Since I feel weird about commenting on the guys' blog, I'm going to make a short post here instead in response to Berdanier's recent jeering commentary on the incidents of Thursday, November 12th (known as "The Great Cookie Incident of 2009"):

Putting aside all the various angry responses I have to such a post and such a despicable event, which I've already expressed perhaps in excess to the mens' team who apologized with lovely baked goods in return (thank you, much appreciated, even though Matty J may have eaten most of the banana bread), I have just this to say: WE PUT UP A DAMN GOOD FIGHT. I seem to remember outrunning a couple of unmotivated guys before a Mr. Eric Koenig decided to chase me for a good couple minutes before I was entirely exhausted - I could only put him off with the remnants of my quick soccer feet for so long, him being Mr. Endurance, at which point he caught me while I passed the coveted Cookies off to Anna Edwards, who sprinted away while I tackled ol' Headface, cookieless, to the ground.
So, Professor, this is just one instance of a damn good fight, since I was a bit too preoccupied to notice what else was going on. I do know a Ms. Clare Holdinghaus ended up with one of the boxes at the end of the run.
Fellow female harriers and warriors, feel free to comment or post with your own account of the admirable feats of bravery you all performed on that fateful Thursday.

How rude! What about the fact that one Jason Bureta and Matt McKay had to double team Miss Geneva to wrestle her cookies away? The 2 of them and 1 her? I'd say that was a darn good fight.
The post failed to mention how the cookies were used as weaponry later by the women. Or how Question Master was brought down. Clearly, surrendered was the wrong word. We didn't give anything up- the cookies were stolen.
We all put up a good fight, not just Eckburg although his efforts were brave. I was proud of us.
Chicks, go figure.
allenpg who are you to be criticizing people you don't know. you graduated like infinity years ago.
Having read both sides of the story perhaps the gentlemen did go a touch overboard. Just a touch.
Nothing against you guys...I'm just still bitter 15 years later for the women's team wasting good donuts out of the Dunkin' Donuts dumpster. They could have at least fed the dogs on the way back to campus...
Personally, I think you guys should blame Eckburg...:)
