Week Eight

Things that happen for your team when things are going great, and against your team when things are going poorly:



Harvard 31, Columbia 14

Leading just 7-0 after the first quarter, the Crimson scored three touchdowns in the second quarter, and a field goal in the third to move in front 31-0 before the Lions closed out the scoring with a pair of fourth-quarter TDs.


Jaden Craig threw for 213 yards and two touchdowns, and Xaviah Bascon ran for 94 yards and two touchdowns for Harvard, now 8-0 and 5-0 in the Ivy League. Chase Godwin had two TD throws for Columbia, now 1-7, 0-5. The nationally televised (unless you have YouTube TV) game drew 3,644 to to the northern tip of Manhattan.

Incoming Dartmouth quarterback Jack Cannon threw six touchdown passes and had three more on the ground in a New Jersey state playoff game last night. He was 12-of-14 for 256 yards through the air and ran 12 times for 175 yards as he led Holmdel to a 65-42 win. Find a story HERE.

EXTRA POINT

When I'm scrolling through the Vermont state online library for a book to read on my Kindle I'm often frustrated when I see a new title I'd like to borrow and click through only to find I'm 12th in line for a copy, and the estimated wait time is several months. I rarely get in the queue and when I do, I often forget about it.


Yesterday I got notification that my turn has come up for one of the few books I reserved and, of course, I'd completely forgotten I was in line. It felt like found money and I downloaded it immediately.


Maybe I should do a little more queueing in the future. ;-)
