Here’s all I’ve got to say about today’s Virginia-Maryland men’s lacrosse game: it was so long, the system they use to input stats could not handle the game.

Terp SID Patrick Fischer attached this note to the bottom of his write-up on the game:

 NOTE: Stats are not available. Statcrew software is not programmed to handle a game past four overtimes. Stats will be posted onumterps.com as soon as a solution is worked out.

Yeah, it was that kind of game, Virginia beating Maryland 10-9 in the first minute of the seventh overtime – the 85th minute of the game.

To say it was exhausting would be putting it lightly. We’re already back from Charlottesville, but I’m beat.
