If you're familiar with Inside Lacrosse Magazine, you've probably come across a feature in the Freestyle section called "Roommates." It all started two years ago when we sent surveys to a bunch of schools and Notre Dame and Johns Hopkins sent us back straight gold. Notre Dame's responses turned into last year's blog, one of the greatest additions to the history of mankind IL has ever made, and Hopkins' responses gave a glimpse into the lives of four studs at the D1 level.
I don't know whether Sam DeVore, Steve Boyle, Mike Kimmel and Mike Powers still live together, but they did at one point, and in the spirit of rivalry, here's a look back at the now senior stars dorm room two years ago.
Who...
Is the messiest?
Kimmel: Powers. You can't even see an inch of carpet in his room because it is covered with dirty clothes that he calls his wardrobe.
Powers: I am definitely the messiest, without a doubt.
DeVore: Powers
Boyle: Powers
Stays up the latest?
Kimmel: Powers. I'm convinced that he's nocturnal. I honestly have never seen him go to bed before 3 a.m., even if we have to be up early for something. Boyle loves naps.
Powers: Me. My roommates wonder if I even sleep. Boyle is in bed at like 9:30. He's always yelling at us to keep the noise down.
DeVore: Powers. Always playing his guy in Madden
Boyle: Powers. I'm not sure he even sleeps
Has the most DVDs?
Kimmel: DeVore and Powers both have a solid DVD collection. Boyle and I own one or two DVDs between the two of us.
Powers: Either me or Sam, but we really don't have a big DVD selection.
DeVore: Me. But Powers is always trying to take them.
Boyle: Kimmel. He loves watching game film of himself.
Has friends over the most?
Kimmel: DeVore. Everyone gets along with Sam.
Powers: Sam. He's a ladies man.
DeVore: Kimmel. They come to listen to his poetry.
Boyle: DeVore. Ladies dig the guitar, but Kimmel has newfound confidence because he got his braces off last summer.
Takes the longest showers?
Kimmel: Me. I take naps in the shower. We took a stool that we were supposed to use for eating and put it in the shower as a seat. It's quite comfortable.
Powers: Steve. Whenever I wake up to shower there seems to be no hot water
DeVore: Kimmel. He sits on a chair that used to be in our living room.
Boyle: Myself or Kimmel, but he is always late for stuff.
Eats the weirdest things?
Kimmel: Me. I put mayo on just about everything.
Powers: Kimmel. We kind of all eat the same stuff, but he eats the weirdest mix.
DeVore: Kimmel. Who puts mayonnaise on egg rolls?
Boyle: Kimmel. I'm pretty sure he eats mayonnaise with his cereal he likes it so much.
Breaks things in the room most often?
Kimmel: Me or Powers. We are both clumsy at times.
Powers: Kimmel broke the remote one time, so we couldn't watch TV for like two weeks.
DeVore: Kimmel. He managed to break the toilet paper holder.
Boyle: Everyone does thier fair share, but Kimmel never fixes anything.
Fixes stuff in the room most often?
Kimmel: DeVore is definitely the handiest out of the group
Powers: No one. Once it's broken, that's it.
DeVore: Once it's broken, that's it.
Boyle: Nobody really, they shut off our cable a couple weeks ago and we still haven't gotten it fixed.
Is the best cook?
Kimmel: Powers. He makes great egg sandwiches.
Powers: Me. But I can only make eggs. That's about as far as the cooking goes for the room.
DeVore: Powers. Great eggs.
Boyle: Powers. He makes a mean egg sandwich.
Is the worst cook?
Kimmel: Me. I only know how to use a microwave. I can't even make an egg.
Powers: Kimmel. The only thing he knows how to use is the microwave.
DeVore: Kimmel. Doesn't know how to cook eggs!
Boyle: Kimmel. I'm not sure he even knows how to use the microwave.
