Ivy League Week 9 2016

[bonarae]

Sorry for this being a bit late. As I have said in the Score Thread last week, I have no personal laptop available ATM.

Can the Ivy race be decided as early as next week? Or can the Ivy title be only decided the last week of our season? xchinscratchx

Harvard at Penn
Brown at Dartmouth
Princeton at Yale
Cornell at Columbia - I'd go with the tough-luck loser.

[Ivytalk]

It is possible for Harvard to clinch an outright Ivy title next week if the Crimson beat Penn and Yale upsets Princeton.

Not gonna happen. Instead, there will be a 3-way tie with one week to go.

Harvard has lived a charmed life the past 3 weeks, with an OT win at Princeton and wins over Dartmouth and Columbia by a combined 9 points. Penn takes care of business at Franklin Field, which has always been a tough place for the Crimson to win.

Princeton is probably the best team in the league right now. They will handle Yale in New Haven by two scores.

Columbia will win the New York Super Bowl over Cornell, which is swirling down the toilet bowl of Ivy irrelevance.

Dartmouth will beat Brown at home, before the Big Green try to get into Princeton's heads (again) the following week.

I would be very surprised if Yale stays that close to Princeton.

What time periods was he talking about? Or was he talking about his entire career?

[bulldog10jw]

What time periods was he talking about? Or was he talking about his entire career?

Probably the 60's. Or at least up until 1968. Princeton was considered even more obnoxious than Yale in the 50's and 60's

[Go Green]

Princeton was considered even more obnoxious than Yale in the 50's and 60's

IMHO, they still are. :)

Well, he certainly succeeded. Save a few years, the Eli absolutely dominated the Tigers, including fourteen in a row from '67 - '80.

Some of the best teams the Tiger ever had, and they were that good.

[bulldog10jw]

Princeton didn't even play that well, gave Yale every opportunity to stay in the game, and wins by 4 TD's.

[World]

Since the Harvard overtime loss, Princeton has now won its last three game by:


110-10


not bad

not bad at all

You were right and I was wrong. Princeton did not play a perfect game but was really in control.

[bonarae]

All final scores:
Penn 27, Harvard 14 - Crimson free-falling at the wrong time... are we now critical of Murphy? xchinscratchx
Brown 24, Dartmouth 21 - Are the Big Green one of the most disappointed FCS teams of 2016?
Princeton 31, Yale 3 - Orange and Black in position to share the title.
Cornell 42, Columbia 40 - Wow. A very close game.

Hard to criticize 5-1

[Go Lehigh TU owl]

Lehigh better get credit for their wins over Penn and Princeton. Both are darn good this year....

[Ivytalk]

I hate it when I'm right. Harvard has had more turnovers than the Pillsbury dough boy. Gave up two TDs off turnovers last night. Hideous loss.
