...favorite example of this came a few years ago, when New Jersey was given a Major League Soccer franchise. The MetroStars, as the team was named, would play their home games at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

...This extreme outcome is not likely, but it's not impossible either - and that's exactly what critics of the technology are worried about.

So in thinking about the future, we would do well to follow two guidelines. First, we should leave our minds open, or at least ajar, to concepts that now seem on the wild...
...Tigers boast the most imposing top five in the country, with freshman sensation and intercollegiate No. 1 Yasser El-Halaby supported by seniors Will Evans, David Yik, Dan Rutherford and Eric Pearson, who comprise arguably the greatest class in Princeton history.

Indeed, last year, the team only barely captured the title and avenged its 5-4 upset loss to Princeton the previous year when then-co-captain Shondip Ghosh eked out a 17-15, fifth-game victory...
