Harvard Beats Yale

On the eve of the 125th installment of "The Game," the annual football rivalry between Harvard and Yale, The New York Times reviews what Manohla Dargis calls a "preposterously entertaining documentary" of the most famous of all Games, the 1968 29-29 tie.

I must say, living in the realm where "The Game" is relevant to some people, I have not heard peep about it all week. Of course, I don't watch ESPN, FoxSports or NESN owing to a lack of a TV, but even in print or on the radio I haven't heard much about it at all. I expect, nay, I HOPE I hear so little about the Beanpot when that comes around.

p.s. Congrats on the book getting published, finally. :)

You forgot to mention that Brown won a share of the Ivy championship yesterday ;)

Two points --

Steve: I agree that The Game is not necessarily a huge sporting event in Boston, a fundamentally pro sports town where even some darned good Boston College sports teams have to take a backseat. But culturally, Harvard-Yale is pretty important.
As for the book, I only received my PhD five years ago, so I'm not that far behind pace, given all that has transpired since then.

Indeed, an oversight on my part! Congrats to Brown!
