Another ‘last’ at Yale
Dearest readers, This is my last column for the News (tear) … ever. For this momentous occasion, I had planned to write something dramatic, provocative, new and different. Maybe even something well thought-out. But no, senioritis strikes again.
Timm: Give Yale baseball some love
“Hot soup! Soup’s hot!” “Change?” “Hum babe!” Anyone who has been to a Yale baseball game will quickly recognize these otherwise unusual phrases. After all, how could you forget hearing 30 guys yelling about the temperature of soup?
Timm: Another budget casualty
One year ago, I wrote a column about spring break for Yale athletes. I’ll say this much: going back and reading something I wrote a year ago … frightening.
Newfound love for Olympics
I’m embarrassed to say that until Saturday night, I was not an Olympics follower. During a time when many otherwise un-athletically inclined Yalies were tuning in to support our country’s best winter athletes, I, a self-proclaimed (and published) sports fan, could have cared less about the events in Vancouver.
Timm: Don’t forget Yale athletics

Timm: My first last at Yale
It came and went almost too fast to really understand. No, I’m not talking about the finale of “Dancing with the Stars.” I’m also not going to pretend I have anywhere near the pop culture knowledge of John Song, so I’m just going to cut to the chase.
Timm: Tailgate will be memorable
It’s almost here, and I can barely contain my excitement.
Timm: Support isn’t just attendance
There is a long-standing tradition at Yale when it comes to athletics. No, it’s not the fact that our football team still has the most national championships of any Division I school. No, it’s not Handsome Dan, who unfortunately has seemed to be replaced lately by an overly muscular, costumed human counterpart. No, it’s definitely not the fight songs. (Did you know there are six?)
Timm: Yale field hockey’s newest fan
As an athlete growing up in Texas, I thought I had tried almost every sport there was before deciding on softball.
Timm: Yale must be a team
In light of the recent events on campus, I couldn’t find it in myself to write my usual light-hearted musings on Yale sports. It just didn’t feel right.
