Thanks!

That was a great article.  Except it really makes me pine for Lynah.

was a cute article. cool and slightly perplexing to see TSN giving us coverage. i watch it all the time when i'm in canada. anyone know why this guy was at the game? is he somehow related to sammy? seemed as if the main message behind the article was, "this boy deserves a chance to play after college."

Great article.  Having never seen 'Love Story', is there really a concentration on the Cornell / Hahvahd rivalry?  Is Lynah in the film?  Anyway, I'm printing the article to save.

great article. what is the background behind tsn? a little too lazy to look it up ;-)

You only need to watch the first 15 minutes of "Love Story."  The rest is just waiting for the woman to die.  The main character plays in the "Ivy Championship game" or something to that effect, and gets destroyed by Cornell players in a fight scene.  There's some quote about Cornell's team being stacked with "wild Canadian hordes".  Supposedly, the game takes place in Ithaca, but it (as well as much of the movie) was filmed at Harvard as mentioned here: http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/1996/02.08/AMany-Splendore.html

A quick search also turned up the follwoing good read: http://go8.163.com/se24/love/love3/love3.htm  It seems to be a book excerpt, and pretty much details the Cornell game in the plot (I cancelled the language pack installation my browser asked for, and it came up fine in english).  It describes the wildness of the Cornell crowd and the fact that there weren't many Harvard fans. The main character bleeds and one of his teammates cries.  The final score of that game, oddly enough, was Cornell 6 - Harvard 3.

You mean Love Story is longer than 15 minutes? :-)

Well, it doesn't interfere with the English, but unless you have the Chinese simplified character set installed you won't be able to look at the hyperlinked notes scattered around the text.  :-)  Apparently, it's a TOEFL practice dealie, and I'm curious to know if all of the mistakes (particularly in the first section) are transcription errors, or if a non-native speaker was more or less translating from a Chinese copy of Love Story (in which case it's pretty damn good).

The other thing I want to know is why, exactly, do I have the Chinese simplified character set installed on this machine?  :-O

Wow - learn something every day.  I didn't know that Hemmingway wrote Love Story....

[Josh '99]

It doesn't seem to be a very BAD translation, but the phrase "damn Canadian" just doesn't have the same ring to it as "fucking Canuck".

hey, hey, hey now! ;-)

[Al DeFlorio]

Maybe it was assembled in Taiwan.B-]

[Josh '99]

No, no, I mean in a literary sense!  I didn't say it, the stuck-up Harvard guy did!

I may be mistaken, but I thought there was a Love Story scene filmed on Tower Road
