This is a fantastic ticket from the 'Dartmouth Versus Harvard' college football game at Soldiers Field, 2:00 PM, Saturday, November 16, 1912. Printed by John A. Lowell Bank Note Co., Boston, MA. The reverse side is a steel engraving like on currency. It measures 6 3/4" x 2 5/8". The stubs are still attached and it is in extremely clean condition. I believe that it was a specimen from the printer.

SI has a story about Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews under the headline: Unheralded Jeff Mathews intriguing scouts in a year of star-studded QBs. From the story:The 2014 draft class will be loaded with talented senior quarterbacks like Clemson’s Tajh Boyd, Alabama’s A.J. McCarron, Georgia’s Aaron Murray and many more. But it’s the Ivy League’s Mathews who has piqued scouts’ attention headed into the 2013 college football season.
And neither (first-year head coach David) Archer nor new Cornell quarterbacks coach Shane Hurd is the least bit surprised.
“His arm strength is the best I’ve ever seen live and he makes every single throw,” Hurd says. “He’s better live — awfully good on tape, but seeing his arm strength, some of the throws he makes … it’s impressive on film but it’s real impressive live.”Hurd's comment is impressive but the doubters will tell you it would carry more weight if he came to Cornell from, say, South Carolina or Miami. He spent the last eight years as a high school coach. (link) Others will note that Hurd has coached two players who went on to the NFL, seven DI players and 31 who went on to college ball, and that he coached both in the New York-New Jersey Governor's Bowl and the Ernie Davis Senior All-Star Game.
One thing that is certain: The jury is still out for those who have only seen Mathews against Dartmouth. For all the records he has set, he's not had much success playing the Big Green.

Today was football ticket sale for rising sophomores at Penn State. We spent some time online last night making sure everything was honky dory with the required Ticketmaster account and double-checking the protocol for the sale, which started at 7 this morning. There was relief when the sale went through by 7:05 or so, and That Certain Sophomore was, well, certain his tickets were bought before they sold out. Click here to see the hoops you have to jump through at that level of football to make sure you don't get closed out – which a lot of very unhappy kids will.The race to get tickets before they sell out kind of has this feel to it:
