...reason to get too worked up about yesterday’s defeat. It was a non-conference game. It was a Wednesday afternoon game following a several-day layoff. Harvard’s 1-2 start thus far, beating Vermont, and losing to UConn and New Hampshire, is on par with last season. Beating UConn was not the primary goal of the Crimson’s season...

Both of which are much nicer terms - and both of which are likely be the terms du jour well into 2002. And that?s if the consumers keep bailing...
