Ivy League Week 9 2011

[bonarae]

My record heading into this week: 29-15

Yale at Princeton
Penn at Harvard
Dartmouth at Brown
Columbia at Cornell

[Ivytalk]

Yale over Princeton. The Tigers could save Surace's job with a win in their big game, but they won't.
Harvard over Penn. Crimson clinch a tie for the Ivies and knock Penn State-Philly out of the race.
Brown over Dartmouth. But this might be closer than you think.
Cornell over Columbia. Even a Yanks-Mets subway series has more drama than this.

You think Surace is in trouble?

You think Surace is in trouble?

Yep. You don't? This program is going nowhere fast.

Princeton - Yale will play better next week than they will this week, but won't win either game

Harvard - it's not like they have to worry about looking ahead

Brown - If Dartmouth can run the ball they have a shot

Columbia - last chance for the Lions to win

Bulldog, should we put you on suicide watch? Picking P'ton over Yale?xeekxxconfusedx

You think Surace is in trouble?

I don't see it. Princeton may not be as tolerant as Georgetown was when it comes to coach's records, but they're not going to pull the cord after two years.

With the exception of the late Ron Rogerson, every Princeton coach since WWII has had at least four years to build the program.

Harvard and Brown both win, but I'd take the dogs plus the points in each.

Princeton will make a game of it, but Yale will win, 31-27.
Penn's defense will keep them in the game, but the Johnnies O still too much, 27-20.
Dartmouth gets steamrolled in Providence, 35-14.
Columbia might win this at home, but I think the Big Red hold off the Powder Blues, 27-24.

Wow, I'd take the 'pards and the 9 1/2. Should be a close game.

With Harvard's 37-20 thumping of Penn and Dartmouth's stunning upset of Brown, Harvard is the Ivy champion for 2011!!xbowxxbowxxbowxxthumbsupxxthumbsupxxsmileycl apxxsmileyclapxxsmileyclapxxbeerchugxxbeerchugxxbe erchugxxhypedxxhypedxxhypedxxhurrayxxhurrayxxhurra yxxhurrayx

Cornell 62, Columbia 41. Ouch! And Columbia actually led at the half!

[Harvard Worship]

Wasn't expecting the Brown result, but it's nice not to have anything riding on THE GAME except, of course, THE GAME. Hope it's a good one (or, barring that, a good one at least from our perspective).
