As is the case with media outlets everywhere, the Cornell Sun is struggling to fill its sports page. Today it has a story under the headline, Inside the Cornell-Dartmouth Football Rivalry (LINK).
While the story details Dartmouth's 61-41-1 record and recent domination in the series, it also looks at the Big Red's upset win in 2019. From the story:
Last year ... the Red snapped the Green’s winning streak in a shocking fashion. Dartmouth, which entered the contest with a perfect 8-0 record and a No. 11 national ranking, fell to Cornell at home, 20-17.
Prior to that matchup, Cornell stumbled in with a 2-6 record and had experienced heartbreaking one-point losses to both Penn and Colgate. A 30.5-point underdog, the Red contained an explosive Dartmouth offense that was averaging over 35 points per game.
And . . .
“We talked about how they had literally everything to lose — they had just played two enormous, emotional games,” (Cornell coach David) Archer said. “I don’t think Dartmouth circled the Cornell game on their calendar … We could be the most dangerous team because we didn’t have anything to lose.”

This is kind of fun. It's silent film from the first game ever played at Yale Bowl on Nov. 21, 1914, a game between the Bulldogs and Harvard. (Do yourself a favor and mute the electronic music on the video):
