[+1] - engineer - 05/15/2009It means you failed to make the team. If ten people try out and only five can make the team, the remaining five are "cut" by the coach.
[+1] - Mame - 05/15/2009"Cut" in this case just means you didn't make the team. So your two friends did, but you didn't, so how might you react?
