Dick Jauron '73, the All-American Yale running back who became a pro football star before earning AP Coach of the Year honors as an NFL head coach, is about to enter the College Football Hall of Fame. Induction for the class of 2015 takes place Dec. 8, at the 58th NFF Annual Awards Dinner in New York City's historic Waldorf Astoria. Yale honors Jauron Saturday between the first and second quarters.

He killed us in The Game in '72.

Congrats to Jauron on a wonderful career! Well-deserved honor!

And anyone who wants to see Go Green get honored, I'll be walking onto the field (with the rest of my teammates) at halftime at Memorial Field for the 25th anniversary of the 1990 championship team! :)

Very much looking forward to seeing the guys again and celebrating another Ivy title with a victory over Princeton!!!!

Jauron was a hell of a football player.

And Go Green, I was in Palmer Stadium that snowy, rainy November Saturday in '90 when Dartmouth pounded the Tigers for the Ivy title. That was a very fine Indian/Big Green club.

Congrats to you and your teammates. Not sure if I ever saw you play. I attended every Yale game, home and away from 1974 through 1989. In 1990 I moved to Arizona so, unless you played against Yale in 1989, I guess I missed seeing Go Green in his glory days.

I played in the D-Y freshman game then. You guys beat us. Only time I lost to the Elis.

Off the top of my head, I don't even remember the Yale-Dartmouth varsity game in '89, never mind the Freshman.

I assume Yale won since they shared the title with Princeton. Lost to Harvard though. I wonder if Carm would have retired gracefully if Yale had beaten Harvard in '89.

More on Dick Jauron

http://portal31nhr.blogspot.com/2015/11/highlighting-dick-jauron.html

To paint a picture of just how elusive Dick Jauron was, legendary Yale coach Carm Cozza always tells people they could spend 20 minutes in a phone booth with him and never touch him.


The Bulldogs running back weaved his way through opposing defenses for 2,947 yards over three seasons, a school record at the time. He earned All-Ivy and All-American honors each year and the 1972 Ivy League Player of the Year award along the way.

The all time record. Despite their domination this century, it will still be 7 years before Harvard catches up in the series

The Game 2015: An introduction

[BucBisonAtLarge]

As a kid growing up in a local Connecticut football household in the early 70's, Dick Jauron is one of those names that stands out. He was such a big deal in the local media. Yale football was a big deal. It is great to see him being honored.

The Yale and Harvard football teams play each other for the 132nd time this Saturday (Nov. 21st) at the Yale Bowl in New Haven. It is always a unique spectacle, from the pre-game and post-game traffic jams, to tailgaters in the parking lots, and to large crowds assembled in the Bowl or Harvard Stadium.

But, please, it is not “Thee Game”.

[Go...gate]

God, I'm getting old. I saw Jauron play in person. He was a hell of a football player.

http://bostinno.streetwise.co/2015/11/20/harvard-yale-online-stream-college-football-tv-contracts-had-history-with-ivy-league/On Saturday, two local college football teams will have games shown on NBC Sports Network. Notre Dame and Boston College will notably play the first football game at Fenway since 1968. And Harvard visits Yale for the 132nd installment of its classic rivalry. (And for those trying to watch an online stream of Harvard-Yale, try the Ivy League Digital Network (http://www.ivyleaguedigitalnetwork.com/), which provides a pathway.) Of course, while the two schools will be equals in the eyes of television for a day, the reality is that Crimson football is much less visible than the Eagles are on a yearly basis. The gap is rooted in a basic distinction: Boston College is part of the "Football Bowl Subdivision," while Harvard is a member of the "Football Championship Subdivision."

What position GoGreen?

Linebacker.

Probably before your time, but I was on the sidelines for the D-L game in 1991 and was right there when we caught a long bomb late in the game, but the ref ruled our receiver landed out of bounds. Replays were inconclusive. I actually started arguing with the official before one of the Dartmouth coaches grabbed me by the horse collar and threw me backwards so he could do the arguing himself.

Ah well!

NEW YORK, N.Y. – "If you were in a phone booth with him for 20 minutes, you still couldn't catch him," said Yale's Hall of Fame football coach Carm Cozza about his former All-America running back Dick Jauron '73, who last night joined his coach in the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.

How did these guys get so old, yet I stayed so young? xnodx

I'm a huge Bears fan. There's a name I haven't heard in a loooong time.
