It's time to give Harvard their first loss at home this year. These are the kind of games you want as a player, coach and a fan. Go Tiger!

Reading PAW articles on sports is like excavating cuneiform tablets. Their lag has gone from quaint to absurd as the Internet replaces hard copy publications. Next up, Marduk defeats Gilgamesh for the championship, visits Hammurabi in the White Palace.

THE USA Today? You've been watching too much Colbert Report.

It's almost sad how dismissive people are about this Ivy consideration thing. Harvard, looking at a low-to-mid 40s finish, is more deserving than a handful of schools who are considered last-four-in by some people.

Hopefully it won't matter a stitch for Princeton though. You must be more excited about going to this game than any other in a long time.

Glad someone appreciated THE USA Today today.

I would describe my current emotional makeup as "weirdly serene."

Was much more anxious about yesterday's game for whatever reason.

Marduk defeats Gilgamesh!
