"We're definitely sitting well and we've got a lot of confidence," Harvard linebacker Joe Gordian said. "We just have to bounce back for the Ivy game next week."
No TV cameras, no "Hi, Mom!" and no television station banners on the sidelines this week. Just two teams with undefeated league records and first place at stake. * * *
You Were Right, John: Kudos to Harvard Sports Information Director John Veneziano, who was right on with his Ivy League predictions this week. "The Ivy teams might not win a game tomorrow," Veneziano said Friday.
Sure enough, while Dartmouth did give number-three New Hampshire a scare, running up a 14-0 first quarter lead, the Big Green had to hold on for a 21-21 tie to be the only Ivy team not to lose in action last week.
Hapless Columbia and Brown fell to Lehigh and Fordham, respectively. Princeton got thumped by Ivy-killer Colgate, and Penn lost to Lafayette.
Even the league favorites were pummelled. Yale, playing without QB Darin Kehler, got crushed by previously winless UConn, 44-7, and Cornell was spiked by the Bucknell Bison.
Aside from the Harvard-Cornell game for the league lead, the only other Ivy Leagueaction this week is a last-place battle betweenBrown and Princeton in New Jersey. The entireleague returns to Ivy-only action in two weeks,when the Crimson travels to Princeton on Head ofthe Charles weekend.
Lawbreakers: The entrance to the FittonField parking lot clearly stated, "No kegsallowed."
Of course, those round silver things with tapsattached to them and with beer flowing out of themwere not kegs.
Would you believe...they were beer cansbombarded with an accidental dose of radiation?
No. Well then, would you believe...they wereactually misplaced water coolers with Gatorade inthem for the football players?
No. Well then, would you believe...that Harvardhas a lot to learn from Holy Cross in terms oftailgating prowess
