The stage is set
So much for Princeton-Yale being The New Game.
Although the Tigers spent three quarters trying to prove that they still mattered, the Bulldogs (9-0, 6-0 Ivy) left New Jersey with a 27-6 victory Saturday, setting up an epic showdown with Harvard (7-2, 6-0) next week for the Ivy League championship.
For the first time since 1968, both Harvard and Yale will enter The Game undefeated in conference play.
The Tigers (3-6, 2-4) had the chance to deny the Elis an outright Ivy League title for the second straight season, but the Bulldogs avenged their only loss in the past...
Interesting how the Blue always get pumped up towards the end of the season after they've piled on their uncompetitive opponents, harboring delusive thoughts of running out the string against Harvard. But once again, as the cold November dusks settles on the Bowl, the losing side will yet again look across the field at the dancing Harvards, wondering how all those dreams evaporated so quickly. I've been to every H-Y game since 1960, and am smug and confident about the outcome in 2007. There really isn't anything I like about Yale, except that it does bring at least a superficial sense of culture to New Haven.
