Ivy League Week 3

[bonarae]

Last week's record: 6-0 (Wow! xbowx)
This year's record thus far: 10-4

Slate this week:
Friday:
Holy Cross at Harvard - no questions asked. Holy Cross is now 0-3.
Saturday:
Colgate at Yale - Colgate has played close last week, narrowly losing to Stony Brook.
Penn at Dartmouth - is Penn experiencing a rare downfall of its own now? Is it about time for new blood at Penn?
Princeton at Columbia - xchinscratchx
Brown at Georgetown - Maybe yes, maybe no... Georgetown has fallen too after a quick successful 2-0 start.
Cornell at Bucknell - see Holy Cross at Harvard; Bucknell can't quite compete.

I think I'd take HC plus the points with that spread, although I pick Harvard to win by 10 or so. I also like Cornell minus the points at Bucknell. And the bookies are as bored with Columbia-Princeton as everyone else except DJOM and Babar!

[Bogus Megapardus]

Holy Cross at Harvard - The Crusaders aren't playing up to their talent. Treavor Scales might be unstoppable. Harvard 27-20.

Colgate at Yale - I'm going by how I saw Elihu & Co. perform up in Ithaca. Colgate 24-16.

Penn at Dartmouth - Al Bagnoli will be honing a Seppuku blade if he can't Quake the Keggers. Penn 21-17.

Princeton at Columbia - Tigers are saving it all for the Leopards. xrolleyesx Columbia 17-14.

Brown at Georgetown - Hoyas will come out flat due to QB injuries. Brown 28-24.

Cornell at Bucknell - Jeff Matthews probably could challenge any FCS team. Cornell 31-24.

[DJOM]

I am not bored with Princeton....I stay interested to see how they will grasp defeat from the jaws of victory.

FINAL: Harvard 52, Holy Cross 3. As expected.

Looking forward to tomorrow...

Penn is kicking the suds out of Keggy - 20-0 at the half. This game is on NBC Sports.

Princeton is all over Columbia, 17-3....

I was going to "Game Thread" this too, but figured it wasn't worth it.

I'm watching this game. Looks nice in HD.

It does... and so does Michie Stadium on CBSSN.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Someone changed the tap and Keggy is right back in it - Penn 20, Dartmouth 14. 9:00 mins left in the game.

[Green26]

Dartmouth making a comeback. 20-14 Penn with 9 to go. Dartmouth has forced Penn to punt all 4 possessions in second half. Penn has the kickoff on the 25. Where did this Dartmouth defense come from this half.

I'm watching. Good luck.

[Green26]

Crap. How did 91 for Dartmouth miss the tackle at the line of scrimmage, on the 51 yard td. Refs missed hold on d-end on previous 3rd down play, allow Penn qb to get outside and make first down. Too many first half mistakes by Dartmouth.

[bulldog10jw]

Sorry. I must have jinxed you.

[Bogus Megapardus]

Penn 28 Keggy 14 with 5:50 left.

Ragone make a wild scramble but finally hits his target for a 2-pont conversion after a long rushing TD for Penn.

[Green26]

Like I said, Dartmouth's first half mistakes and failure to catch the ball in critical situations put them in the big hole. How's Yale this year?

Not good. Very young, but decent offense, bad defense.

Princeton 27 Columbia 6 - midway through the 4th quarter

Beginning of the 3rd

[Pard4Life]

Brownies 20-10, early 3rd.

Brown is taking it to the Hoyas, 34-10, late in the 4th....

[Bogus Megapardus]

Final - Brown 37-10 over Georgetown

[bonarae]

ALL FINAL SCORES:
Harvard 52, Holy Cross 3 - The Crimson are seriously in the running this year.
Penn 28, Dartmouth 21 - I got it wrong again. Some Ivy teams are like Jekyll and Hyde: they are weak OOC but show their full potential in the Ivy.
Colgate 47, Yale 24 - Yale may finish dead last this year. Reno may not last long.
Princeton 33, Columbia 6 - My predictions went futile here, not considering that Princeton played close in their two losses preceding this.
Brown 37, Georgetown 10 - As expected.
Cornell 15, Bucknell 10 - Something's amiss with the Big Red in this game. Will the Harvard-Cornell game next week expect this kind of so close a score?
