What Do You Do to a Georgetown Lacrosse Fan?

PrintOn the way in to work this morning I happen to sit down behind a man wearing a Georgetown lacrosse hat:
(hard to see, but there's a lacrosse stick stitched in under the "G")
High off of the huge Orange win, I just sat their for awhile, enjoying my feeling of superiority over this man.
And then I wondered what I should do. Do I bring up the game? Or should I just focus on lacrosse? I mean, does a man in a Georgetown lacrosse hat even care about the basketball team? Do I go all out, throwing every Hoya insult I can think of at him? Or should I take it easy? He did look sleepy and depressed. The loss was embarrassing enough; would forcing him to tears really be necessary?
Paralyzed in the face of so many options, my ride ended before I did anything. But I live in the DC area. This will happen again and I must be prepared. What should I have done?!

Beat him with a tire iron? Maybe a little out of bounds.

perfectly acceptable
Assuming he was foaming at the mouth, which in this case is implied.

Point and laugh at him – loudly – for the duration of the ride, and as he (or you) exits the bus, and even as the bus pulls away. Or, if you exit at the same time, follow him to wherever he’s going, pointing and laughing the whole time.

Georgetown Lacrosse?
It’s really laughable
aha ha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha aha ha ha ha oooh oh oh oh oh wah ha ha ha wah ha ha ha
(be prepared for me to use that for any prediction that involves none of Syracuse, Hopkins, Princeton, or Virginia winning the NCAA lacrosse tournament)
But yeah, I’d go with pointing out the lack of lacrosse success and then rip on him for last night
something like this
You: Hey, I didn’t realize G’town had a Lacrosse team
Random Hoya Fan: Uhh, yeah. But I am stupid.
You: Guess that makes you Syracuse’s bitch in that sport too. Oh, and good hoops game last night.
RHF: Huh? I’m stupid. And big words. Make me angry.
You: Figures. You probably should just stick to getting your ass kicked at basketball then.
RHF: I want to be un-stupid.
Then proceed with kotite’s response above. Or commence with the tire-ironing. Your choice.
I like the combination!

It's interesting
how G’Town can recruit great players then suck with them in lax (I knew one of them personally). What, are they two years removed from their last NCAA bid (that was the year we had a losing record but we STILL beat them that year)? Have they ever even been to a final four?
I’d just show him that pic Glaude has of sad JT3 anyway.
But in all seriousness, in lax Hopkins makes a better rival than G’Town, though hopefully with the new Big East conference that will change.
Sadly Georgetown's pretty low on the lax rivalry depth chart
1. Hopkins
2. Virginia
3. Princeton/Cornell post 09 championship game
5. Maybe Georgetown or Notre Dame
Am I right or wrong with this? Cause that’s how I kinda see it
Well Hopkins is like the Notre Dame/Duke of lacrosse.
So they have to be number one on our list that way. Virginia is next because of the success we’ve had at their expense and vice versa.
And there’s Hobart! We have a trophy! Sure it’s been around for like 28 years and Syracuse has won it 26 or so times, but you have to respect a rivalry with a trophy!
And there was that thing with Uconn.
I’d love for Syracuse/Georgetown to be a rivalry in lacrosse. But they’d probably have to make it past the quarter finals at some point.
Put him in the long boat till he’s sober,
Put him in the long boat till he’s sober,

Earl-aye in the morning.
Yeah… sorry.
