The sports editors at The Daily Princetonian sincerely apologize. It is customary for our papers to exchange columns on the eve of the first Penn-Princeton basketball game of the season, and Tuesday ...

The campus must have been electric with all the excitement over the Women's Squash national championship! I can't imagine how thrilling that night must have been for all 12 people who knew and cared!
Noah--You not only don't know what you are talking about, you don't even have a clue that you don't know what you are talking about.
Which of the following NCAA championships is televised nationally by CBS and watched by millions?
(a) Women's Squash
(b) Men's Basketball
There's no doubting your accomplishments in country club/Olympic sports are many. Unfortunately the number of people in the United States that care are few.
I'll take accomplishments in "country club/Olympic sports" over no accomplishments.
Touché on that point, sir.
However, the distance between one and the other is far smaller in the real world than it is in certain parts of New Jersey. And presented the choice between Yasser El Halaby plus a 2-12 basketball team, or basketball respectability coupled with squash mediocrity, I would surely choose the latter.
Clever signs by the Tiger band. True - an ugly game.
Quaker cheerleaders needed more enthusiasm.
Princeton cheerleaders needed more Massengill. Did you walk past them at game's end?
The only thing worse than being a Princeton man is losing to one.
After observing a moment of silence for the tragic death of an athletics department member in last week's airline crash in Buffalo, the Princeton section mocked the meningitis outbreak on the Penn campus. Truly despicable!

"No, we had a national title for women’s squash and an undefeated season for swimming and diving to cover, and that makes for a busy day for a sports page, doesn’t it? We would not expect you to empathize of course — your current managerial board has not had to deal with such an issue — but if you are curious, just ask the Pennsylvanian editors from 1986. They covered Penn’s last NCAA title — in women’s fencing, in case you were curious. They might understand."
FYI, the last NCAA championship the Princetonian covered was not the national title won by the squash team. Squash is an NCAA sport. The sport editor might want to read up on NCAA sports, before making claims in the future.
