Tomorrow's preview will feature the Holy Cross Crusaders. A look at Sacred Heart, the Big Green's final non-conference opponent, will be posted Saturday. The rest of the schedule:
Sunday, Aug. 12 - Brown
Monday, Aug. 13 - Columbia
Tuesday, Aug. 14 - Cornell
Wednesday, Aug. 15 - Harvard
Thursday, Aug. 16 - Penn
Friday, Aug. 17 - Princeton
Saturday, Aug. 18 - Yale
Sunday, Aug. 19 - Daily practice coverage begins.
Unfortunately, the previews will not include the usual insights and quotes from the conference coaches because of the Ivy League decision not to hold its media teleconference this year.
Speaking of which, barring a change, look for the Ivy League's official football poll, traditionally released with its media day, on Aug. 20 this year.
