Harvard’s own Red Line will be competing in the 16-team National Championship Tournament next weekend.
The tournament will be held in Devens, Mass., and carries the hefty burden of brightening up my view of the Harvard sports world.
The seven-on-seven game has done nothing but irk me over the last two years, as frisbees whizzed by my head while I tried to traverse the MAC Quad.
I never really saw the point, and wrote it off as an activity, and certainly not a sport.
The Red Line has thankfully proved me wrong. Better than some 175 schools in the country, the team has demonstrated the intense dedication and passion for competition that I would have thought laughable.
The players are actually running the steps of Harvard Stadium in preparation. My scoffing days are generally over when such stamina enters the equation.
If that doesn’t convince you, the rules of the game ought to be appealing to any sports fan on campus.
