It certainly seemed to plague Callahan more than most, as he ran for two touch-downs and was instrumental in last season's rout of Harvard.

Of course, a desire for revenge can only do so much, and an effective offense--not team spirit--is what translates into yards. But this year's Crimson team is acutely aware of what happened last year, and don't underestimate the motivation factor.

A 'Cold, Bleak Winter'

"I can't imagine us being much more fired up than we are now," senior defensive end Spencer Neumann said. "But what happened last year is definitely a factor in the back of our minds. There's just no way we'll let that happen again."

"Basically, they humiliated us last year," senior defensive back Greg Belsher said. "This is always a big game, but because of the revenge factor, it's even bigger."

Perhaps Harvard Coach Joe Restic was thinking about motivation for tomorrow's game when he stood in Dillon Field House and reflected on last year's loss. "It wasn't a long, pleasant winter," Restic said. "It was cold and bleak."

Well, the chance to prevent another cold and bleak winter stands before the Crimson, and perhaps the memories of last year's Game will once again come to the fore tomorrow.
