To all you bettors, there is no surer thing than Harvard in a consolation game.

??  They've actually done okay in consolation games: 20-25, by my tally.  It's the fact that they've *played* in 45 consolation games that is eye-catching: 27-45 in the first round, with a significant amount of their success was stacked in the early years.

They are 3-17 in the first round over the last 20 years.

Don't shoot the clown, Robb.

Both.

Should've walked away, at minimum because of the consequences attached but also probably just a bad idea in general to get into a bar fight. But good that he stuck up for her.

The idea that he was sticking up for his mom, was a Twitter rumor that took off like wildfire and is being talked about like it's fact. That is still not proven by any actual evidence at this point. Not saying it didn't happen - but no actual news site has reported this.

That's why I keep mentioning the "stories" going around. There was one yarn, for instance, that the guy he hit was a bouncer who denied him a drink, but that seems to be debunked by now given that the victim was (I believe) identified as a PSU student studying immunology.

That being said, from CHN itself -

According to one source, another man was verbally harassing McKenna or a member of his family. After not stopping, the source said, McKenna got into it with the other man outside, and during a fight, threw a punch that broke the victim's jaw.

Also interesting to note - as per this official report, the fractures were on one side of the face and no missing tooth has been substantiated. (The fractures on one side makes more sense than both, given two punches thrown - it would make sense that McKenna's two [alleged] punches hit the same side, coming from the same fist. You could from both sides and two fists, but probably less likely.)
