From the Daily Pennsylvanian:As it is April first, two Ivy newspapers, the Brown Daily Herald and The Cornell Daily Sun, had April Fools issues today. So here are their joke sports stories for the day.
Brown only has one sports article, and it’s about how bad Brown sports are/why they didn’t cover all of the school’s winter sports. Why they’re writing about winter sports in April is besides me. And while the headline might read “Winter sports: Blah freaking blah,” I was really thinking: “Daily Herald: Blah freaking blah”
Meanwhile, the Daily Sun “switched” to an all-twitter format. So I can’t link to any of their articles online. However, here’s the backpage of their issue today (HT CBB).
The lead story is that Ryan Wittman was accosted for physically attacking a freshmen who cut in front of him in a dining hall (making fun of Wittman’s elbow against Missouri in the NCAA tournament). While not hilariously written, it’s still a funny concept (at least compared to Brown’s article).
The other back page story was that the NCAA couldn’t find Bemidji State (the school that just beat Cornell in the ice hockey Elite Eight). Hence, they were banned from the Frozen Four. However, Cornell did not take their place, instead another obscure Minnesota school, Everest Institue, will “compete.”
As for the DP’s joke issue. Well you’ll just have to wait and see.
