Munching with Max: Choose your own adventure

By Max Druckman | September 16

Normally, after long gaps between columns, I would begin with a mildly humorous, sarcastic comment — most likely featuring a sports reference — to kick off another semester of munching. Instead, as there is serious business to discuss (that business being pizza), I will begin with some direct answers. I have no further time to dispense for pleasantries. Yes, I did study abroad. No, I did not write this column while doing so. Yes, I did eat while doing so. No, I am not starting as quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons next week (there’s your sports reference).

Men’s soccer kicks off title defense

By Max Druckman | September 8

There are a few moments in sports history that are so memorable that every fan can pinpoint where they were when it happened. Bobby Thomson’s shot heard ‘round the world, Malcolm Butler’s goal-line interception in Super Bowl XLIX and, for Tufts fans, Xavier Canfin’s overtime goal that crowned the Jumbos men’s soccer team as 2025 National Champions, their fifth such Division III crown.

Munching with Max: The midnight ride

By Max Druckman | November 20

Once the clocks “fall back” during the first weekend in November, there are very few things that can get me out of the house at night. Darkness descends at 4 p.m., and a dreary, frigid air engulfs Medford, greatly diminishing my aptitude for external munching.

Women’s soccer claims first NESCAC championship in 23 years

By Max Druckman | November 13

The phrase ‘better late than never’ is often used and usually rings true. Still, those four words don’t account for the rollercoaster of emotions that completing a task before ‘never’ brings. The Tufts women’s soccer team experienced this rollercoaster twice this past weekend, as they scored a late goal to beat Colby and a late equalizer that yielded a penalty shootout win over Williams to claim the 2025 NESCAC crown.

Munching with Max: Second chances

By Max Druckman | November 5

We all make mistakes. Whether it be hitting your 5-year-old brother in the face with a pitch or smashing your side-view mirror into your friend’s mailbox, sometimes, we just mess up. (Don’t ask me where I came up with those examples.)

Men’s soccer trounces Emerson on Senior Day

By Max Druckman | October 29

When the Class of 2026 first took the field for the Tufts men’s soccer team, the world was a vastly different place. ChatGPT was not yet released, Queen Elizabeth II was still the monarch of the United Kingdom and Luka Dončić was still a Dallas Maverick. Despite all the turmoil, one constant has remained across the last four years — the Jumbos have continued to win soccer matches.

Munching with Max: Learning to strike out

By Max Druckman | October 27

Those of you who know me will understand that the 50% of my brain not occupied by food is concentrated on baseball (I know, scientists have already asked to study it). Most of the time, this arrangement isn’t productive — thinking about Trader Joe’s Buffalo Chicken Dip doesn’t help me when staring down a 3–2 count. Other times though, my dual thought processes can be fruitful.

Tufts falls to Bates on Homecoming night

By Max Druckman | October 16

“It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.” It may be a cliché, but that designation doesn’t make it any less true. Bates’ football team certainly found themselves following Yogi Berra’s words of wisdom as they stormed back to score twice in the fourth quarter and steal a Homecoming victory from Tufts.
