Drew Faust, Football Fanatic?
As an adopted Bostonian, University President Drew G. Faust is, of course, a diehard Pats fan. And like her fellow New Englanders, she seems to still be recovering from last weekâs heartbreaking loss to Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. Brutal. Us too, President Faust. (Just kiddingâwe donât care about sports unless itâs Harvard-Yale).
So with the Super Bowl approaching, Flyby went knocking on Mass Hall to ask some hard-hitting questions. But most importantly: who was she going to root for on Sunday?
âThe Patriots,â she said, forlorn.
While Superbowl L (why does the NFL think itâs important enough for Roman numerals?) might not be her ideal matchup, Faust joked that she knew the Patriots were not, in fact, playing on Sunday. Flyby was grateful for this clarificationâarenât the Patriots in the Super Bowl every year? What is a âdeflategateâ? Isn't Tom Brady, like, mayor?
Faust did give her two cents on the gameâcome Sunday, she says sheâll be looking out for the Panthers.
âIâm actually curious because I havenât watched the Panthers play and theyâre supposed to be really good, and so Iâm curious how good theyâre going to be. Weâll see,â Faust said.
