GET YOUR GOAT ON FOR MUSTACHE MADNESS
Lacrosse Mustache Madness, a two month-long event that brings out the best facial hair afi cionados in the sport every October, is in its seventh year. Denver Outlaws defenseman Ken Clausen started it when he was a senior at Virginia. Since then, LMM (
LaxStacheMadness.com) has raised more than $500,000 for cancer research and now exclusively benefi ts the HEADstrong Foundation. So while we're all talking about GOATs, why not go with a goatee? Call it lax ’stache maaadness.
1. LET IT GO.
Stop shaving for several days and let the facial hair grow around your mouth and below your nose. Use this time to visualize your goatee. Do you keep the mustache with it or go strictly goat? Will you rock the Van Dyke beard (beard and mustache grown separately) or connect those cookie dusters full circle?
2. GIVE IT DEFINITION. Time to shave. If you use a manual razor, use a new blade. If you use an electric
razor, use the trimmer tool. Goatees require shaping. Make sure you shave symmetrically with sharp corners at the jawline.
3. MAINTAIN IT.
Shave off any new stubble growth outside of the goatee to keep it neat. Shampoo and condition your beard daily.
EVER WONDER?
How exactly did a goat become the mascot of Navy sports?
Centuries ago, goats were an integral part of Navy life. Sailors kept livestock on board for sustenance and, in some cases as pets.
Legend has it that a beloved pet goat died at sea while on
board a Navy ship. Offi cers saved its skin to have it mounted upon arrival in port in Baltimore. On the way to the taxidermist, the ensigns dropped in on a Navy football game. One of them decided to romp up and down the sideline
cloaked in the goatskin. Navy won the game. The fi rst live goat appeared on the sideline during the fourth Army-Navy football game in 1893 and became a fi xture on the sidelines starting in the early 1900s, when it was given the name Bill.
Thirty-four goats have since served in this capacity, joined by the more frequently seen costumed human mascot. Team Bill is a group of Navy midshipmen who volunteer to take care of the Bill goats and transport them to and from events. Bill XXXIII and Bill XXXIV currently reside at a dairy farm in Gambrills, Md.
