The Maryland Lacrosse Thread That Has Seattle Fans Asking, 'What in the Emerald City?'

Okay, Seattle, buckle up. Normally, when you hit up Seattle On Tap, you're looking for the latest on Julio Rodriguez crushing dingers, Matty Beniers lighting up Climate Pledge, or Sam Darnold slinging it at Lumen Field, right? We live and breathe green and blue! But today, something truly wild landed on our desks from the "Testudo Times Staff" on June 18, 2026. And it's an "open thread" about "Maryland men’s and women’s lacrosse." You read that right. Lacrosse. From Maryland. What are we even doing?

Is This Real Life, 12s?

My first thought was, did I click the wrong link? Did some intern accidentally publish a placeholder from another site? Because as a passionate Seattle sports writer, I am absolutely scratching my head trying to figure out how "Maryland men’s and women’s lacrosse" connects to the heart of the Pacific Northwest. The source article calls this an "open space to discuss all things Maryland men’s and women’s lacrosse," and it asks us to "keep things respectful as always." Look, I can keep things respectful, but can we keep them *relevant* to the greatest sports fans on the planet? We're supposed to be breaking down how Joey Daccord's been performing, or if Jaxon Smith-Njigba is about to explode, not debating stickball.

The piece also mentions following "coverage of lacrosse and other Olympic sports." And while we appreciate all athletics, our focus here at Seattle On Tap is, well, Seattle! We're here for the Mariners, the Kraken, the Seahawks, the Sounders. We're here for Cal Raleigh's clutch moments, for Cristian Roldan's international call-ups, for the bone-rattling hits Adam Larsson delivers. Not whatever's happening on the East Coast with a stick and a ball.

The Real Scoop: Admin Notes and Confusion

Honestly, the most concrete facts in this whole thing are the administrative notes. It tells us that "all open threads will be restarted periodically as needed" and to "direct any questions/comments/concerns to managing editor Nolan Rogalski and the rest of the staff at testudotimes@gmail.com." So, for those of you with burning questions about Maryland lacrosse, there's your contact. As for us, our questions are more along the lines of, "When is Julio playing next?" or "How's Vince Dunn looking on the blue line?"

What Now, Seattle?

So, here’s the deal. While we respect the "Testudo Times Staff" and their commitment to Maryland lacrosse, our commitment is to you, the 12s. We’re going to keep our eyes glued to T-Mobile Park and Lumen Field, to Climate Pledge Arena. We’ll be ready to dissect every play, every goal, every home run from our boys and girls in green and blue. Forget lacrosse for a minute. What's at stake for Seattle On Tap is staying true to our city, our teams, and our dedicated fans. What are you looking forward to most from our actual Seattle teams this week? Let's talk about THAT instead.
