I'm not surprised, the Yale Harvard game hasn't been "The Game" to
anyone not somehow connected to either school for about 80 years.

was The game. Then I learned about Purdue- Norte Dame. And Michigan-Michigan
State is right up there. So Harvard-Yale didn’t immediately come to mind. Sorry!

PJ, I enjoyed these. During my high school years I was an usher at the Yale
Bowl, on the visitors’ side, 40th yard line or so. The crowd was more hostile
than on the Yale side, but the tips were better, especially in wet weather (for
which I was prepared with a towel to wipe the seats). Those were the days of
Brian Dowling as QB and Calvin Hill as FB.
I’m no longer a football fan, and even though I’m on the Penn faculty I feel no
particular loyalty. Still, I enjoyed the pics!

If you have to ask what game, well there's just no hope for you...
OK, so it's the Yale Harvard football classic, the one that was killing and
maiming so many of America's best and brightest around of the turn of the 20th
Century, that President Theodore Roosevelt felt obliged to mediate, and thus
the modern sport of Football, (American, and it's Younger Canadian brother),
was born.
So no one cares and the Ivy league hasn't been the cutting edge of Football
since sometime in the 1930's, but Yale and Harvard still take it seriously.
For the rest of us it's a good excuse for a cookout in miserable cold fall
weather, often rainy or like this year threatening to rain anyway.
The last few years have been disappointing for Yale fans but this year, Yale
handed the Harvard team their heads after bouncing them down the field a bit.
I took almost 200 images but rather than bore everyone I've put together a
representative sample of what happened with great regularity and a couple of
shots of tailgaters having way too much fun, for probably the wrong reasons.
