Case in point: Every year greedy Harvard students line up around the block at Ben and Jerry’s for a free scoop of ice cream. These are the same students whose time is so precious that they can’t veer a few millimeters off course to let you by on the sidewalk. The same students who sip a $4 grande vanilla bullshit concoction while waiting for their treat. Even the lactose-intolerant kids stand in line, get their scoop, and throw it out, just so they can prevent a fellow student from getting a taste...

Masked gunmen, spacemen and George W. Bush are all major motifs...

Junior Corey Mazza, maybe the best receiver in the league, was run over while trying to run block for Dawson and severely sprained his ankle. His only recent appearances have been in sweat suits on sidelines. Senior Ryan Tyler, the team’s third wideout, went down with a shoulder injury against Lehigh.
