Phantom pain was a daily topic at OT--occupational therapy, the whittling porch for amputees. I made my first friends there. Most of my neighbors were half my age and from different backgrounds, small-town boys who had passed up college or blue-collar trades for a military life. I was urban, overeducated, untattooed and distrustful of uniforms and blind patriotism. But I soon discovered that I shared something with those soldiers larger than the differences in our biographies. We were men struggling for identity. The psychological scars of amputation ran deeper than those from conventional wounds...
...With the ref’s whistles pocketed, more contact on the next possession led to another turnover, putting the ball in Greenman’s hands with 20 seconds left.

The series of hard-fought, closely-contested clashes culminated with yesterday’s double-OT thriller. “I was starting to think my middle name was Overtime,” Crimson coach Katey Stone said, “I thought it was a great series overall. We match up really well, particularly this year. You knew it was going to be close...
...writing was on the wall—the game-winner was only seconds away. Dylan Reese picked out Jon Pelle at the far post with a perfect pass, Pelle one-timed it in, and the jubilant Harvard bench emptied to mob Pelle and celebrate the 5-4 OT win. And herein lies the beauty of sports. In under an hour, on a cold New England night, in a pair of mediocre venues cheering for one good and one not-so-good college team, you can experience certainty and shock, can feel bitterness and delight, can observe displays of breathtaking skill...
