Of Brown And Green And The Silver Screen

HANOVER -- It would be one thing to make a big play Saturday and have it end up on the 2006 Dartmouth highlight reel.

But this is something else.

Make a notable play against Brown and it could end up immortalized on the silver screen.

Seriously.

Setting up shop in Hanover Friday and Saturday is a crew shooting footage for "For Love And Honor," a feature-length documentary film on Ivy League football. Based on Mark Bernstein's book, Football: The Ivy League Origins of an Obsession, the film is being directed by Erik Greenberg Anjou, a former Middlebury College football player and award-winning filmmaker.

I have a trailer made for "For Love And Honor" and it is nothing short of terrific. ... The crack that former Yale (and Dallas Cowboy) great Calvin Hill made about Harvard had me laughing aloud. ... I've spent time talking football and the Ivy League with Erik Anjou over the past couple of months, sat with him throughout the Columbia game and am impressed by the heart -- and the art -- he is putting into this project. ... Keep an eye out for this film in 2007. If the trailer is any indication of what's to come, anyone who visits this site often won't want to miss it.
