HARVARD SUCKS

[billhoward]

Writers are under pressure to crank out a lot of copy for not much money. Nowhere did the story say the writer reached out to Vesey for his side of the story or to confirm or deny he had an agreement.

Sports journalism: the LA Clippers of journalism, since Grantland Rice.

Aren't the Clippers somewhat good these days? Unlike Harvard, who sucks.

I thought they changed their address.  Maybe I should have said "San Diego Clippers."

The answer to this question is contained, in part, to the book Odd Man Rush by Bill Keenan.  He played for Harvard around 2005-7 then knocked around the European minor leagues.  Book is hilarious, with a fair amount relating his time with (and antipathy toward) Coach Donato - whom the Harvard team apparently refers to as "Doughnuts,"  Well worth the $9.99 on Amazon.::banana::::banana::::banana::

I like to think it started in 1962, but the technology needed time to catch up.

Dartmouth is coming off a 3-2 win over Michigan, while Harvard blew out Arizona State twice. We've got a tough challenge this weekend for sure.

Is that a Koharski reference?  ::popcorn::

...without which I might not be married. So there's that.

Is that comment meant as an expression of joy or sorrow?

Joy. It was too early in the morning for a truly emotive post. ::banana::

A cousin of mine has died and I won't be going to the games this weekend. That means I won't be bringing Snickers for the band (I'm assuming there will be some members at the games, but with the home football game, I'm not sure.), or to throw. Also no newspapers. I'm wondering if anyone could bring Snickers for the band and to throw, if they like. Also I know that many of you will bring your own newspapers, but it would be nice for someone(s?) to bring extra to the Harvard game. I've got standing room tickets for the Harvard game and my first choice is to give them to anyone that'll help. I can email them.

At least they suspended them.  c.f. Baylor.
