Any Given Saturday has a link to three videos making fun of the largest football stadiums in each state as well as what it considers the worst college stadiums at any level. It's pretty sophomoric stuff with some significant factual errors, and no, I didn't waste my morning watching them. I did, however, fast-forward to see if there was anything of interest in them. And yup, the Ivy League and Dartmouth opponents are featured prominently.In VIDEO 1 of the worst stadiums in the country Brown gets the first mention at the 1:50 mark. Marist shows up at 4:05 and Holy Cross at 8:20.
In VIDEO 2 Jacksonville gets roasted at the 3:26 mark.
VIDEO 3 is simply taking shots at the largest stadium in each state. Yale Bowl is at the 3:27 mark, Dartmouth's Memorial Field at 13:32 and Brown Stadium at 18:10.
(I wondered what they would do for Vermont and they punted, showing UVM's Centennial Field, a baseball stadium, because the school no longer plays football. There are three DIII fields in the state that mercifully were overlooked.)
