Fetty has brought his crew — nicknamed the Remy Boyz because of their affection for the cognac Remy Martin 1738 — from the streets of Patterson to the top of hip-hop. Unlike a lot of rappers who come from the bottom, he has not forgot about his friends or sold out during his meteoric rise. The album feels less like a Fetty Wap record and more like a statement from the entire Remy Boyz crew that they have arrived. Fetty’s allegiance to his Patterson buddies bears a lot of resemblance to that of anoth- er summer smash, the “Entourage” movie. Monty is the Eric Murphy (Kevin Connolly) to Fetty’s Vince Chase (Adrian Grenier), while Mike Goon, the Remy Boyz hypeman, and Big L, Fetty’s DJ, fill the roles of Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon), respectively. The Patterson crew is a bit bigger than the fictional gang from New York, but the sentiment is the same.

Key to the success of this philosophy for United is the integration of Daley Blind into the back line. While the Phil Jones- Chris Smalling partnership worked as United qualified for the Champions League, United lacked someone who could play out from the center of defense, arguably the first phase of United’s attack. Blind adds a different element by allowing the team to look for the short option playing out from the back, or hit it long more accurately to split open opposing defenses. This was evi- denced when Blind marauded forward and found Rooney leading up to the first goal against Ipswich and when Blind assisted on Memphis’ strike against PSV. It effec- tively allows players like Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera, as well as Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mordan Schneiderlin, to have more influence with their pass- ing abilities further up the field to advance United’s attack, as their manager would like to call it, in the second and third phases. To the United fans clamoring for the return to the old ways, get used to this new way of United domination. Not as swash- buckling as Fergie’s teams of old, but by the looks of it, effective enough.

MEN’S TENNIS Success in singles but disappointing doubles showing for Jumbos by Maddie Payne Contributing Writer

On Friday, sophomore Rohan Gupte advanced to the quarterfinals of the 2015 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Regional Singles Championship held at Williams, beating opponents from Clark University, Colby-Sawyer College and Middlebury. Gupte won his first two matches easily, with scores of 6-2, 6-3 against first-year Alex Wright of Colby-Sawyer College and 6-1, 6-0 against senior Fernando Pinoargote of Clark University. On Saturday, he clinched a third vic- tory in three sets with a score of 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 against Middlebury sophomore Timo van der Geest, progressing to the quarterfinals. Gupte was defeated in the quarterfinals by first-year Alex Cauneac of MIT. Despite being able to take the second set against Cauneac, he eventu- ally lost 6-1, 3-6, 6-4. “I felt like I played a solid game; I served strongly, and I hit all my ground- strokes pretty well,” Gupte said. “You just can’t prejudge an opponent before he walks on the court.” Gupte’s performance did not escape the attention of coach Karl Gregor. The eventual winner of the tournament, Middlebury sophomore Noah Farrell, had lost to Gupte last year, which makes Gregor confident that Gupte can contend with top competitors in the NESCAC.
