In an excerpt, a star player revs up his teammates during halftime of a big game against a key rival<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor’s note: On April 24, just weeks after the book was published, coach Richie Moran passed away<\/a> at age 85. A tribute to him in the <\/em>Cornell Chronicle can be found here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new book<\/em> We Showed Baltimore<\/a> chronicles the legendary Big Red men\u2019s lacrosse squad of 1976\u00ad\u201378\u2014when, under the leadership of coach Richie Moran, the team won 42 games (while losing just one) and notched two national championships.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by veteran lacrosse reporter Christian Swezey and set to be released by Cornell University Press\u2019s Three Hills imprint on April 15, the book is drawn from more than 90 interviews with players and coaches, from both the Big Red and its rivals.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among its main characters is a star player who, decades later, would become a hero and victim of the 9\/11 terrorist attacks: <\/em>Eamon McEneaney \u201977<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>

An All-American inducted into both the Cornell Sports Hall of Fame and the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, McEneaney perished in the World Trade Center after helping dozens of his colleagues escape. (Cornell honored him by retiring his jersey number, 10, in 2002.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an excerpt from the book, Swezey describes how McEneaney urged his teammates to victory during a key game against the University of Maryland<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘We Were Ready to Tear the Locker Room Door Down’<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At halftime Vincent Paterno, covering the game for the Diamondback<\/em>, the Maryland student newspaper, sat in the narrow press box and listened to the conversations of the writers around him. All seemed confident that Maryland would win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe numero uno T-shirts Cornell fans wore,\u201d he would write in the June 3 editions, \u201clooked as apropos as a McGovern-Eagleton<\/a> button.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underneath the main set of stands, Moran went to work. He had been offered the large locker room in the basement of Marvel Gym across the street\u2014the one used by visiting football teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a nod to the Big Red\u2019s underdog status, Moran opted instead for the tiny visitors\u2019 locker room underneath the main set of stands at Brown Stadium. (Maryland, as the higher seed, was given the Brown football team\u2019s home locker room.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With little ventilation, the air inside was heavy and still; Dave Bray \u201977 recalled thinking back to his childhood and being inside a silo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While players sipped Coca Cola, the preferred halftime energy drink, from wax cups, Moran went to the lime-green chalkboard and described two plays he wanted to run in the second half, the white Xs and Os and arrows chalked alongside the usual litany of phrases the coach had calmly written ninety minutes before the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moran also reminded the team of all the work it had done, all the mile, two-mile, and three-mile runs up and down the hilly campus in Ithaca even amid snow and ice (called \u201csweat hog runs\u201d) and all the practices in frigid Ithaca\u2019s early spring weather; the late nights in the polo barns playing box lacrosse games while much of the rest of the campus was sleeping or studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s why he gave every [workout] a name,\u201d Frank Muehleman \u201978 says now. \u201cSo he could refer to it when he needed to use it as motivation, reminding us of the sweat hog runs. \u2018You guys have worked your ass off, nobody has worked harder than you, now go out and take this game.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moran also took a shot at Maryland coach Buddy Beardmore, his close friend, saying Beardmore used to carry Moran\u2019s sticks to and from practice when the two were teammates at Maryland. It wasn\u2019t true but it was meant to give the Cornell players a boost, a little levity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moran\u2019s audience, in the stifling heat, shifted nervously. Despite Moran\u2019s effusiveness, they were unsure. Jon Levine \u201976, scoreless in the first half, slipped on a different pair of cleats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI was just trying anything to bring a little luck,\u201d he says now. Muehleman recalled his days at Sewanhaka High with McEneaney, on teams that cruised through the regular season only to fall in the playoffs. \u201cThis is just like high school,\u201d Muehleman thought at halftime. \u201cWe\u2019re going to get all the way and then lose again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McEneaney, the ultracompetitive athlete, carried with him a burden: On the morning of May 29, 1976, he had yet to win a championship at any level, in any sport. Whenever his lacrosse teammates wanted to tease the ultracompetitive attackman, the cudgel they most often used was to remind him of that fact.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

That Cornell was losing to Maryland would have been particularly galling to McEneaney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three years earlier he had told Beardmore that rather than accepting a full scholarship to Maryland, he would attend Cornell, working several summer jobs to do so, and would win a national title. What McEneaney remembered most about the moment was Beardmore\u2019s laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moran remained at the chalkboard, collecting his thoughts. The tiny room was steamy and silent. Then a voice broke through, high-pitched, with a Long Island accent. It was McEneaney.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was unusual,\u201d Dan Mackesey \u201977 said later, \u201cbecause Eamon didn\u2019t normally talk much at halftime. But he became pretty animated in that locker room.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

McEneaney began calmly, almost like a professor conducting a class. \u201cWhat are we going to do about this, guys?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without waiting for an answer he continued, words flying at a rapid pace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If the players had stared at the ground for Moran\u2019s words, they looked up to hear their teammate, the Ivy League Player of the Year, the All-American attackman and starting wide receiver who worked three summer jobs to afford Cornell when he could have been in the more spacious home team locker room, playing for Maryland and receiving free tuition, with at least one NCAA championship wristwatch already in his possession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McEneaney continued speaking, his teammates slowly nodding their heads, when he reached his crescendo: \u201cThe team that wins this game,\u201d he roared, \u201cis the team that loves each other more. And we love each other more than Maryland.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The team that wins this game is the team that loves each other more.<\/p>\nEamon McEneaney \u201977<\/strong><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter hearing him,\u201d Gary Malm \u201977, BS \u201978, says, \u201cwe were ready to tear the locker room door down to take the field.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moran, with his own motivational speech at the ready, quickly decided to say nothing. He simply waved the team onto the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moran later said that the people in the stands seeing Cornell emerge so early might have thought the coach had dismissed the players because he was angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t the case,\u201d he says now. \u201cI just didn\u2019t need to say anything more after what Eamon said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
