...plays.”Not only is the opponent perhaps the toughest the Crimson will face this season, but the team will have to do it in front of a larger-than-usual audience. Students had to enter a lottery for tickets in what is expected to be a sold-out Lavietes Pavilion, and of course, ESPNU television cameras will be watching every move.“It’s great if we have that, and we want that—that’s our goal and what we’re looking for,” Amaker...
Then, before a sold-out crowd and scores of media members at Harvard Stadium, Harvard launched one of the most unlikely and thrilling comebacks in the history annals. Champi drove the Crimson the length of the field, at one point converting a third-and-long with a lateral to one of his linemen.

Indeed, Watson, 79, says he is "mortified" by the imbroglio, and apologizes "unreservedly" for the offending comments, in which he suggested black people are not as smart as whites: he told the Sunday Times' Charlotte Hunt-Grubbe that...
