Me: Is this what you expected?
Hand: I think [freshman] Jeff Blumberg is the weak link of the team.
Blumberg looks unhappy about the prospects of such a comment appearing in a newspaper.
Blumberg: We treat all of our opponents with respect...
Me: [To Riley and Hand] Do you have any chance of winning a national championship this weekend?
Riley: No, but anything's better than Princeton winning the championship.
Later, I ran into Blumberg and Harvard sophomore Andy Walter.
Me: [To Walter] How does it feel to win the Ivy League championship?
Blumberg: Put my quote in. But don't put in what David Hand said about me.
Walter: [To Blumberg] What did he say?
Blumberg reluctantly reveals what Hand had said.
Walter: How does a Yale player know our team that well?
You just don't find that kind of interaction after a Harvard-Yale football game. At least, I didn't.
It was just pandemonium.
