At the beginning of the year, with Restic needing just five victories to reach the century mark, the answer was yes. The only question was when. Would the Crimson win five straight to start the season? Or would Harvard, like last year, fall to Holy Cross and have to give Restic his golden 100 against Brown?

Restic now has 96 victories. Harvard needs to win its last four games to give him the big 100.

Is Harvard the oldest college in America?

That's why you came here, right? The 350 years of tradition.

Did it ever occur to you, as it has suddenly to me, that someone may not be telling the truth. Perhaps Harvard was founded in 1736 or even 1836. How would we know? We weren't there.

Will Harvard beat Brown today?

Sure, sure, sure.

But, please, don't ask me to bet on it.

Is the world round?

That was the old thinking.

But now, now I'm not so sure. Perhaps it's shaped liked a football--which would explain why it's wobbling out of control.

Harvard hosts Brown at The Stadium today at 1:30 p.m. (WHRB, 95.3 FM).
