The Biggest Game...

Filed in archive Campus Life by Greg Cruey on November 15, 2007

In about 40 hours or so, the biggest football game of the year will be played. It's not the BCS's national title match-up. It's the Harvard-Yale game. And this year the two teams play for the Ivy League title, since neither has lost a conference game...

Harvard has two losses - to Holy Cross and to Lehigh, both in the Patriot League conference. Harvard beat Brown this year by a touchdown; Yale beat Brown by 10 points. Harvard also beat Dartmouth by a touchdown; Yale beat Dartmouth by 40 points. Harvard's biggest margin of victory was against Cornell, whom they beat by 17 points; Yale beat Cornell by 39 points. I don't have any money on the game; but if I did, my money would be on Yale this year.

The Yale-Harvard game is as much about the T-shirtlinks that memorialize the game as about anything else. Ivy Gate Blog ran a story a few weeks back about Harvard's game shirts (and how bad the blog reckoned they were this year). I kind of like the one about "Yale" being a four letter word. But what do I know; I applied to Cornell back when I first started looking at grad school - and being rejected by them sums up my Ivy League experience.

The blog on the game shirts now has almost 40 comments tacked on.

The Ivy Gate Blog says that the only thing lamer than Harvard's game shirts are the emails that Yale has sent out about the Harvard game shirt. Harvard voted online for their favorite shirts. Some Yalies decided to become involved and tried to get other Yalies to vote at the Harvard site for the worst shirt...

Alums from the two schools cooperate well enough to organize a telecast of the game. The game is at Yale this year - noon on Saturday, November 17.
