After struggling with a newly installed running offense and full-court press in their first five games, the Crimson (2-4, 0-0 Ivy) overcame a lackluster start to thrash the Lady Terriers...
...that I should." The "some people" Graffin referred to may have been Meatloaf fans whose votes had the year before propelled an actor and a sycophant into the White House. More likely, however, "some people" was a reference to the punk rock community.
