2018 Schedules

[Son of Eli]

Has this contract been dropped? It has HC and Yale playing a 12 game series from 2017-2028.

I wouldn't be surprised if Holy Cross backed out after considering their 4-27 lifetime record versus Yale.

It is an amazingly, almost improbable, poor record.....no other school has close to a one-sided advantage against HC...particularly against FCS opponents.

In our defense, much of the poor record against Yale can be rationalized away in that Yale dominated the early part of the series when they were one of the titans of college football and the two schools didn't play often in what can be termed "HC's golden era of football" from the 1930s through the 1950s:

One of the best games I've ever seen in person was the 1981 HC-Yale game....the Eli eking out a 29-28 W at Fitton. Hope the series continues on in some fashion.

I too hope the series is resumed. I wasn't at the '81 game but I listened to it on the radio. It was indeed a great game. Here's a highlight of that game's MVP Rich Diana scoring a touchdown. He ended up finishing 10th in the Heisman Trophy voting that year.

I was there. My only visit to Fitton. It was a great game between two very good teams. I'm looking forward to another visit during the series coming up.
