And I second that; huzzahs to coach Luria and the rest of the CC Tigers !!
And therein lies a question :-) Just how is it that the CC mascot was chosen
as a *tiger* ?? Given Colorado Springs location high in the mountains, I
would have expected something more akin to Catamounts (UVM), Wildcats (UNH),
or even Bobcats (Oyster River High in Durham, home of UNH) as emblematic of
fierce native "charasmatic mega-fauna." :-) And yet we have "Tigers;"
fierce, but hardly native. So what gives ... ?? Just curious .... BTW,
all those folks at Princeton can tackle the same question <grin>

Go Blue !!
