VS. <\/h2>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

The 124th playing of The Game<\/span> is tomorrow at the Yale Bowl. Both teams come in undefeated in Ivy League play, but Yale (9-0) has a perfect overall record; Harvard lost two non league games (7-2). It will be noted throughout the HDnet<\/span> broadcast that the last time this happened was 1968. Every college football historian knows both teams technically came out of that game without a loss. Hearing my father tell the story of that epic game is why I have yet to leave a football game early and probably never will do so. He didn’t leave that day.<\/p>\n

We saw Yale when they played Georgetown this September. They are a good football team with excellent fundementals. RB Mike McLeod<\/span> is the biggest offensive threat, breaking all sorts of Yale rushing records. He sees a hole as well as any running back I have ever watched.<\/p>\n

This would have been an excellent year<\/span><\/a> (Yale Daily News<\/span>) for ESPN to take the Gameday crew to the Bowl, but having visited a D-III game last weak, they probably thought they were overdoing it with visiting non BCS schools. Instead Gameday is going to Ohio State vs. Michigan out of habit. It should be noted that Yale has so far beaten all the I-AA teams it has played, while the Wolverines have not.<\/p>\n

I plan on watching The Game with the old man (’63) downtown. If it is a good one, I’ll watch the whole thing. Given Penn State’s recent transgressions, I’m tempted to watch the Yale game all the way through even if I miss some of the Penn State game.<\/p>\n
