...because I didn't think the books were that great in the first place. They felt crude and overwrought and underthought to me, and maybe as if Frey were just a little too proud of what a thorough mess he'd made of his life. Yes, he violated the unwritten contract between writer and reader. I wouldn't blame anybody for being mad at him. I just wasn't that invested...

Teams who will face each other never exchange staffs, and information gained from one team cannot be passed on to an opponent. For example, information would never be passed from Harvard to a Toledo opponent following a Toledo visit. And while the possibility of a meeting between Harvard and a Toledo opponent is remote, the gap between I-AA teams like Harvard and I-A schools is rapidly shrinking...
