Ivy League 2011 Week 7

[bonarae]

Record heading into this week: 23-13

Yale at Columbia - the Lions have gone into hibernation.
Penn at Brown - should be close?
Cornell at Princeton
Dartmouth at Harvard - the Crimson are way too unstoppable.

[Ivytalk]

Yale: the Eli have to right the ship
Brown: the Bears need this one to stay in the Ivy race
Princeton: both teams can score, but neither has a D, so I pick the home team
Harvard: night game streak continues

[bulldog10jw]

Yale - but if Columbia wins, I'm in favor of cancelling the rest of the season
Penn - put up or shut up time for the Bruins. I think they will shut up
Cornell - Princeton is up one week, down the next. This is a down week
Harvard - a night game? Brrrrrrrrrrrr !

[carney2]

Yale at Columbia - The Lions lost to Princeton. 'nuf said.
Penn at Brown - Will the real Ben Franklin please stand up.
Cornell at Princeton - I already ranked on Princeton, but one more time: Tigger stinks!
Dartmouth at Harvard - Wouldn't The Johns just love to have that Holy Cross game back? They'd be looking really special without that.

[ngineer]

Lions appear to swirling, as usual. Eli, 42-10
Brown need this 'big time' to leap into the upper echelon of the IL. Motivated Bruins win in a tight one, 27-24.
Cornell aint good, but Princeton's worse. Big Red stay in the pink, 35-27.
Big Green going to the Johns and get dumped in the Yard, 45-17.

[DJOM]

Yale
Brown - will be a close game
Princeton---they finally found their offense in a losing effort last weekend
Harvard

[Bogus Megapardus]

Yale at Columbia - The key to success against Yale is to rattle Witt but I don't think that the Lions have the pass rush to do it. Yale 27-14

Dartmouth at Harvard - Cantabs should roll through to the title. Harvard 38-17

Penn at Brown - Brown is the new Penn. Brown 31-20

Cornell at Princeton - Did Princeton finally show some life? Home upset special. Princeton 31-28

[ivyisaweed]

Yale should handle the baby blue in a solid rebound game 31-17

Dartmouth actually matches up well now that Princeton exposed that you can run against the Crimson- Dartmouth 28-21

Brown is hungry to stay in the race- This will be a battle royale- Brown 27- 24

Cornell's passing game will eventually out score Princeton- should be a high scoring game- Cornell 38-28

[Pard4Life]

An entertaining read... Columbia's chances of victory the rest of the year:

Brown 2 %
Cornell 6 %
Harvard 1 %
Yale 10 %

I'm not understanding the lines on Penn, last week, or this week.

Last week's game against Yale was a pick 'em game, despite the fact that Penn was at home and should clearly have been favored.

Now, Brown is favored by 9 ? This line should be no worse than Brown giving 3 for home field. Very strange, IMO.

Yale (big)
Brown
Cornell
Harvard (closer than you think)

[bulldog10jw]

Rumor on the Ivy Sports website has it that 3 Brown starters have been suspended for today's game against Penn.

No info on exactly who they are.

The cheering over the Penn loss made me wonder: I've been lurking on these boards for a couple of football seasons, and I've never seen anyone posting from Penn, or any other non-Big Three ivy schools (or, it at least occurs so infrequently that I don't remember). What gives?

There have been posters from Brown and Cornell the last couple of years, but I haven't seen them this year and Green26 from Dartmouth posts occasionally. I remember a poster from Penn way back when I first joined, but they disappeared quickly.

I've never seen anyone post from Columbia, probably for obvious reasons.

The only purported Penn poster in the last two years has been unmasked as a fraud: a UD poster yanking my chains!
