Check it out, and check back next week as we tackle the off-field topics for the 2024 season.

What a year in college lacrosse! We felt back in January that the 2024 season would be special, and it definitely delivered. The D-Fly and Dixie Podcast presented by Simplicity Group recaps Championship Weekend in Philadelphia, looks at USILA post-season awards and ties up some other loose ends. Dixie also makes his Tewaaraton Award prediction. 

In this week’s picnic-inspired Give & Go, the guys get excited about summer BBQs and chat about their favorite foods off the grill and on the picnic table. Also, in terrific tandem with the Fighting Irish, congratulations to the People’s Champ, chicken parmigiana, for running away with the #MaggianoMadness title.

Live from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, IL's Terry Foy and Nick Ossello unpack Notre Dame's 15-5 win over Maryland to win the program's second NCAA Championship. From Chris Kavanagh's MOP showing to the weather delay to what it's like to be in the building as a fan, they dive into the tactics and personnel behind ND's dominance, then touch on their Semifinal win over Denver and the Terrapins' 12-6 win over Virginia.

From there, they head downstairs to find attackman Jake Taylor and coach Kevin Corrigan. Come for Nick trying to pin down Taylor on who should win the Tewaaraton, Pat Kavanagh or Liam Entenmann, and stay for Corrigan's prediction for next season.

The dream begins each fall as newcomers join the veteran players on a quest to win a championship and bring glory to themselves, their teammates and their alma mater. This weekend the quest culminates in Philadelphia. Four teams. Four dreams. One trophy.

In this week’s pod, D-Fly and Dixie talk with CBS’s Evan Washburn and set the table for you to prepare for Championship Weekend. Let’s get it.
