...like hacking off so many limbs. (Presumably that?s why Peter Jackson has added 51 mins. of footage for the DVD of King Kong, which in theaters clocked in at an elephantine 3hr.7min.)

...times. The Crimson qualified both senior captain Clay Johnson and junior Kyle Kovacs for the event, and Johnson’s 77 points helped him finish third in his final singlehanded championship, while Kovacs was right behind in fourth place with 79 points.

Prior to each race, competing crews wager racing T-shirts, with the victors taking home the shirt of each crew they’ve beaten. Such practice would fall by the wayside under NCAA restrictions, destroying one of the more storied traditions of college athletics’ oldest sport...
