Flag Football: The Playoffs Are On
Keeping it Ugly
Re-emerging from the throes of last week’s shock defeat, NA embraced a much-needed victory in game 3 against NB. The first minutes of the game were indeed ugly as the two sides fought it out on a somewhat muddy surface that closely resembled an elephant watering hole in central Mozambique. However the rough terrain seemed [...]
Intramural Sports
In a few weeks, intramural sports will kick off with football and soccer. So what can we expect? Goals, blood, guts, thunder, fantastic skill and the odd mistake. But, alas, not much sportsmanship. As a serial criminal on the soccer pitch, and sometime offender on the basketball court in Shad, I wouldn’t pretend to be [...]
NJ Soccer Draws NB 3:3
Wednesday, October 23 Today, NJ played NB. Despite the cold weather and wet pitch, the teams were in top form. The game was tight until the last minute, and the game ended with a draw of 3:3. A draw was enough to ensure NJ the 1st place in its division, allowing it to skip the [...]
NA Shoots Down NE 6-3
Goose: “What are you doing?”Maverick: “Just wondering, ‘who’s the best?’” -Top Gun After dispatching NB last week, there is no doubt as to the answer. The game against NE got off to a flying start, when Joe ‘low hanging fruit’ Titlow struck a screamer into the bottom corner. This was followed by low exocet from [...]
NA Beats NB 6 – 5
“Do, or do not. There is no ‘try’.” – Yoda (The Empire Strikes Back)The tiny green Jedi master must have been visiting the IM Soccer fields last Wednesday as NA came back from a 4-1 half-time deficit to destroy NB with 5 second half goals. With pre-game strategy as clear as a TOM write-up, NA [...]
OB – The Legend Lives On
So much has happened to our section over the summer, besides NB becoming OB. The sexy soccer coach, Mark Crowther, announced that he and his wife Ernestine are expecting their first child. We also faired pretty well in matters of the heart: Jennifer Fung, Jill Botwick, David Thacker, Seth Meisel, and Phil Kerr all got [...]
Club B Does Vermont
The much-anticipated NB ski trip to Killington was this past weekend and we had an absolutely amazing time. Night One: B Gets BustedDespite the ridiculous traffic from seemingly EVERYONE in Boston going up North for the weekend, we all made it up to Killington on Friday night after a wonderfully short day of classes. We [...]
Club B in the House
Ok, so I’ll admit it. This is only my second article for the Harbus, and I am already out of ideas for the NB column. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be when I signed up for this job. To be honest with you, not too many notable things happen in [...]
ND Soccer Stifles NB, 2-1
ALLSTON (ND Press)-Unintimidated by NB’s gaudy shirts proclaiming “Sexy Football,” ND proved that you don’t need a uniform to win, besting their opponents 2-1. After an early goal by NB was allowed by the “honor scoring system,” ND’s defense rendered the opposing offense impotent. Marking opponents were Cameron “All Finance, All the Time” Jones, Kelly [...]
