Umm, allow me just a minute to catch my breath. Could we seriously have asked for a better season opening game? I hope you were able to join the Knighthawks Krew down at the Stock Exchange, I'm sure they were a rocking. I took the opportunity for a Rochester lacrosse fans' dream weekend. I drove down to Philadelphia on Friday (yeah 30mph all the way to PA border :-( ) to witness the 2012 MLL Collegiate Draft on Friday night where I ran into Brian "Doc" Dougherty and Andrew "Buggs" Combs. By the way, they both send their greetings to all the Rochester fans and expressed their fondness for their time playing for the Rattlers. Saturday night, I witnessed LIVE what I'm sure all of you followed online or read about last weekend. The total and utter dismantling of the Philadelphia Wings by our "too young to win" Knighthawks. The shell shock on the faces of the Wings fans and even the players on the Wings bench during the game was pure joy to experience in person. Haha
It gets no less exciting this weekend, HOME OPENING WEEKEND! What better way to start the 2012 Home season then against the Buffalo Bandits? Always the biggest crowd of the season and it is time to show them why the Rochester Knighthawks are the team to beat in the Eastern Conference even at this young point in the 2012 season.
On your feet for intros, get that "LETS GO HAWKS" rocking so the people on Exchange Boulevard can hear it before they enter the building. Get your gameday going the minute you read this, tell your coworkers, fellow students, family, friends that they do NOT want to miss this game and supporting the Rochester Knighthawks, the best lacrosse players in the World!

Hawk Talk has inspired other lacrosse radio shows to pop up around the country, but listen to the original Hawk Talk for all of your Rochester Knighthawks game insight, player interviews, coaches breakdown and of course the opinions of Gonzo, Knabber and Kieffilica. We're working on a surprise for 2012, so stay tuned to Hawk Talk. Here is a hint, download the LIVE 365 app on your smartphone, tablet, etc. and search NLL Radio.
