re: Doug Glanville's experience at the Box...as written in the Advocate

The reason the LSU fans applauded was because, for the most part, Stoney Brook beat us the right way. They came out and played harder. They didn't play dirty (except for maybe some of the sliding spikes first type stuff), they didn't win because of controversial calls (the umps were awful but Stoney Brook would have won without them), they won because they played harder.

LSU fans clapping for Stoney Brook was because we saw them as a truly worthy opponent. If we are to lose, we want to lose to a team that we see as our equal or our better. Stoney Brook was certainly worthy of our respect by the end of that series.
