...changed on Saturday. In front of a packed Ohiri Field, with a throng of shirtless men cheering on, the Crimson played in one of the greatest Ivy League matches in the program’s history, winning the game and the Ivy title in a 2-1 double-overtime thriller. What mattered nearly as much was what happened off the field. The crowd packed the stands, spiraling out to the Columbia side of the field. From the final 10 minutes of regulation until Lizzy Nichols’ penalty kick winner with nine seconds to go, no one sat down...

...rather enjoyed that meal. He gets his karmic retribution moments later when Katy Perry’s scary-ass entourage of similarly jilted brides begins to circle him, menacingly wielding baseball bats. The mascara-streaked faces and torn clothes are reminiscent of MJ’s “Thriller,” except these girls are a bit livelier. The emotional, “love bi-polar” brides are absolutely terrifying as they chase Alexander down an alley. I’m surprised the little boy didn’t start to cry. But please note, ladies...
