That call could have gone either way, and if it had gone in Harvard's favor, the Crimson would still be only a game back in the League. Against Cornell, a 24-23 loss, bad luck victimized Harvard on fourth down again. Kacyvenski made what seemed to be a game-sealing interception with Harvard up 23-10.

...created Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. On the third day, the poor girl should have rested--"Still," her contribution to this soundtrack, is enough to make me you wish you had martyred yourself somewhere in between day two and three. Perhaps she could have done us all a favor and "uninvited" herself from the pop music scene for a couple of millennia or so.

Unfortunately for Kinkel, the judge was not in a forgiving mood. After hearing from the victims and their families, he used his discretionary powers to tack on an extra 86 years in prison, saying he felt Kinkel's potential threat to society was greater than any chance of rehabilitation. He did add, however, that if Kinkel followed through on his promises...
