Not that it's even a blip on the radar that involves D1 football, but (outside of a pocket in Denver) lacrosse is a lot bigger in Cali than any place west of Ohio. Texas is making inroads due to their unstructured nature (coaches can coach year-round, etc) and the sheer athleticism/work ethic that Texas HS football demands, but otherwise everything west of the eastern seaboard states is a joke. Cali at least has a couple club teams (Alcatraz, etc) that consolidate and showcase talent, unlike the rest of the western time zones.
