I was at the American-Harvard game over the weekend.

Crowd was probably headed for about 1,000 give or take at Bender Arena.

When people realized that the Obamas were in attendance, the placed filled up 20 minutes later. And there were still another 1,000 people trying to get in outside the gym.

And the poor secret service was plenty busy trying to keep well-wishers away from the Obamas the entire game...

Mitch Henderson might want to invite alumna Michelle when Yale and Brown come to town this winter. Social media is a powerful thing. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

When we played a school in DC with her niece on the team, Michelle joined them in the halftime locker room and told them to keep pressuring the other team on defense. President Barack Obama joined Craig at U/Md for a NCAA WBB tourney game we were in. I believe alums Sotomayor and Kagan attended that one or the next one, putting Alito to shame for apparently not attending, lol.
