Saybrook

Well, half the fall has gone by and things have been going pretty much according to plan. First, I would like to give a loud shout out to my boy Gadoboom, and his cronies Sherlock "The Man," Ras, and Sarah for the job they've done in the Houn. Two years ago, the 'brook and Calhoun were 11th and 12th respectively and now look at us. Enough about that, we'll see y'all on the 15th on the football fields. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Teddy Werner '98 and his men's football team, including Jeremy "Bald but Beautiful" Rissi '99, who is looking to put his interception total in the double digits, the infamous Ben "McSnuff" McGrath '99 with his acrobatic catches, and Dan "Teenwolf" Fingerman '00, improved to 6-0 with 29-0 and 20-14 victories over TD and Pierson, respectively, to continue Teddy's final attempt in his quest to finally take home the elusive football Tyng. Coed football rallied from a 5-on-6 handicap and a 13-0 deficit with eight plays left as Natasha Bloom '00 and Kevin "I got game" Irwin '99 scored late touchdowns to edge Pierson in overtime 19-13 while seniors Michael "Tweety" Looney and Jordan "The Sack King" Neysmith combined on a beautiful interception and touchdown to end the game.

Saybrook still continues its dominance in racket sports, although we, unlike Berkeley, don't like to brag about it so much. Admittedly, although Berkeley's intramural articles about armadillos, and TD's lack of genitalia are fascinating, it doesn't hide the fact that only BK's women, easily the best at Yale, save the college from the lower echelons as evidenced by Berkeley's 0-10 record in strictly male sports. No offense. Anyway, the Saybrook tennis juggernaut led by captain Jeff "The Master of Recreational Sports" Pickett '98, and seven frosh including Neal "I can double fault seven times in one game and still hold serve" Bakare looks to gain some revenge on BK next week for table tennis and also to finish that undefeated season.

Oh, let us not forget soccer, and Saybrook men's remarkable three consecutive wins, albeit two by forfeit, after a 0-3 start. Congratulations are also due to Andrew Gerber, TD '99, who let in the fastest goal in intramural history as SY scored only 25 seconds into the game. It is commonly known that those who boast the most do the least, and poor Gerber is a prime example. He should just be grateful that KY and Manders have graduated. Otherwise, they'd make sure to keep him locked in the Timothy Dwight basement and far away from the intramural fields. As one former TD secretary once said, "You can't make a chicken sandwich out of chicken poopy." Also, shoddy Middle English imitations and a lot of fertilizer just won't get the job done this year, TD: Davis and your women can't carry ya'll forever. "Out of Control" Val Stoval '98 is back on the fields, Saybrook finally has found its women, and the Tyng is ours for the taking.
