Harvard Coach Tim Murphy has his own opinions on that subject, but the fact that the conversation is taking place at all is proof of how far Harvard has come in just one calendar year. Last season, 1997 might have well been 1897. Just three years removed from its glorious Ivy title season, Harvard was finding new, inventive ways to lose, and Murphy was forced to defend himself and his team almost every other week.

...pilot husband Li (Shao Bing), so smooth he looks like he has taken time off from his day job as James Bond. Both board the same Shanghai to Beijing flight. With that established in a couple of gulps, Zhang sets his camera firmly on the ground. In one kitsch-glorious shot (there are many in the film), the stewardesses stride across the tarmac as the pilots proudly await. We get close-up head shots and slow-mo: a collective cut-and-paste of every MTV-Bruckheimer gimmick served up in a few flickering seconds...
