Little did anyone realize that the Crimson would open the scoring just 1:08 into the contest and build up a 27-0 lead by halftime. As the final whistle blew on a 37-6 Crimson victory and another Ivy title for Harvard’s Class of 2008, the fans jumped over the (much shorter!) Yale Bowl walls to celebrate.

...specific interests and probably one that connects to you. I loved my matchbox car collection as a kid and I see that there's an online forum dedicated to Hot Wheels hobbyists: Mattel's official site hotwheelscollectors.com. I might be up for some regression. And that neighborhood kid who blew up one of my prized cars with fireworks? He might be found at the rotteneggs.com, a social network site dedicated to sophomoric practical joke enthusiasts...
