Ivy Week 10

[Ivytalk]

Yale over Brown by 10: Bruins looking good recently, but they've met their Peter Principle now. Dawgs just too strong. Call it 24-14 for the Eli.

Harvard over Columbia by 13: Harvard consistently scores in the high 20s, so I'll say 27-14. A speed-bump on the way to November 17.

Penn over Princeton by 5: Which Quaker team shows up this week? The one that gave Yale all it could handle, or the one that folded to Brown like a cheap tent in a Sahara simoom? I say Penn, 21-16.

Dartmouth over Cornell by 7: Buddy Teevens gets the Green up for New York Hotel/Restaurant by 28-21.

Yale 35 Brown 24

Harvard 30 Columbia 10

Penn 22 Princeton 19 - (5 overtimes. Neither team scores in the first 4 then a Penn walk-on added to the team this week drop kicks the winner in OT# 5)

Dartmouth 27 Cornell 24- (Dartmouth scores on a 5th down with 10 seconds left. When the mistake is discovered Cornell says "remember 1940 when we gave back the victory". Dartmouth says "it's 2007...screw you".)

Yale/Brown: Yale by 13
Harvard/Columbia: Harvard by 14
Penn/Princeton: Penn by 3 (close, should be really close)
Dartmouth/Cornell: Dartmouth by 2 or 3 (another close game)

[VT Wildcat Fan53]

Yale/Brown: Yale, 24-17. Estes' crew makes it closer than expected with a motivated effort on defense.

Harvard/Columbia: Harvard 52-14. Murph's men are on a roll and the Lions are defenseless, ....

Penn/Princeton: Princeton 14-13. A toss-up, but the Tigers pull it out late with points off an ill-timed turnover.

Dartmouth/Cornell: Dartmouth 45-14. Buddy has turned the corner with the Big Green and it shows in an offensive explosion vs SUNY-Ithaca. Dartmouth fans can hardly wait for 2008 to arrive, ....

I think Brown is going to give Yale a battle, as they always do. Yale has been a little sluggish the last two weeks and Brown is coming off a solid win over Penn, a team Yale struggled to beat the week before.

I could see a 28-24 type game at the Bowl, hopefully with Yale winning.

Brown at Yale: Yale 35-28

Harvard at Columbia: Harvard 28-7

Princeton at Penn: Penn 17-14

Cornell at Dartmouth: Dartmouth 20-17

Did anyone else go to the Yale-Brown game today? If you did, what were your thoughts on the Yale fumble that got returned by Brown for a TD, but got called back as incomplete. I thought (from my angle) that the ball definitely slipped out the back of his hand and would have been a fumble.

Other than that, I would say Mike McLeod looked really impressive. On a sunny day, he could have gotten 250 or 300 yards on us (he still got 182). This would have given Yale a lot more points. Today, Yale must have gone inside the Brown 25 yard line about five or six times in the first half, and they only got 3 points off all of that. Brown was lucky that it stayed that close.

I was there. From my angle, from below the press box, I thought it was clearly a fumble.

However, in the fourth quarter, there was a similar play that went against Yale, so in the end it evened out.

Personally, I thought the officials did a terrible job today. Lots of missed calls.

The zebras at Columbia were so bad that they made the MEAC refs look good. Harvard was called for a phantom pass interference, a phantom facemask and an illegal formation penalty that I still can't figure out. The refs cost Harvard 8 points and gave Columbia 6.xsmhx
