...mojo with a Windy City casino, the governor has another big advantage. Over the past few years, Blagojevich has amassed a campaign war chest of more than $20 million. Over the summer, he had $12 million on hand while Topinka reported just $1.5 million in the bank. In a match-up where neither candidate's policy agenda has found much traction, it's hard to bet against the one whose budget for attack ads is virtually limitless...
...some great things yesterday,” Knoche said. “The first half of play was strong...[Our] composure was something we haven’t had before, and it is a huge step in our play. Any Ivy League game is always an intense match-up. We came out strong yesterday, but Brown held us and eventually finished with a goal. I believe we will learn from this game and come out even stronger against Providence.” Harvard will look to validate itself on its home turf Wednesday as it faces No. 16 Providence under...
...match-up of giant heavyweights, but the Harvard men’s soccer team’s match against the University of Pennsylvania this weekend is the first hurdle toward an elusive Ivy championship for both teams. Penn has not won since 2002—and only once since 1981—while the drought for the Crimson stretches back to 1996.

...game against a top twenty-five team would be it. Penn (4-0-1, 0-0-0 Ivy), the top team in the Ivy League with an unblemished non-conference slate, awaits the Crimson for Sunday’s game in Philadelphia. This weekend’s match-up will answer a lot of questions about how prepared the Crimson is to make a run at the league title. First-year players will play a big part in answering those questions. With twelve freshmen on Harvard’s twenty-one-player roster, the team will have to grow...
...History had a very selective memory in the 2005 season, forgetting Harvard’s past successes. The Crimson was shut out in five of its 17 games and scored a mere 19 points on the season. Four contests went to at least one overtime, including a three-overtime match-up versus Northeastern, but they all resulted in losses. However, history recalled with lucid remembrance the past 11 years of Princeton dominance that had led to 11 consecutive Harvard defeats—now an even 12. The disheartening 2-1 loss to the Tigers was the Crimson?...
