messiah Lacrosse

Sloth Sighting

This picture needs no introduction and needs no explanation. I was strolling past Lottie on my way to chapel and saw this baby sloth in his natural habitat. 

enjoy. 

Glory to God. 

Meet The Baby Falcons

It's that time of year again. Campus is stirring with new faces, a new group of guys, and a new coach. After a summer off, it was great to get back together with the crew. Losing 9 Seniors last year was tough for us, but Coach succeeded in bringing in some gems.

Here's the new faces that will be joining us this season.

Matthew “The Tank” Franken

                                                                  

 Although he shakes it like Miley, Matthew Franken is not a butt model. He comes from the great white north some call Michigan. His hobbies include knitting, baking, and playing with and taking his 8-pound guinea pigs for their nightly saunter through the parks of Holland. His favorite color is beige and he enjoys musty smelling cologne. Fun fact about “The Tank” is he has been cast for the 22^nd Season of the hit TV show “The Bachelor”. Matthew looks to study dance performance here at Messiah and is most looking forward to community bathrooms.

Isaac “Ball So Hard” Zorn

Turning down the opportunity to attend the School of Hard Knocks, Isaac Zorn brings his talents and extremely hairy chest to Grantham, Pennsylvania. When Isaac isn’t studying, he can be found instructing Zumba in the second floor of Mountain View or helping the elderly across the dangerous streets of Harrisburg. His passions include reading Victorian-Era literature, writing poetry, and a nice pair of business slacks (non-pleated, naturally). He boasts the record for most kittens saved out of trees in Kansas City, a whopping 58 helpless felines.

Ryan “Larry Bird” Van Bochoven

Coming in at six feet, six inches, Ryan is the tallest of the baby Falcons joining the nest. After dunking on an eleven-foot hoop, his parents decided it was finally time for him to skip the second grade. He was promptly shipped of to Europe to play as starting center for the New Yorker Phantoms Braunschweig, a premier organization of Germany’s finest ballers. Last year, he led his team in blocked shots, rebounds, and free throw percentage in practice. He can be found wearing hats all around campus to conceal his identity as a professional basketball player.

Andrew “Make Peace, Not Love” Tyson

In this photo, you see Mister Andrew Tyson in his rawest of forms. We are blessed with great privilege of having Tyson back after his lengthy stint as a member of the Peace Corp. He heads up a support group, meeting on Friday nights from five to eleven to talk about feelings, the economy, recycling, and the ever-growing, ever-popular teen sensation One Direction. When not in the gym doing crossfit, “Make Peace, Not Love” can be found wading through the Breeches getting in touch with his inner being.

Samuel “Stanky Leg” Stengel

Sam “Stanky Leg” Stengel hails from the hardest, realest, inner-city suburb of St. Louis. His pastimes include captaining the powderpuff team, collecting Air Force Ones and interning for the local waste management plant. Aside from his uncanny resemblance of sophomore Brooks Arnold, “Stanky Leg” is one of a kind. Now enough about him, and more about the Buster to his left. Are those Halloween leggings, or scandalous socks?

Max “Baywatch” Williamson

Step aside David Hasselhoff, there’s a new sheriff in town. Max’s modeling career really took off last week when Cosmopolitan and Seventeen started following him on Instagram. His impeccable use of Insta filters really extenuates his belly button and bosoms. He is majoring in engineering with a minor in performance. His schedule this semester is riddled with acting courses due to his interest in a career with the Disney channel. Look to see “Baywatch” Max on your local newsstands and keep an eye out for Max on the packaging of your next underwear purchase.

Jacob “Weight Training Guru” Artuso

Jacob Artuso is the next Jillian Michaels. He’s quiet and reserved, but once he hits the gym, things get real. He resides in the stomping grounds of mythical beast and recent grad Brian Meenan. He spent the summer whipping Sydney Crosby and the Penguins into shape for the coming season. Although they will be in top physical shape, the “Weight Training Guru” can’t help the fact that they seem to choke in the playoffs every single year. Fun Fact, Mr. Artuso collects Hot Wheels cars and stores them in a lock box under his bed.

Justin “Just Legs” Bradley

Justin Bradley comes to us with fewer words spoken than any other baby Falcon. Legend has it that Justin’s voice is comparable to that of Will Ferrell’s in the movie Step Brothers. Not only is it impossible to look him in the eyes, but he will also bring tears to your eyes with the sheer sound of his voice. Aside from incredible pipes, his physique is impeccable. His legs can be likened to that of a horse. Fun Fact: as an infant, he modeled for Gerber. When asked he favorite flavor, he responded, Mashed Asparagus and Rice.

Amongst these guys are a slew of walk-ons, which will get their own introduction later.

Here's to a new year, with a new coach, a new team, and a new Brossiah Blog Poster.

Glory to God.

Speaking of Homeschooled

This weeks hot seat is a Vermont laxer. Watch him kill it on this interview.

Hot Seat

Quotes to live by taken from the interview:

"I picked up a lacrosse stick in the 7th grade, and never looked back."

"I like to studying. Gotta be a student athlete first."

"It's a little SHALLOW for me to be a lax bro."

"But ya know, gotta take it."

Is it homeschooled?

Welcome. As you know, there are a lot of homeschoolers here on campus. And, they are usually easy to spot. Guess if these people are homeschooled or not.

Did you know......?

We have a famous rock star on the team.

Name this person. (Do do do dodo do do, do do do do DO.... dododododo)

Ladies Man

There you have it folks. Our very own teammate caught in the act. Us laxers are known for our incredible good looks, uncanny ability to talk to females, and people not liking us because we lax. Well here is our goalie promoting two out of three of our stereotypes.

I am not sure if my anonymous source sent this picture to me because of our teammate or because of the guys face who is in the middle of trying to chew on Lotti's pasta noodles.

Con Bro Braden?

We're four days into j-term, the skies are gray, the air is cold, the clouds are providing participation, the mile run date is planned, and it's time for a blog post. You may be thinking "wow it's been so long since a new post went up" well, you're right. And this post, perhaps, might be the first and last post this semester. I aspire to meet the standards of the b003 room two years ago but time shall tell. Check out the professional bro we have here on the team below.

We're Back......

Howdy readers. We're back at school and this is the first post of the 2012-2013 school year. Because of this, I have something very important to inform all of you.

Lax Camp

Our camp ended over a week ago, and i am just collecting my pictures. Sorry if I've missed anything but you'll get the gist.

For starters, this picture describes every meal and nighttime snack.

T Minus 5 Days

Until our Annual MCLAX camp.... Its been a while since I've been on here i almost forgot the password until i remembered that i use standard "laxbro(insert jersey number)" as my password for everything.

Night Before

Thank you Big Z for the highlight vid of the 2011 season. Big game tomorrow #slangembangem

Read all about it!

You heard it right, JJ is in the pros.

And if you don't believe it, here's the proof. Don't be fooled by the picture, that's him.

Congrats to JJ for his hard work. He set all kinds of records while here at messiah such as: Sickest Flow, Most Broken Heads, Best "Joker" Impersonation, Most Interesting Music Selection,  oh and the less important..... Most Faceoff Attempts, Most Faceoff Wins, and Best Faceoff Percentage

Quote to live by: "WE CAN BEAT THESE GUYS!!"

Gal Pal in Training

It has come to my attention that #14 thoroughly enjoys being around the ladies.

Here is him in lottie with 10 girls and just him sitting down at a table.

Our Athletic Trainer Gymnast

This is one of the young ladies here at Messiah that is in charge of getting us on the field when we are injured...... Yikes!

People of Messiah

The new batman movie did most of its filming in Pittsburgh (for obvious reasons) but some filming went on in lottie.

Nuff said

Lanc is #1 Place to Live?!

The people of lancasterburghville have voted.......

I have been accused of making fun of Lancaster. But after seeing this, I thought of ten reasons why Lancasterians WOULD indeed have the best overall sense of well-being.
