As classes end and finals begin at Harvard, it is the tradition of Harvard Radio to present their Orgy season, blocks of programming devoted to one theme. WHRB Sports contributes to this with our own Crimson Sports Orgy, presented every year during the winter and spring. In the winter, we featured a Harvard basketball doubleheader. In the spring, however, without a sport to frame the program around, we instead will provide four hours of original content from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Some of the features of our Crimson Sports Orgy (all times approximate):
- Harvard Headlines (11:00 a.m.)
Just like on Crimson Sportstalk, we will take a look around all of Harvard's varsity sports to see how they did this past week.
- An Interview with Harvard Athletics Director Bob Scalise (11:10 a.m.)
Get a chance to hear a State of the Crimson interview, as Harvard Athletics Director Bob Scalise chatted with WHRB about various topics in the world of Harvard athletics.
- Season Wrap-ups (11:30 a.m.)
As the spring season comes to an end, we will take a look at the seasons for the men's and women's lacrosse teams, the baseball team, and the softball team.
- 2010 Awards Show (12:00 p.m.)
A new and exciting feature to the WHRB Sports Orgy, we will present 15 Awards ranging across various categories of Harvard sports. Categories include Male and Female Players of the Year, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, and Team of the Year.
- Season Previews (12:45 p.m.)
The department eagerly awaits, along with all other Harvard sports fans, the beginning of the 2010 fall and the 2010-11 winter seasons. We'll have a look at football, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's hockey, and men's and women's basketball.
- Harvard Alumni in the NFL (1:50 p.m.)
This segment features several beat writers for professional football teams with recent Harvard alumni on them, as we look to see how past Crimson players fare in the pros.
- Kicking a Touchdown (2:00 p.m.)
Kicking a Touchdown, our football halftime show which debuted this year, will have its last episode of the season. The show will be a nice send-off for Senior Patrick Long, Kicker for the Harvard football team, and serve as a transition as we introduce next year's host.
- Sports Talk Radio (2:20 p.m.)
Our two graduating department members, football play by play man Alasdair Wilkins, and men's hockey play by play man Tom Brennan will jump into the booth and discuss some of the lighter topics surrounding Harvard sports. Topics could range from black jerseys for various teams, what team would be a good fit for ECAC Hockey, or looking at if the Ivy League should join in the talks of expanding conferences.
Then starting at 3 p.m., our Crimson Sports Orgy will transition over to the critically-acclaimed men's hockey intermission feature, Top Shelf, as we become the only show bold enough to bring the players off the ice and into drive time. Featuring this year's co-hosts, Senior Alex Biega, Junior Kyle Richter, and WHRB's Tom Brennan, Top Shelf is now in it's 7th season. Tune in to hear about Alex's recent vacation to Mexico, meet Al and Kyle's roommate, and find out about the future both of Top Shelf and our soon-to-be-graduating hosts, Alex and Tom. Don't forget to stay tuned in to the end for an emotional "Stick Salutes" as Alex and Tom give their final farewells as Top Shelf regulars.

Harvard Headlines- Mid-Week Edition
It's been a while since our last Blog version of the Harvard Headlines but it's a busy day for the Crimson, and there's plenty of information about the Crimson across the Web, so today seemed like the best day to change that. With that in mind, here we go.
Ivan Maisel has a new ESPN column about a similarity between Harvard and Yale- both teams have (or will have in the case of the Crimson) quarterbacks on their depth chart who went from the BCS to the Ivy League. The article compares Patrick Witt (younger brother of former Harvard QB Jeff Witt), who transferred from Nebraska to the Elis, with Andrew Hatch, who transferred from LSU back to the Johnnies.
The article is worth the read just to again prove what many already know if they follow Harvard sports- that head coach Tim Murphy is a class act. Murphy kept in contact with Hatch after he originally left Harvard, and even sent a congratulatory note to Hatch after his first career start and win over Appalachian State. [ESPN]
The weekly Ivy League teleconference occurred yesterday. Coach Phil Estes of Brown spoke of the emphasis his team put on the kicking game this week after an effort at Stony Brook saw them miss an extra point, the game winning field goal, in addition to poor coverage on kickoffs resulting in good field position. Speaking about Harvard's offense, Coach Estes spoke positively of Collier Winters' ability to elude the pass rush, and says his team cannot solely focus on containing Winters because Harvard can run and throw the ball as well. [Ivy League Sports]
Harvard head coach Tim Murphy also fielded some questions, including the difficulties of preparing for a Friday night game and about the Brown game being a rivalry game.
Coach Murphy had this to say about the nature of the rivalry between Harvard and Brown.
Moving off the gridiron and on to the ice, recent Harvard alumnus and last year's co-captain and co-host of Top Shelf, Jimmy Fraser, was mentioned in the Providence Journal as someone who had made an impression on the Baby Bruins' coach Rob Murray during the first day of training camp. Fraser will have an opportunity tonight to continue to impress coach Murray as Providence starts their preseason against Springfield in Marlboro. [Providence Journal]
Staying on the ice, the ECAC held its women's hockey coaches' teleconference yesterday, at the end of which the ECAC revealed the coaches' season predictions and the preseason All-Conference Team. Harvard received three first place votes and 103 points total for second place in the coaches' poll behind St. Lawrence University. Goaltender Christina Kessler was named to the All-Conference Team. [GoCrimson]
Midweek Games of the Week
The field hockey (3-1) team looks to get back to their winning ways with another trip to the Nutmeg State as they face the undefeated no. 5 UCONN Huskies (7-0) tonight in Storrs, CT. Last time out, the Crimson gave up a hat trick to Yale's Ashley McCauley during a 4 goal Eli first half, before rallying with three unanswered goals in the second half. The Crimson offense has scored 15 goals so far this season.
Meanwhile, the undefeated no. 6 men's soccer team (5-0) have their second of a four game road trip as they face the New Hampshire Wildcats (2-3-1) this afternoon. The Crimson started the road trip with a 4-1 win over Fairfield. The Crimson are trying to match their best start to a season since 2007.

Coach Murphy had this to say about the nature of the rivalry between Harvard and Brown.
Every game with us is a "rivalry" game. I get this question every week. Our big rival is obviously Yale and traditionally Princeton as well. We've got a bull's-eye on our front and our back as well... Whoever wants to call us a rival is fine with us.[GoCrimson]

Busy Second Weekend for Harvard Sports
The field hockey team (2-0), fresh off their second consecutive 4-1 victory, this time over UC Davis in Amherst, has their home opener on Saturday when they face Bryant at 12pm at Jordan Field.
The women's soccer team (1-1-1) is at Ohiri Field as part of a Friday soccer doubleheader. The Crimson take on their second California-based opponent, Long Beach State before travelling to New York on Sunday to face the Hofstra Pride at 1pm. Harvard is coming off a 1-0 win at home against New Hampshire.
The women's volleyball team (2-2) is at the Mizuno Invitational at Rice University in Houston this weekend, where they will take on no. 23 Wichita State, Rice, and South Carolina. The Crimson lost on Tuesday to Connecticut 3-2.
Men's water polo (0-3) is at the Princeton Invitational this weekend to face George Washington, no. 11 Princeton, no. 16 Santa Clara, and Fordham.
The Harvard football team travels to New Hampshire to face Dartmouth in a preseason game on Friday.
Game of the Weekend
The game of the weekend will be Harvard's attempt to claim bragging rights as the top soccer team in Boston when the men (2-0) take on the 14th ranked Boston University Terriers. This is Harvard's second battle with cross-town rivals this week, as the Crimson downed the BC Eagles 2-0 on Monday. Harvard will be looking for some measure of revenge against a program that beat them 5-1 last year on the road. The Crimson look to keep a seven game home undefeated streak alive and to claim Beantown bragging rights as part of the Friday doubleheader at Ohiri Field. Kick-off is scheduled for 4pm.
The men's soccer team is also in action on Sunday versus Army at 1pm, the last home game at Ohiri Field for them until an October 7th class against the Holy Cross Crusaders.
Football Opponents in Action This Weekend
Ivy League- None
Non-Conference Opponents
Holy Cross (1-0, 1-0) is at home to take on the Sacred Cross Pioneers (0-1, 0-0) in a non-conference matchup. Harvard travels to Worcester next weekend as the last game in Holy Cross' three game home stand.
The Lafayette Leopards (0-0, 0-0) get their season underway as they face conference opponent Georgetown (0-1, 0-1) in Washington, D.C. The Hoyas lead Holy Cross going into the fourth quarter last week but lost after two unanswered touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
The Lehigh Mountain Hawks (0-1, 0-0) don't need to travel too far for their road game as they face the Villanova Wildcats (1-0, 0-0) of the CAA in Philadelphia. The Mountain Hawks lost a non-conference game to Central Connecticut State last week, while Villanova came off an upset of Philadelphia rival and Division I-A opponent Temple, a 27-24 win to claim the first ever Mayor's Cup.

"Labor Day Derby" Headlines Exciting Weekday Action
There's plenty of Crimson Sports going on this week as the fall seasons continue.
The women's soccer (0-1-1) team faces New Hampshire (1-2) tomorrow at 3pm at Ohiri Field. The Crimson are hoping to build on their nine game home undefeated streak. Harvard has beaten the Wildcats 10 out of the last 11 times they have played, including a 1-0 victory on the road last year.
The field hockey team is in Amherst, Massachusetts on Wednesday for a neutral site game against the UC Davis Aggies.
The women's volleyball team ends its four game homestand on Tuesday when they take on the Connecticut Huskies at 7pm at the MAC.
The biggest action of the week will be the "Labor Day Derby" as the Harvard Crimson (1-0) travel to Newton to face the Boston College Eagles (1-1) in a 5pm soccer clash today. I'm headed off to watch the game, so hopefully, I'll have good news to report later.
Weekend Results
The field hockey team got off to a good start with a 4-1 win over the Holy Cross Crusaders in Worcester. Junior Chloe Keating grabbed two goals and an assist.

Rebirth of a Blog
As you may have noticed if you’ve been following this blog, we haven’t updated it in over a year. Which is really rather odd considering we’ve been advertising it on the radio for the past year, so we’re changing things around. This blog is going to be making a comeback worth visiting as a source for Harvard Crimson news and analysis.
Since it’s been a long time, you may have forgotten who exactly we are as bloggers. We are the students from the radio station 95.3 FM WHRB in Cambridge, MA, an independently owned, student-run operation. WHRB stands for Harvard Radio Broadcasting, so as may be expected, the students on the air are Harvard students. Specifically, WHRB Sports is a department at the radio station, and we provide season long coverage of Harvard Crimson football and men’s hockey, as well as select women’s hockey, men’s and women’s basketball, and baseball games. WHRB is the radio station where you can find The Game, the annual men’s Beanpot, the women’s Beanpot, and the Baseball Beanpot.
As far as our plans for the blog, we’ll be discussing them when we all get to campus in about a week or so, but for now, it includes being a place that collects all the news for the various sports at Harvard, particularly men’s football and hockey. To that end, at least a few of us that contribute on-air will be contributing to the blog- I’ll eventually badger them into introducing themselves, at least briefly, on here. While we work on getting this blog back into running order, please enjoy some of our classic interviews that can be found on the right side of the page. Also, I’ll make a bigger announcement about this later, but you can also follow WHRB Sports on Twitter, and of course, on the air, on 95.3 FM in the Boston area, or online anywhere in the world at WHRB.org.
Thanks for sticking with us,
The WHRB Sports Dept.
