The great thing was the Hobart guys had brought cigars and champagne for themselves so they thought they had it locked up. And again, we were sort of underdogs in each of these games and everyone thought we were gonna lose. So actually as a lacrosse moment, that was actually the most exciting thing I ever went through. And then we went on to beat the Navy team in the semis, and then we ended up being X Hobart guys in the final, so we won the Vale championship. And probably about a dozen years ago, I was with a team, playing in a tournament, and we had… We had just not that many guys, we had 13 or 14 guys, so everybody was playing a lot of positions, actually, I was playing midfield for that, and we were sort of a scrappy underdog team, and we ended up pretty early on winning a game in overtime that was sort of unexpected. Yeah, so I played at Georgetown, the program has improved a lot, but it was a time when it was really transitioning, so it was… The quality of the play was not what it is today, but I played a fair bit after school in my Master’s program. Michael: Well, Sean, I’d have to say probably my favorite memory is post college. We’re both former lacrosse players, you played attack at Georgetown in the 80s, and I’d love hearing do you have a favorite lacrosse memory?
