I agree. Education is important and Stanford is a GREAT school but the "My school is better academically than yours" talk after a loss at this level is the talk of losers and I'll take the person with a winning attitude over anyone that justifies losing, no matter where they went to school. But that might be just me. I think your statement does not do the student athletes at Stanford justice. I am sure the Stanford girls aren't on the plane flying home giggling to themselves about Stony Brook's supposedly lack of academics compared to Stanford. If they are they deserve to lose every game. This is Division 1 lacrosse not the Mathletes. Make no mistake Stanford's athletic program is in the business of winning, on and off the field. You don't seem to be apart of that attitude.
