Memorial Day weekend is usually a good one, thanks to the extra day off. It also happens to be home to a number of big events in lesser-followed sports. The NCAA finals of men's lacrosse take place on Saturday and Monday, one of my favorite events of the year. Unlike football or basketball, which are thinly veiled professional farm systems, the lacrosse finals make you believe you really are watching college kids. Okay, they may be the frat boys that you always hated (or secretly envied), but they look, act and pull for dear alma mater they way real college students do. The sport played at the highest level is good fun to watch, too.
This weekend also offers both the timeless Indianapolis 500 and the peerless Monaco Grand Prix. Put all of that together with the third games of suddenly compelling conference final series (final score point differential through four total games: 7 points) and a bunch of baseball games and you have a great weekend for sporting events.
So put your DVR to work and get outside!
