IN PRINT: The roar of the crowd…
Sunday, 20 March 2011

The band calls them “the hecklers”: two students who go to as many home men’s basketball games as the plaid-clad band itself does — which is to say, all of them. They stand, dressed in orange and black, at the front of the student section in Jadwin Gym, armed with a megaphone and a cruel

NCAA Tournament(s) Preview!
Thursday, 17 March 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
Now that you’ve watched Doug Davis’ shot from a dozen different angles (instruct me in the Douglas!) and contemplated the cool name of Ian Hummer ’13 (objective view: fairly cool, but nothing to write home about), it’s time to get serious. NIT? Thanks, but no thanks. CBI? Don’t call us, we’ll call you. We’re talking

Tigers Appear in ESPN Polls, Have Cool Names
Wednesday, 16 March 2011

Rarely, if ever, does a Princeton athlete command the attention of the entire nation. Doug Davis ’12 now has that distinct honor — The Shot snagged a well-deserved top spot on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10. It also appeared online in a SportsNation poll versus some bicycle kick thing by some soccer bloke: Sadly, The Shot

Various Perspectives on “The Shot”
Monday, 14 March 2011
by Giri Nathan
More than a day has passed and I still find myself watching and re-watching Doug Davis’s buzzer-beater in some kind of enraptured tigerblooded trance. I quickly tired of the original version, though, and hungered for more. Fortunately the Internets are very good at indulging this kind of inane curiosity; tons of alternate angles cropped up

A list of reasons why it’s good to be Princetonian right now: 1.) Midterms are over. 2.) Spring break is upon us. 3.) Our basketball men just beat Harvard 63-62 to win a bid to the NCAA Tournament!! A snapshot of the Tiger blood gushing all over Facebook: And a personal favorite: Enough said. UPDATE:

If you’re sticking around Princeton for Spring Break, or at least for this weekend, you’re in luck. Shops and restaurants all around town are lowering their prices to celebrate Pi Day Princeton, a celebration of Einstein and all things geeky. In other words, now is the time to hit up Blue Point Grill, where the

Eating Club Exposé

by Lauren Zumbach
Go to the Princeton University homepage, and check out the video feature. Pinch yourself, and look again. No, that’s not a midterms week sleep deprivation-induced hallucination – the eating clubs really are front and center on Princeton’s homepage. The story accompanying the video says it’s meant to improve communication about the clubs and give prospective

Princeton’s Rival? This Season, Look No Further Than Harvard
Thursday, 10 March 2011
by Spencer Gaffney
Classic Ivy League sports debate that no one actually plans on answering: Who is Princeton’s rival? Some Tiger fans cling firmly to the geographical convenience of the supposed Penn-Princeton rivalry. Back in 2006, a columnist from the Daily Pennsylvanian noted that the rival stems almost exclusively from the two schools’ dominance of Ivy League basketball. But

Be a Tiger, Somewhat More Literally
Tuesday, 08 March 2011
by Giri Nathan
My inbox is fairly uneventful. It’s not too often that official-looking University email addresses pose questions to me in the form of caps-locked, declarative statements, so this afternoon’s missive was worthy of a double-take. “DO YOU WANT TO BE THE PRINCETON TIGER!” read the subject line. I didn’t, but I was also curious. Fortunately the

Calling all math nerds, Pi lovers and Einstein devotees! If you’re staying on campus for spring break (so near and yet so painfully far), don’t miss out on the second year of a recently birthed Princeton tradition: Pi Day. Mimi Omicienski of the Princeton Tour Company dreamed up this celebration of all things geeky last
