...regarding his team’s offensive strategy for the contest against No. 5 Duke (5-0-1, 1-0-1 ACC) this weekend. The challenge for the resurgent offense will be more than the usual non-conference warm-ups when Kerr and his team run up against his alma mater and former coach, John Rennie, on Saturday at Ohiri Field.

Biden riffed about his dislike of Princeton, Alito's alma mater, one day, then donned a Princeton cap the next day and said he was okay with the school. More recently, on a trip to New Hampshire last month, he noted "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent," while attempting...
