Not sure if you are a Prep parent, or a product of Prep but you sound like an idiot. Relive your glory days buddy. It sounds like it was a great game and Prep pulled off an upset. [/quote]

Right on que! Talk about a case in point.

18:24 talks about how important winning is the the Landonites. And 00:15 comes on, calls him and "idiot", suggests he is somehow trying to relive his glory days (How?) and attempts to devalue the GP win by describing it as "an upset".  I have never seen a school --- coach/teachers, alums, fans, players and parents --- which is more obsessed with winning and which suffers more in defeat.

Some who watched that game have observed that the bigger, faster and more athletic Landon team was hamstrung by their player's concern over the coaching staff's possible reaction to their making a mistake versus just playing the game. That's a tough environment for a high schooler top play in. Maybe this makes men out of boys. But there doesn't appear to be much joy in the athletic experience on Wilson Lane.
