One From Column AA


Back in College, XL and I did some work for a TV station that covered Division 1-AA football. That was more rare in 1995 then it is now, as most regions have at least one network that shows these games. Today, rather than watch OSU, Florida, Kansas and Georgia win in huge blowouts, I watched a bunch of smart kids play ball at a historic old stadium. Princeton traveled to Philly to take on The Penn Quakers at Franklin Field in a clash of high IQ's and low win totals. Even though there were only 7 points scored in the game, it was actually fun to watch. Joe Sandberg run for 158 yards and a score, not to mention his 54 yards receiving. Plus, on of our friends is the radio play by play guys for the Quakers, so that helps too. When it comes to the Ivy League, however, Papa Greazy went to Harvard so that's where my allegiances lay. And, as I said before, Boston wins everything these so the Crimson are on their way to an Ivy Title.
