So, Princeton is the clear favorite to win the title now... xwhistlex xcoffeex

Penn at Harvard
Dartmouth at Brown
Columbia at Cornell
Yale at Princeton

[Go...gate]

I'll believe it when I see it. Yale and Dartmouth have utterly ruined numerous Tiger seasons over the years.

Maybe Dartmouth can beat the Tigers, but probably not Yale. Yale is just too beat up at all the skill positions.

Harvard
Brown
Columbia

I'll go with the obvious Dartmouth.

And I'll go against the grain on the others. Penn, Yale, Columbia.

1989 comes to mind for me. It was, I believe, the last time Yale and Princeton were both undefeated in the league when they met. Yale won 14-7. It was the last game I ever saw at Princeton. Hopefully, not forever, though.

Princeton did get a share of the title when Yale lost to Harvard the following week.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Might want to avoid the Yale - Princeton game this weekend.

Tigers Roll

[Pard4Life]

Despite us dumping all over Columbia Athletics this week, the Lions led at #2 Michigan State nearly the entire game before crumbling in the final 2-3 minutes, when the lack of big game experience and managing the shot clock was evident. And Columbia, out-rebounded MSU and frustrated them defensively. This the same MSU that beat #1 Kentucky on Tuesday.

Not so good on the floor for the Lady Lions last night, tho . . . xbawlingx The Pardettes dropped ninety-five points on them - and that was without any OT.

Looks like Princeton will claim at least a share of the title today. They're whupping Yale.

Dartmouth took care of Brown. Closer than I expected, but I'll take it.

Harvard fell asleep and let Penn back into the game after leading 38-0. Penn had the ball on Harvard's 15 when time ran out and lost 38-30. Would have tied the record for largest comeback ever in a NCAA football game.

Columbia and Cornell duking it out. First Columbia game that's been close.

Given that everyone expects Dartmouth to beat Princeton next week, it's a question of whether Harvard can claim a share of the title as well by beating Yale. Should be a good game!!

Tim Murphy called. He said it had something to do with the appearance of "parity" in the league. Plus he didn't want to have to get into a "San Diego Admission" kerfuffle.

Appearances are everything . . . .

[bulldog10jw]

Dartmouth can beat Princeton. Yale let it get away with a dumb onside kick call that Princeton ran back for a TD, and two critical turnovers when it was still close. After a bogus pass interference call against Yale, that handed Princeton a TD, it snowballed out of control.

If Dartmouth plays mistake free football, they have a very good shot.

You were right. Scores:
Princeton 59, Yale 23
Dartmouth 24, Brown 20
Harvard 38, Penn 30
Cornell 24, Columbia 9

Dartmouth will beat Princeton.

FTFY.

:)

[Bogus Megapardus]

Congrats to the Keggers. Great to see the fortitude of Dartmouth football this season.

[centraljerseycat]

Come on let's be real. Princeton will win by 30 next week. Teevens has never pulled an upset in 25 years of coaching.

[Go Green]

Teevens has never pulled an upset in 25 years of coaching.

Technically speaking, he did it today. For whatever reason, the bookies had Brown a three point favorite.

That being said, many people (including myself) expected Dartmouth to win.

[DJOM]

Its the year of the TIGER...PRINCETON wins by 30 next weekend.

[Ivytalk]

Rooting for Dartmouth to beat the Princeton Michelle Obamas next week.

But is was grad school so it really doesn't count!

WTF happened? I heard on the radio "Harvard 28-0 second quarter" and thought Ivytalk must be having his toast sandwich and eating it too...

[Go...gate]

Saw the game at Princeton today. Princeton had some lapses, but they also had some periods when they were very good. I'm not optimistic about the Tigers next week in Hanover, though. Princeton often has trouble with Dartmouth.

I hope you took a shower after the game, 'Gate. The meningitis outbreak at Ol' Nassau is harvesting the depth chart at we speak.

Harvard took its foot off the gas pedal too soon. It cost them the P'ton game last year, and it almost cost them today.

Funny you should mention that, Bogus.

The old PU grads who I have season tickets with knew about it - some of their wives even stayed home - but the old grads could have cared less. Nothing makes a Tiger fan happier than beating Yale, even in the midst of a growing meningitis problem.
