A Call To Arms

GizneyWorld

Try again.

Would you rather go out on a Friday or Saturday night? The games start at 6:00 p.m. So, given the previous point, they are over well before most people even start planning their evening.

As a matter of fact, these games are a perfect way to get your evening started. Catch a game at six o'clock, scream your head off, get rowdy and go celebrate a Harvard victory (I'll leave the manner of celebration to your imagination).

So you see, there is no reason not to go watch the Crimson play. But the best reason of all to attend these games is really quite simple...this team is good!

Nothing is more exciting or more invigorating than cheering for a team that [pretty much] always wins. Even the fair weather fans would be happy. And hey, they are welcome to come also.

Let's put this into statistical terms. The maximum seating capacity of Lavietes Pavilion is 2,195. This team usually struggles to draw a crowd of more than 300.

I'm not a statistics concentrator, but that does not look, to me like a very high percentage.

Tonight, the Crimson will attempt to tie the record for most consecutive Ivy League victories. The only obstacle in its way is Columbia.

Start the support tonight. Come out and watch the Harvard Crimson write itself into the record books. You might just like what you see.

Hey, the players are going to play whether or not the fans are there. And they are going to win either way. Feaster will score her 25 points every night, Jessica Gelman will dish out her 10 assists and Kelly Black will be a terror on the boards.

But it would be nice if they had an audience for which to play.
