CU-PU Lacrosse

[Towerroad]

A good win after an atrocious start (we defended really poorly and were getting killed on the faceoffs). West did very well in goal when he came in, and pulling it back to two goals at halftime was big. My friends and I taunted the Princeton players after the game, they cursed at us, we laughed. A good afternoon all around.

You taunted the Princeton players? No surprise that they cursed at you.

I think the point is, you taunted them "after the game."  Your "mission accomplished" is (besides those players thinking of you as assholes,) they will play with increased intensity against us next year just to stick it to us.  Not the same as in-game taunts meant to get in  their heads and disrupt them during the game. It's childish, classless, and just stupid.

Thanks for being more direct than I was. I thought the ? would make my point, but although in person, with emphasis on taunted and an up turn at the ?, it might have, in print it didn't. Maybe, "You taunted the Princeton players?" would have been better.

So "season's over" is no longer an acceptable chant at Cornell sporting events? I'll keep that in mind.

No, I don't have any problem with that during the end of the game. By the way you phrased it, I assumed you taunted individual players that you saw after the game, rather than a cheer to the team. For me that's a step over. Once the game is over, we should all be cordial to each other (exceptions expected).

I agree, the athletes leave it all on the field and so should the fans, particularly as it relates to visiting athletes. As hosts we have the duty and privilege of hospitality.
