Harvard Sucks

Moore had two more for the Rangers tonight.  Did these two remind you of any of his goals while at Harvard?

Life's too short to waste time watching Ranger games.

The nuances of the English language aside, Harvard sucks!

Intesting note, and rare show of respect for the rivalry, from wednesday's Crimson:
[q]
And for all the fan hype leading up to Friday’s Cornell gameâ€"it is, after all, The Game for Harvard hockeyâ€"Saturday’s contest against Colgate should not be lost in the shuffle. [/q]

Also, a bit off topic, the crimson ran a column blasting one of the sun's columns.

I'll be first in line to criticize the Sun most of the time, but it seems like the piece in the Crimson was a little much.

Article in Wednesday's Crimson refers to the Cornell-Hahvard game in Lynah East as 'The Game' of Hahvard hockey.  Perhaps some of them care?

It is idiomatic; nobody is confused about the speaker's meaning. Slate had a column about the use of "literally" a few weeks ago.[/q]

I believe Steve Rushin had an article (Air & Space?) in SI a year or two ago about the misuse of the word "literally" in sports reporting/broadcasting.  Not prepared to do a search for it right now, however.  It was quite funny.

That's funny. My pet peeve is people getting exercised about the intentional, sarcastic use of an expression to mean its exact opposite. ("Literally," "fat chance," "I love you," etc.) It has a long tradition as idiomatic English. I'd be shocked if it didn't happen the same way in other languages.[/q]

I'm very confident that the initial use here wasn't intentional (nor was its use ironic, sarcastic, or funny).  It's a very commonly misused idiom.  It should be "Harvard students couldn't care less."

Mein Gott.  I didn't go back to re-read the Sun article, but the Crimson article that it spawned is borderline unreadable.  My favorite gem:

[Q]There are myriad angles from which to attack this ponderous dilemma.[/Q]

Keep in mind that at this point he hadn't even mentioned that there was a dilemma,  much less that it was a "ponderous" one.  What the heck is a ponderous dilemma, anyway?

Ah well, at least I'll now know a ponderous article about athletic scholarships when I see one...

[Rich S]

or Devils games so far this year!

ever hear of ESPN's Sport Center? :-D

"Ponderous dilemma" is a phrase one uses when trying to look a lot more intelligent than one actually is in all likelihood.

Put it another way: O-ver-rate-d *clap clap clapclapclap*. :-D
