Princeton Revisited

Princeton highlights courtesy of Dartmouth sports publicity:



Although he didn't seem all that eager to begin the snowy drive back to New Jersey when we said so long for another year, Jay Greenberg did his usual terrific job in his Princeton Football blog writeup of Saturday's game.
Sitting on their buses after doing their part by beating Yale, Harvard players were following the Dartmouth-Princeton game on their phones. In a traffic jam when the result from Hanover was final, they spilled out of the buses and celebrated. The Boston Herald reports.
Princeton had another bonfire for sweeping Harvard and Yale. Dartmouth has had a way of putting a damper on this thing of late although the wind and the PC police did their part also. Check out the video and the story.
Well, the Ivy League will be on the outside looking in when the NCAA playoffs begin this week. Believe it or not, Butler will host Tennessee State. Sacred Heart will travel to Fordham and old friend New Hampshire will entertain surprising Lafayette. Find the playoff schedule and some analysis on The Sports Network site.
