Team 5280 is a team effort and we are always looking for new stories, pictures, info so if you have any information lacrosse related or otherwise please send it to cdspangler@team5280.com.  Please remember we do have friends and families who read our stories from time to time but also they know us and should take everything with a grain of salt and a thicker skin than normal. 

   I hope you enjoy our news and photos as these are not what normal society does on a regular basis.  Most people live a normal life, eat, sleep, work, family but it is us and our families that get to enjoy a side of life seasoned with fun and yes shenanigans from tournaments and lacrosse games around the country.  Enjoy....

Announcements:

We want to congratulate Chris Bluse on his debut as a Chicago Machine.  Nice job Chris.

   Since none of you will send me Vail pictures here is a picture of Nate, Bluse and me on Bluse's graduation day from CU.  As you can see Nate and I are doing ok but Bluse is stuggling a bit to keep with the pace of the day.  Bluse is pretty much how we look in Vail for the 9:00 games so to imagine Vail in '07 just put a stick in Bluse's hand and multiply that by 28 guys and you have our team.  If you have photos please send them to me asap.
