I've never understood the people who crap on that gesture of sportsmanship. Sure, cheering for a Tiger victory is the best, but I can't see any harm in the Stony Brook lap. They had just come into a legendary ballpark and defeated a legendary program. That's a pretty amazing moment for those kids and for their program, and for the LSU fans to have the realization of how big that moment was for those kids and for them to be willing to applaud a profound moment ... I see no wrong in that.

I cheer for the Tigers first and always, but I can tip my hat and occasionally even clap for the accomplishments of others when they've earned it. Stony Brook earned it.

I understand where you’re coming from but that Stoney Brook team had 7 guys taken in the draft that year. They weren’t your average school that got hot. They were legit with legitimate MLB prospects and we knew that going in. In terms of how special it was for those players I’m getting sure getting drafted in the top 15 rounds was just as special.

How do you think our guys felt when they saw their own fans giving a victory lap to the team that just ended some of their careers?

Because it wasn't a gesture of sportsmanship, that would come from the players. This was a look at me moment from the fans.

And a moment that essentially spat in the face of our own players whose seasons and careers had just ended. They had to sit there and watch these oblivious morons have a parade for the opponent after just playing their hearts out for said morons. It was insulting to our own players and a false gesture at best.
