Section 118 here. Of course I've seen Cornell 3 times this year, and they lost all 3 games. So if anyone wants to bribe me to stay home...

At 20-4-1, that's actually pretty damn impressive. I don't want to figure out what the random odds of that are, but... they are low.

(25X24x23)/(3x2x1)=2300 combinations of three games over all. (4x3x2)/(3x2x1)=4 combinations of losses. So, the chance of seeing three losses is 4/2300 or 1/575.

Wow indeed.
Meanwhile, I've seen Cornell play 24 times, and I'm 23-0-1
(Then again, our home record has been quite impressive the last couple years...)

Random? Unfortunate, yes, but everyone in Estero saw two of the losses. Going to one more game that we lost (do you live near Dartmouth or Colgate, Peter?) is just depressing.

OK, I'm reading this thread - and had to relay a story since few others can appreciate this.
EVERY college football game I have ever attended in my life *that wasn't on a press pass* has ended in a regulation tie. 5 of them. Hard to believe, but I swear it is true. Anyone want to calculate the odds of that?
They are:
1. Ithaca at Wagner, 1988 NCAA playoffs (I attended just about every other IC football game in my subsequent 3 years, but all as a member of the student media - and none ended in a tie)
2. Michigan State at Syracuse, 1990
3. Notre Dame at USC (a free ticket, courtesy of the Princeton hockey team, but not a press pass)
4. someone-or-another at Augustana (Ill.), 1997
5. Princeton at Cornell (1999 I believe, or maybe earlier - first ever Ivy League OT game - someone else will surely remember the details)

Way back in 1996 - final score 33-27, in double-overtime. Not just the first overtime game in Ivy football history, but the first overtime in college football history. Chad Levitt had a great rushing game, IIRC.

I'll be there on Saturday, business travel allowing. I have Section 106, Row A, Seats 1 and 2.
I am A&LS '86.
I am also trying to get Princeton tickets and have put the tickets for the Friday ECAC Semis out as trade material. If anyone can help let me know. On the other hand if someone desparately wants the tickest to the semis, I wouldn't mind seeing them get into the hands of "the right kind of fan" (as in Red Fan), regardless of the Princeton tickets.
Thanks.

Right you are. My wife and I drove up from NJ for that game. It may have been an early-season Homecoming, but I'm not sure. Levitt single-handedly chewed up the Princeton defense in OT. FWIW, I'm disappointed that he didn't get to play much in the NFL.

Shame he got hurt the way he did, and just before he would've broken Marinaro's record too. I don't think he really had the same jump after that, unfortunately.

I was at the Columbia game when Levitt got hurt. I was telling my parents that we were going to see a school record broken. Of course he wasn't having a particularly good game, so it might not have happened anyway, but it was very depressing to watch him leave the field with his arm in a sling.
As for whether he "had the same jump" after his injury, on what do you base the claim that he didn't? He didn't play another game at Cornell after he got hurt, and the Raiders thought enough of his minicamp performance to trade up for him in '97. He got some playing time his first year, but after Joe Bugel got fired, Gruden used a 3d round pick on a fullback (Jon Ritchie) and that was the end of Levitt's career with the Raiders. He got to look at a cup of coffee with the Rams in '99 (on the roster, but didn't play) and that was that.
I can't see what the elbow injury had to do with the length of his career. I think he was a great Ivy Leaguer, and a 4th rounder that just didn't make it in the NFL.

Wow, my mistake, I was way off base. I could've sworn he had a knee injury. To be honest, I got awfully drunk on the way home from that game, so that may explain why my memory is a little hazy.
