...last outcome, 86-50, looms, but every sports movie has an equivalent. Henry Rowengartner surrendered a homerun, hit a batter, and threw a wild pitch in his first appearance for the Cubs in Rookie of the Year. The Little Giants trailed the Cowboys by 21 points at halftime. The Mighty Ducks lost to the Hawks 17-0 before beating them to win the state championship. The Jamaicans finished last in the first heat of Cool Runnings (maybe a bad example because they ultimately lose, but who isn’t jacked up by these Winter Olympics...
Whether or not Magnarelli can offer meaningful minutes will be critical. In Ithaca, Foote abused every defender the Crimson threw at him, and Harvard is even more shorthanded now. I don’t know that Magnarelli can hold up, and for that reason, the smart money is on Cornell...
...Bangladesh, pushing over 2,000 Rohingya back across the border into Burma. More than 500 were arrested around the country in January alone.

We didn't see anything akin to the inspired performance Sarah Hughes gave in 2002 in Salt Lake City to best Michelle Kwan, or the house-rousing skate that Alexi Yagudin threw down that same year to claim the men's title. Something was missing, something that must have gotten stuck somewhere in the new computers the judges use to punch in their elements scores, and their skating-skills scores, and their transition and linking footwork marks, and their performance and execution...
Cornell still hasn’t forgiven the Crimson fan who threw a dead chicken at its goalie, Dave Elenbaas, in 1973. The Big Red ended that game with the upper hand by all measures. Not only did it knock off the then-top-ranked Harvard en route to an eventual NCAA berth, but Cornell fans got more animals on the ice that season as well. Later that month, Big Red fans threw dead fish onto the ice and tied a live chicken to the Crimson goal later that month. But Cornell still wasn’t satisfied...
