I agree with most of these picks, but I'll take Dartmouth over Penn in an upset special. Did I ever mention that I hate Penn?

Bonus question: how many in attendance at the Harvard-Georgetown game at RFK? All those political movers and shakers... makes me cringe. Anyhow, I'll guess 18,000 will show up at that old dump.

[The Pud]

Dartmouth vs Penn looks like an intriguing matchup. Will this game be broadcast anywhere?

Yes. The game is on NBC Sports Network. Friday at 7:00

Same, except I pick Dartmouth over Penn. Dartmouth's strong defense will be too much for Penn's inexperienced QB. They aren't Lehigh or Ohio Dominican.

I think it will be less as Georgetown has virtually no chance of winning this game, or even playing competitively. My guess is 12,000.

The majority of the people who do attend will be rooting for Hav-vad.

[Go Green]

but I'll take Dartmouth over Penn in an upset special.

We will see in a few days, but I think Dartmouth will be favored. Even if we are not, the line should be pretty close.

While we were playing Appy, GSU et al y'all were playing le high and one another. So congrats on that I guess?

Your whole league is Div 2...Maybe NAIA. How the hell do we know, you only play patsies other then yourself.

So are you saying that Newberry, the 42nd ranked Div II school that The Citadel played this year and has been playing all along is not a lowly ranked Div II school?

We are. Newberry, PC, and the defending FBS Natl Champs is a pretty good one.

You lost me at Newberry, whose 2016 schedule contained the likes of Tusculum, Mars Hill, and Brevard.

You got a cherry-condition AMC Pacer for me, Knob?

It's too bad you are an ignorant person. Those are three FINE schools. Not surprised YOU would come over here to defend the ivy. The patsy league basically allows itself to be turned over and done dry by them each season. At least the patsy takes part in the playoffs so that others can get a turn...

They may be fine schools, but frankly, a progam with the tradition of The Citadel should be playing better opponents. I would much rather see the Citadel against West Point, against Coastal, even against even Arkansas (for those that remember that pivotal moment in I-AA history) than Newberry.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newberry_College

And to be fair, Georgetown should aim much higher than the likes of its schedule, too.

Big win for Dartmouth. Congrats!

You'll have to excuse citdog considering that when teams lose to The Citadel, they say "how could we lose to a second-rate service academy based in South Carolina?"

Your anti Southern bigotry is duly noted. It is obvious that the 72 in your username refers to your IQ.

[KPSUL]

Then you don't pay attention much. Not suprising since you went to yale.

Since you insist that everyone should capitalize the "T" in "The Citadel", it would only be appropriate for a southern gentleman like yourself to capitalize the first letter of the proper noun, "Yale".

No, it refers to that Ford Pinto you sold him. CHIP is a smart dude.

[Son of Eli]

Good game going on right now. Dartmouth 10- Penn 10 4Q.

Game on NBCSN

So which of the 53 genders are you? When will the time be right to remove the NAZIS you honor? When will you admit that a LARGE percentage of your endowment was made on the SLAVE TRADE? Aren't there MORE mottos and such you can cave on??? The ONLY good thing about your pantywaist douchenozzle school is that General Robert E. Lee thought enough of it to send Rooney there. It isn't like you are Yale or anything who produced John C. Calhoun....

[Son of Eli]

Penn 13- Dartmouth 10 4Q

[citdog]

BAD football like this is HARD to watch. There isn't a SINGLE player on EITHER team that could starton a SoCon, CAA, Big Sky, or MVFC team. When will y'all quit pretending and just go to DIII where you belong?????

[Son of Eli]

4th and inches. They should go for the win.

[Son of Eli]

Dartmouth wins on last play of the game, 16-13. That's Ivy League football!

Ivy League is 9-2 against OOC Division I opponents this year, including wins over a top 25 FCS ranked team and the defending Patriot and Pioneer League Champions. Plus we don't play Division III, but The Citadel does play Division II.

Let ALL of us know when you ****s GROW A PAIR... Until then you should QUIT pretending to field ACTUAL DIVISION I football teams. YOU DO NOT field those type of teams,... DII at best and you KNOW it that's why you don't participate.

[KPSUL]

We've been through this Ivy vs the rest of FCS football thing too many times already. Since their schedules are so insular, it is really impossible to make an accurate comparison so why bother? They play the number of games they do and choose not to participate in the playoffs - how the rest of us feel about that really doesn't matter. As far as the quality of their players, it's simply not true to say none of them could play elsewhere in FCS. Many of those guys were actively recruited by other FCS teams, and more than a few had FBS offers as well. However, none of this kept me from enjoying a very competitive game between Dartmouth and Penn tonight and being a Granite Stater, happy with the outcome.

Why does anyone ever respond to anything that citdog ever says? He cannot be bargained with, or reasoned with, and will stop at nothing. How do you 'beat' the troll? Do not engage. You watch his mouth move. Then turn your head away. You ignore it. You laugh at it. Anytime citdog posts something derogatory, post a 🙂 or a photo of cute puppy dogs playing fetch. Because that's all he deserves.
