We plan to lose weight, but ooh - a cupcake! We're especially irrational about money; we'll pay more...

They are very aggressive riders, so hopefully we will be able to make all of the right smart plays and clear the ball.” But despite technique and aggression, the main ingredient Harvard will need is the right mindset. “It all depends on who shows up on Saturday playing their best game,” Gottschall said. “It?...
