I'm a Slimeball For Another Weekend

No Sense, Wurf

In case you're colorblind, Cornell clearly crested in the Colgate game. Lafayette will take aim and brush off the Red.

HOLY CROSS 17, DARTMOUTH 16--The Big Green hasn't won a non-league game since 1977.

Since then, the Hanoverians have posted a 0-19-1 mark outside of the Ivy League. You can bet that if Joe Yukica cared about anything beyond the Ancient Eight title, the Green wouldn't be going for lucky number 21.

The Cross isn't going to be the first, and may not be the last to beat Dartmouth, as the Green faces powerful Colgate next weekend.

WILLIAM & MARY 19, HARVARD 10--The Crimson got a 57-year head start on America's second-oldest college.

That's a pretty big chip on the large shoulders of the Tribe, which already has to live with the fact that nobody can spell Coach Jimmye Laycock's name.

William & Mary goes into the contest ranked fifth in the country in Division I-AA; Harvard is 16th.

The Crimson defense is ready to slow down the Tribe, but the offense, for all of its talent and pre-season billing, has yet to come together. If fullback Robert Santiago and quarterback Brian White can get back on track, the Crimson could pull an upset.

The Tribe, which last played Harvard in 1981, has come on a long road trip to prove that those 50 years don't mean much.

Sure, John Harvard never made it to Cambridge, but William and Mary never made it to Williamsburg, either.

They know we were founded in 1636, they know that we have a bigger library and they know that we won the Civil War, so don't be surprised if they try to take a little piece of Harvard home with them.
