Alex Bloom | Philly Phodder

I spoke too soon last week by declaring my certainty that the team would make the playoffs.

No break for Bacow

Attendees at this weekend's Homecoming might have noticed that University President Lawrence Bacow attended the festivities with his left arm in a sling. But have no fear, Jumbos. The president didn't take a tumble, but underwent some shoulder surgery. "I had a bone spur removed from my shoulder on Friday late afternoon," Bacow told the Daily in an e-mail message.

The procedure won't be tripping up his chances for the 2007 Boston Marathon, however. "I should be able to resume running in about two weeks," Bacow wrote. "It should not affect my marathon training." -James Bologna
