Check It Out

Before getting to the regular highlights from Saturday, do check out Patrick Campbell's interception and return Saturday. It's not quite Saquon Barkley leapfrogging a potential tackler backward, but his hurdle is something to see:

Now for the regular highlights (and lowlights):

#

As of this morning, I haven't seen anything about the game in our local daily (or in The Dartmouth for that matter). The Cornell Sun has a story HERE.

#

Be sure to visit BGA Overtime this evening for a Six Pack analysis and notes from the game at Cornell (and the game story if you missed it).

#

Curious how Harvard managed to come from behind to clinch a share of the title with help from a "relief pitcher" and an "untried rookie kicker" who hadn't attempted a field goal in his career? Harvard Magazine has the story HERE.

While the Crimson was claiming at least a piece of the Ivy League title Saturday, Columbia was not just staying alive in the championship race, but as the Roar Lions 2024 blog notes, was guaranteeing . . .

. . .  "its fifth winning season in the last seven seasons. Before this run, the Lions only had three winning seasons in the previous 46 years."

EXTRA POINT
Given the choice, I'll take a banana that's a little on the green side over one on the brown side seven days a week. But for as annoying as I find it when the things start to over-ripen, it's not all bad. Can you say banana bread?
