Going Dancing!

Friday didn't start like any other day.  Well, I mean it did.  It started with me reading the Wall Street Journal while Sportscenter played in the background.  But, this wasn't your everyday Sportscenter viewing.  Nope.  This time my school was highlighted on the program.  That's right, Harvard's game against Yale was picked for the "What to Watch For" segment!

Look, I get that seeing your school's sports program highlighted on ESPN isn't a big deal for many schools.  But Harvard tends to end up more in publications like the WSJ than on ESPN, so it was cool to see our game against our biggest rival (ewww Yale! safety school much?) spotlighted for everyone to see.  And it got me in the mood prior to hosting a viewing of the game later that day.  I was super-hyped all day!

Clinching a tourney berth is always a big deal.  But clinching a berth against your biggest rival on their home court?  Yeah, that's even sweeter.  Seeing the Yale fans stream out of their stadium as Harvard fans chanted "This is our House" while holding "Just Like Football" signs was something any Harvard alum could appreciate.  So here we are again.  March is here, and Harvard is again making its way into the tournament.  Lets hope they can repeat their success and win at least one game!

It could happen.  As just like Harvard's most famous basketball Jeremy Lin says, "#nerdscanhooptoo"  !!!
