Game of the Century! Here. We. Go!

I am calling this game the Norwalk Materials Bowl.

For those that watch The Good Place, the character Brent Norwalk attended Princeton. The actor who plays him, Ben Koldyke, played QB at Dartmouth.

In a separate article, Feinstein also rips the Ivy presidents (deservedly so) for not allowing the Ivy teams to particiapte in the playoffs.

Can't open without a subscription...too bad. I'm liking the Big Green in this one. I'd give anything to be there. Will it be telecast?

[Sader87]

ESPNU I believe...3:30 kickoff.

Curious what kind of crowd they get....I think HC-Fordham had something like 23K a few years ago...the 150th of LU-LC sold-out about 5 years ago.

Great opportunity for both teams and their fan bases to play and watch a game at Yankee Stadium.

ESPN has been plugging this game all week. The Ivies reach is still extremely significant by FCS standards. You knpw the network wants them in the playoffs!

Wow, that was the only other significant active winning streak. It finishes up at 17 wins, tied for 15th in FCS history.

We saw what Colgates vaunted defense did against NDSU last year. IMO Dartmouth would probably look very similar against NDSU. They'd get thumped!

they might as well, probably only a handful of teams better than Dartmouth at the FCS level

Maybe, maybe not. NDSU has thumped plenty of Top 10/5 teams in the past. I tend to think this year's Dartmouth team (and last year's Princeton team) is better than the 'Gate team that visited the Fargo Dome. Based on the last 8 years I just want to see someone else take their shot. I know no one in the MVFC can really challenge NDSU when it matters. I really believe the Ivies have the horses to at least give me reason to believe they can MAYBE hang with NDSU and JMU for 60 minutes.

maybe, but the lead up to the game would be so much fun .... Dartmouth D is better than last year Colgate brand

I'd love to see Dartmouth play NDSU---in Hanover!!!:D

[POD Knows]

I'd love to see Dartmouth play NDSU---in Hanover!!!:DI think a home and home with a few of the top Ivy teams would be awesome, they would never do it of course, but it would be cool.
