Yale at Cornell Football

[TimV]

Two guys, I guess.  Ondash on O, Watson-Lewis on D

Is Chat available?  People will get tired of our BS.

Awfully impressive start. Much better on both lines than against Fordham. Hagy played very little last week for some reason. Kid looks legit.

[Al DeFlorio]

All three Yale stops caused by dropped passes (two, admittedly, after hard hits).

The game is on TV.. NBC Sports (nee Versus).

Thanks for the heads up!

Crowd looks great.

35-0. We this good, or Yale that bad?

Here's to some Davy-in-3 in the second half!

[TimV]

I think we're that good.  2 TDs off turnovers, but D has shaped up, and there's no question about the O.

And there's a running game...at last.::banana::

One concern is the place kicker is shaky. Could bite us in a close game

[TimV]

Keecker?  Keecker???  We don' need no steenkin keecker!

[Jordan 04]

Well, this Yale coach sure seems like a real jerk.  Emptying his timeouts down 40 points with 40 seconds left.

[TimV]

Sounds like Tampa Bay sending their guys against the Giants on the kneel-down play.  "Just trying to change team culture.  Would like to avoid another rout by Harvard this year."

New pants are gray.  Don't like em.

I had the Harvard @ Brown game on (game 2 of NBC sports IVY League doubleheader) and what is the deal with Harvard's gold pants? No style points from me on those. ugh.

Harvard's been wearing those as long as I can remember...and that's a long time.::bolt::

... what is the deal with Harvard's gold pants? No style points from me on those. ugh.

It's another attempt at throwback cool.  Long ago, even before Al was a young boy, football pants were made of canvas and were a natural khaki color.  Harvard wore tan pants at least since the 60's in a nod to those days.  When shiny silky synthetics evolved, the canvas look disappeared.

Al had suggested our gray pants were a retro look back to the Tom Harp era of 1961-65.  If they really wanted to replicate that look, the players would wear the jerseys from last year with the shoulder hoops, todays gray pants, plain white helmets, and the dour facial expressions of teams whose best season was 5-4.
