Hey, Brian...

All That JAZ

By Jeffrey A. Zucker

Just tell Brian "we're going to kill him."

Ah, how nice. Anything else?

"Nah, just that we're going to kill him."

O.K. you nutty guys, just Brian?

"Nah, tell 'em all we're gonna stick it to 'em."

Super guys, super. And by the way, is anything, ah, wrong?

"Heck, no. Just that we owe 'em one."

Oh, really?

"Yeah, really. We're big, we're strong, we're on scholarships and we ain't supposed to lose to Ivy boys. So in fact, we might just kill 'em all."

Now, guys, you're only 0-1-1 in the last two years against these 'Ivy boys. 'That's no big deal.

"No big deal? We'll tell you what's no big deal. They ain't gonna be no big deal when we get through with 'em. That's what's no big deal."

Wonderful guys, and just one more thing.

"Yeah?"

Don't kill 'em; just beat 'em.

"Easy."

HOLY CROSS 35, HARVARD 21

Here goes nothing:

COLUMBIA 10, LAFAYETTE 9: Believe it, because it's true, Lafayette's worse than Columbia.

CORNELL 3, COLGATE 2: These guys ought to stick to hockey.

PENN 33, DAVIDSON 32: Question: Is there a better team in the Ivies? Answer: Nope.

LAST WEEK: 2-2, Just as good as the Redskins, but at least I'm going in the right direction.

SEASON TO DATE: .500. So who's counting
