What a difference a week can make. After having the best passing attack in school history just over a fortnight ago in a 63-21 win over Dartmouth, senior quarterback Brad Wilford and the Harvard passing game have hit rock bottom...
...Dude Love, will see his first book, Have a Nice Day! A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks, hit No. 2 on the New York Times nonfiction best-seller list. In his memoir Foley relates how he overcame broken bones, a lost ear and a worthy opponent named "the Rock" to win the World Wrestling Federation belt last year.

In between the tracks, the voices of Hank, Bobby and other characters from "King of the Hill" provide narrative relief from the music, connecting the various rock and country groups. All in all, a fun album to listen to; if I had the choice, I would prefer to have the soundtrack infiltrate American homes rather than the TV show...
