...Ridolfi said, “and a big part of the men’s game is controlling the net.” Perhaps most importantly, however, Harvard managed to reverse its recent trend of sloppy play at the ends of games. The last ten points of the second game proved the most exciting of the match by far, with the Crimson fighting off the pesky Engineers and a lively home crowd. As the home fans chanted, “Let’s Go, Tech!” MIT tried to keep the score close with a couple...
With all these challenges, it’s no surprise that Mogwai’s work over the past ten years has been somewhat uneven. When they’re weak, the music is tedious, derivative, and overwrought. But when Mogwai are on, their songs stir us in a way that few other things—musically or otherwise—can.

I would venture to say that there were at least five good laughs at the expense of the white kid in the back with the “Harvard Baseball” t-shirt...
