Ivy League Week 5 - 2014

[bonarae]

Last OOC week...

Colgate at Yale - 'Gate escaped Princeton, but Yale choked at home against Dartmouth.
Lafayette at Harvard
Columbia at Penn - tough game to call, but Bagnoli will leave the field for good (at the end of the season) as a sorry loser.
Holy Cross at Dartmouth
Lehigh at Cornell - I'm not sure what drives Cornell these days...
Brown at Princeton - same for Princeton, they've really struggled this year...

Yale
Harvard
Penn (although I hope I'm wrong)
Dartmouth
Lehigh (NOBODY should pay to see this game)
Princeton

Yale - I think Yale bounces back. They didn't play that badly today
Harvard - not a gimme, though
Columbia - please let these guys win a game this year (just not against Yale)
Dartmouth - also not a gimme
Lehigh - but a Cornell win would not shock me
Brown - Princeton is spinning down the drain, hopefully

[Pards Rule]

Haha just loving Al's final season Ivy! This is great! And holy cow Nebrich of Fordham TORCHED Penn for a record-against 566 yards in the air and they rolled up 737 yards against the Quakers!! Although I'm no fan of the Rams with their reported behavior during last week's game.

[Go Green]

Dartmouth was a 17 point favorite over Holy Cross last year... and lost.

We *should* win this time, though. Dartmouth will want payback, and it's our homecoming.

Some Dartmouth starters were hurt against Yale yesterday. Hope they are ok for Holy Cross, but I can easily see them sitting out for a nonconference opponent.

[Crimson Dad Leopard Grad]

Colgate at Yale Eli lost a tough one to a good Dartmouth team but come back strong at home

Lafayette at Harvard Closer than would appear due to erratic Harvard O

Columbia at Penn He may go 1-9 but won't lose to Columbia

Holy Cross at Dartmouth Big Green too tough at home

Lehigh at Cornell Comparative scores indicate Lehigh can score more (67 vs 20 combined points against Yale and Bucknell)

Brown at Princeton Home field advantage

[PAllen]

Yale with home field
Harvard easily
Penn (come on, it's Columbia)
Dartmouth with the home field
Cornell (it is Lehigh 2014 after all)
Princeton in a rout

Are you the father of a current Harvard student?

Are you the father of a current Harvard student?

Yes, this is the only week I root against Lafayette

[Ivytalk]

Yes, this is the only week I root against Lafayette

For that emotional sacrifice, Dad, make sure he/she goes to the game!

[Crimson Dad Leopard Grad]

For that emotional sacrifice, Dad, make sure he/she goes to the game!

Yale and Colgate have been playing football against each other for over 100 years.

All Final Scores:
Harvard 24, Lafayette 14
Penn 31, Columbia 7 - the Lions are the Savannah State of the Ivy League, as they have been for the past few seasons.
Yale 45, Colgate 31 - the Elis' groove has come back.
Dartmouth 24, Holy Cross 21 - the Crusaders' miseries continue...
Lehigh 31, Cornell 14
Princeton 27, Brown 16

[Go Green]

Dartmouth 24, Holy Cross 21 - the Crusaders' miseries continue...


No disrespect to HC, but it shouldn't have been that close. It was 24-6 in the middle of the fourth. Kudos to the Crusaders for roaring back, but that's the type of thing that will cost Dartmouth votes...

Great to get the win, though.
