Well, unfortunately, my grand predictions of JE greatness in the last article were slightly off the mark. In the interest of keeping this article positive, let's first reflect upon JE's pros before I blast the pathetic inhabitants of JE who have no athletic ability whatsoever.

As a second-year resident of JE, I am proud of its cozy courtyard and its cohesive family-like atmosphere. I can honestly say that I feel like a part of JE and I know most people living there. JE has a great weight room and a great weight room manager (yours truly). JE also has a very good location on campus.

But none of this has anything to do with JE's IM program. When you're the IM secretary of a college that has lost more games in one week than it's won the whole season, it gets pretty depressing. In perhaps unprecedented form, JE has not won a game in five out of the 10 winter sports. The only bright spots have been the men's A-hoops team, which is 6-1, and the women's hoops team, which is 2-1.

Despite all this bad news for JE IMs, the secretaries have a plan to turn it all around. Free T-shirts. That's right. Any and all who show up for a requisite number of games will get free T-shirts. Girls? They just have to show up twice. Fellow JE athletes who may be reading this, I pray that you have some college spirit. We could really use some jock support.

Back to IMs...
