Tweets of the Week

We have hit the middle of October, and it is finally starting to feel like fall. The temperatures are dropping and the leaves are changing colors, making it very easy for you to tell which of your classmates are not from the New England area.

The middle of October also signifies the start of Ivy League play for many of the sports teams here at Harvard. Although the Crimson is diligently preparing for its most important stretch of the season, Harvard athletes have still found the time to keep us entertained through social media. So here you are: our favorite tweets from this week!

5. We start the countdown with a tweet from a former Crimson football player, sophomore Nick Allain, who still remains on our radar. And it appears that he has had a revelation.

“I know everybody feels like they sound just like the actual singer when they sing along a song but I sound just like timberlake no joke.”

Imagine where he’d be today if he didn’t choose football: “N.A. The 20/20 Experience.”

4. Destiny Nunley, a freshman forward on the women’s basketball team, is no stranger to social media…

“Nap time = lay in my bed, listen to music, creep on people on every social network possible for an hour.”

…Even if she’s not the one posting.

3. As a senior, one has to start thinking of prospective job opportunities after finishing school. John Rose, a senior on the lacrosse team, is wisely thinking ahead.

“If I was a boss anywhere my job interviews would consist of only one question: who do you play as in Mario Kart?”

Make sure to hire those who rely on the blue shell. If you ain’t first, you’re last.

2. According to recent developments, we may get to see a new look from junior forward Tommy O’Regan on the ice this year.

“Are dreadlocks a bigger commitment than marriage?”

We’ll let you decide, but needless to say, we at The Back Page are big fans of athletes making fashion statements.

1. Although the fall sports season is currently in the spotlight, the winter season is right around the corner. Crimson Madness was held at the Lavietes Pavillion Friday night, getting fans ready for the upcoming men’s basketball season. Siyani Chambers, a sophomore guard, had words for the fans that came out to support; and Cole Toner, a sophomore football player, has a prediction to make after getting his first look at the team.

“Thank you to all the fans that came out to crimson madness tonight! We appreciate the support! #teamharvard‬” –Chambers

“Don't look now, but @hoopsatharvard‬ is for real this year. Big, deep, and experienced. Im thinking at least Sweet 16” –Toner

Key words: “at least.” The season is still a few weeks away, but we’re anticipating that “Crimson Madness” in October is just foreshadowing the “Crimson Madness” that we will see in March.
