Dartmouth beats Penn 31-13 and no one is giving us a chance against Yale?

Yale has too much offensive firepower, averaging more than 40 points per game.

Well, you obviously do, Mr. Hanover Homer.:p

Picking a team to win is vastly different than saying they have no chance. I don't think anyone would be surprised if Dartmouth won next week.

Like bonarae said, hard game to pick. Both Yale and Dartmouth crushed 0-3 teams. Who knows what will happen. It's just a guess and in my case, a homer pick.

Penn's cupboard appears to be empty.

I see Cornell at Harvard is on Fox College Sports today.

I wonder how the announcers will spin that mismatch to try and make it interesting.

[bulldog10jw]

Harvard and Cornell are scoreless at the half. I guess no spin is required.

I see our QB has thrown 2 picks. Cornell could bite us in the azz yet. Rain in Cambridge.

Good call on Dartmouth/Yale. I won my bet with a former Yale player. I refused to take points. Straight up is what I wanted, and the Big Green delivered.

Ugly win for Harvard today. You don't win many games when you turn it over 5 times to your opponent's one. But we'll take it and move on.

Yale's own fault. Had lots of chances in the 2nd half and couldn't convert. Credit to Dartmouth.

Final Scores:

Brown 27, Holy Cross 24 2OT
Colgate 31, Princeton 30 - Surace is having a long year with quality opponents...
Fordham 60, Penn 22 - the Ivy bottom-feeders = SWAC bottom-feeders?
Harvard 24, Cornell 7 - the score was that low?
Monmouth 61, Columbia 28 - Dave195 did not see the ending.
Dartmouth 38, Yale 31 - another undefeated goes down the drain.

Bulldog, I could just feel your teeth grind with that last sentence.

Unfortunately, IT, I have learned to lose gracefully over the last few years.

I worry and think more about my retirement accounts now than I do football games. ;)
