to all of the above comments i just want to say, and i know im speaking for the rest of the novice boat as well, next time, (if there is a next time), its staying in the boat. i personally didnt cheer and i know how immature it was to shove it in your faces like that. sometimes our boat just gets a little carried away and it was more like a 'wow that was an awesome piece' and a release of adrenaline, than a 'hey look we beat you guys'. but thanks for being so understanding anyway--i know if i were you and a novice boat did that to me id be pissed.

If they don't have the right to cheer about winning, you shouldn't have the right to whine about it. The Men's V8 got beat by the lightweight V8. You know what they did? They cheered. Did anyone in the Heavy 8 whine or complain about it? No. If you think they should hold their rejoice in, you should hold your complaints in.
Obviously the men situation is different, since the 500's where between two varsity boats. But when the guys in the novice racing 8 beat a varsity men's composite 8 in a few 500 pieces, they didn't say anything in the boat, because they would get the ****(use your imagination) beat out of them. I think the varsity girls should institute a beat down policy...joking about the last part. But seriously, getting beaten hurts, just be courteous and row it in silently, cheer later.
And one more thing just so i know who people are that are responding to posts. please place your name at the bottom of posts you make if you are anonymous.
