>>> Another Classic Cornell, Princeton Football Game On Tap
Maybe just a tad misleading. The story notes the last 6, 9 of 10, and 16 of 20 previous games were decided by one TD or less. Given that we lost 44-3 to Colgate and Princeton lost 44-10, this one has the makings of a game between two closely matched teams. Plus one of the two teams will finally have a W next to its name Saturday afternoon. I'm surprised there isn't regional TV coverage given all the possibilities. I guess most of all I feel sorry for the players suffering through the season and hope they can start an upward slope soon.
Do note the graphic for this home contest shows "Game 7: [Cornell logo of sorts] at [Princeton logo]" at least as of this writing:
