No Regrets: A Gridder With Only Fond Memories

FOOTBALL'S SPENCER NEUMANN

Though the Crimson still lost, 21-20, Neumann recalls that game fondly.

"It was one of the best feelings to be beating Army during that game. Even though we lost, we came off the field with a lot of pride," he says.

Neumann lights up when he recalls those few moments of football glory. Beating Yale in New Haven, Conn. his sophomore year (when he was not a starter). A fourth-and-goal stand in the Crimson's 5-3 victory over Dartmouth his junior year.

Of course, a few painful memories remain especially this year's loss at Cornell and the 31-31 tie against eventual Ivy champion Dartmouth.

"I've lost a lot of sleep during and after the season saying what if," Neumann concedes.

But characteristically, he downplays those recollections.

He's looking to the future. He will spend the next three years working for Disney in California.

And he's looking back. With no regrets. Well, almost none.

"I'd like to think that if I did it over again, And, pausing, he smiles and quips, "I would have liked a championship ring."
