Now THAT'S a much more reasonable pick for the Lafayette game Bonrae. I could totally see it happening that way. In fact I have Lafayette winning by three. Hopefully the game lives up to the hype. Looking forward to making the trip down 93 to Cambridge to watch this one in person. Hopefully we have some classic fall weather. xthumbsupx

CORNELL over FORDHAM, as penance for the rest of the Rams' ghastly out-of-conference scheduling decisions. 14 - 10.

BROWN will rough up PRINCETON at home, ratifying that Thursday night national television debacle. 23 - 9.

HOLY CROSS will rebound from the Brown loss to handle DARTMOUTH well enough. 31 - 17.

COLUMBIA will throttle PENN. In Frank Tavani's words, the Lions are not a rebuilding team. Construction is over. They're rebuilt. 35 - 17.

YALE will conquer LEHIGH not simply because the Brown-Panted Ninnies are universally despised but because Yale is a better team - though not by much, regrettably. The Ninnies lose at home, 21 - 20.

HARVARD will maintain its winning streak over LAFAYETTE. I watched the Pards expend all that they had left in the tank to squeak by Columbia. 27 - 17.

Bogus, I would argue that wins like Lafayette's win last week fill the tank...they don't drain it.

[Green26]

Dartmouth wasn't very good to start with, but seemed to have some potential, but they are screwed now with the loss of their only good qb. Jenny disclocated his elbow in the Yale game and will presumably be out for some time. I think I heard the following stats for the backup. In his career, he had thrown 2 TD's and 6 interceptions. He threw a pick in his first throw at Yale.

I attended Lafayette during the Putnam/Russo transition, where the motto was, "There's always time to lose." It's so hard to shake that feeling. Having said that, I certainly *hope* that the Pards can bust across that massive OL in Cambridge. I'd sure enjoy seeing my prediction proved wrong.

Aren't you the dude that had the Lions beating the 'Pards by 17 too?

That is what the "lady" predicted.

That is what the "lady" predicted.

She fell on her sword quickly though and admitted she knew nothing of Lafayette football. Seems like she has a better idea now.

[Pards Rule]

Hehe - I kind of like her predictions :)

[DJOM]

Princeton bounces back. Offense puts points on board. Princeton by 14.

Is Columbia beating Penn still considered and upset at this point? Both are tough teams. If anything I think this game has to be considered a push.

I think it could happen. They are due for a break-out and Culbreath's backups look like they can handle the ballcarrying.

Yale 7, Lehigh 0
Holy Cross 34, Dartmouth 14
Penn 27, Columbia 13 (Columbia continues its slide, what's next for them? xchinscratchx)

[Pards Rule]

Bonarae - when are you going to respect the Pards?? Vegas doesnt respect them either as a 5 and a half point underdog! GO PARDS!!!

I agree.. Lafayette over Harvard cannot be considered an upset. Virtually every non-Lafayette fan picked up to lose to every Ivy, so just keep picking againt us I guess.

This flat-out sucks.xmadx Scheit, at least Bethlehem has some decent lap-dancing joints. Easton just has nice views of the Delaware water gap and recycled photos of Britney Spears' sister!
