Fried sees a lot of himself in Maki, a first-year winger from Shelby Township, Mich. They are roughly the same size: Maki is 6’2, 195; Fried is 6’3, 210.

We should not forget that a sophomore making the long walk back to the river is no less vulnerable than a first-year walking home from the Carpenter Center at 3 a.m. Just because we get a little bit older and move out of the Yard, it does not mean that we should be banned from relying on our former homes as areas of safety...
