Quote of the Day

No one needs to worry that Tommy Amaker isn't realistic about Harvard's stunning win over BC; however, this is one aphorism I certainly never heard before!

"What's the old saying?" Amaker asked. "Today's peacock is tomorrow's feather-duster."

I hope he did get to savor the win before he headed back out to recruit. At least, the team is now on exam break which gives the coaches a chance to catch their breath.

Congratulations to Cornell, Ivy League Champions!

Harvard came so close to beating Cornell in Cambridge (Allston) on February 15th but did not put up much of a fight in Ithaca on 3/1. However, it is great to see a team that isn't Penn or Princeton win the Ivy League and qualify for the NCAA Tournament, and some day it will be the Crimson, now that they are led by Tommy Amaker. I was glad SportsCenter showed the Big Red clinching their birth and celebrated their unbeaten Ivy season, although sad to see my forlorn players in the background. I pity the poor parents who followed the team to NYC and Ithaca this weekend - very depressing.
