A set of three non-conference games against local opponents in early September provided an important foundation for the young team as it prepared for Ancient Eight play. In the space of a week, the Crimson fought to wins at Northeastern and home against Boston University—the second of which ended in dramatic fashion with a Wideroff game-winner in double overtime—and nearly upset No. 10 Boston College in Chestnut Hill. “Those three games really stick...

We have a great time together. Winning just helps make it sweeter.” The next step...
...tendency will be to leave it at the lie: We fought and beat al-Qaeda in Iraq. But it's a lie we'll pay for later. By mischaracterizing the enemy in Iraq, we mischaracterize the enemy in Pakistan. Whether the car bomb that destroyed the Danish embassy in Pakistan on Monday was the work of an actual member of al-Qaeda or not does not matter - what does is that al-Qaeda's way of thinking is not defeated...
