Leaving Ithaca right now to pick up a friend at Smith and then we're heading straight to Cambridge.

It should be fun tonight, I know some away-game-virgin seniors are making the trip after they got a taste of Colgate Tuesday.

GO RED!

Should be an interesting game as always.  We haven't won in Cambridge since 2005 and Harvard's been up and down the entire season.  Just when you think they've reached their low point, they go a bit lower, and then get a surprise win.  They've solved Union twice this season and although we had a convincing win early in the season against them, they still put 3 in against us and 3 against Yale in each game.  Although we played well against Colgate we'll have to do even better tonight.  

Perhaps they'll confuse us for BU and think its the Beanpot - that will make them choke fairly easily.  I doubt it though.

See you all at Lynah East!

Adjusted prospective match-up, by margin

      *-18  17-11  10-4  3-m3  m4-*
YAL     1     1     1     1     0  
COR     0     1     3     0     0
UNI     0     2     0     1     1


If everybody won their games down to +4 and lost their games from +3 on, Cornell would eek out the RS title. ::banana::

Yes, I am very bored today. ::whistle::
