Subject: We will take it!! Author: Go Green [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:59:31 10/26/24 Sat In reply to: SpuytenDuyvil76 's message, "Dartmouth 10-0 at Half" on 14:50:19 10/26/24 Sat Would have been nice to put the game away and not let Columbia have a fighting chance to come back, but we got it done and will take it. But it's satisfying given some of the stuff the Columbia guys were saying on Jake's Blog. Jake himself has always respected Dartmouth and knows that the Ivy title usually goes though Hanover. But... Saying that it's anyone's title because Harvard, Yale, and Princeton all lost their league openers? Please. Dissing Dartmouth's defense? Come on... Proclaiming that Columbia had the best kicker in the league? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I certainly hope that Columbia wins a lot of games from here on. But if they want to win a championship, they need to learn how to beat the champs. And the first step in doing that is to *respect* the champs. Their 1861 Ivy championship team understood this. Also hope that their QB is ok. If not, they can look elsewhere (oh, say Dartmouth) on how to win games with backup quarterbacks. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

You clearly fielded the better team on this Saturday, and maybe the rest of the season. Gracious in victory might behoove you. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: This guy on Jake's blog nailed it Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:26:00 10/26/24 Sat No, it wasn't me. "The irrational exuberance-based statements on this thread and other recent ones regarding this game is stunning." Honestly, I wish Columbia the best. But some of your supporters' comments regarding Dartmouth.... sheesh! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: dartmouth incivility Author: lion rooter [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:16:04 10/27/24 Sun i don't read jakes blog so i can not speak to the unutterable disrepect given to Dartmouth on that site. What do you expect to have people post on their own blog site? I do see some "irrational exuberance" on this Geaux Green fella - and suggest some anger management course for him. In fact if i was to throw brickbats I'd say all those green penalties at near end of the game - unsportsmanlike play, face mask etc. and smacks of mean green desperation as they felt the game possibly slipping away. so there's my disrespect for your team Mr. GG - amplified by your childish BS you just posted - have a good day !

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: I'll tell you this much Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:46:14 10/27/24 Sun The owner of the Columbia blog was most likely face-palming and shaking his head when he read about the multiple predictions of a 41-10 Columbia victory yesterday on his blog.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: dartmouth incivility Author: Lurker [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:05:21 10/27/24 Sun Not sure many look to that blog for high-level football insights. Apologies to Dartmouth players and staff if the excited comments of septuagenarian Lion fans were upsetting. Heaven forbid any Ivy League team should get disrespected in any form on any forum. Especially the poor Green who have endured several non-winning campaigns over the last several decades [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Don't underestimate it Author: sparman [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:17:24 10/27/24 Sun Do you know how much time it takes to monitor the entire internet 24/7 for Dartmouth disrespect? Not to mention on top of that having to scour for all things Princeton? Ok, I guess maybe that question answers itself. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: I liked the sarcasm! Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:07:06 10/28/24 Mon But Dartmouth basketball fans (old and young) would not be predicting a 30-point win over Princeton on the basketball board even if we do get off to a nice start. And if we did, I have no doubt that the Princeton guys would throw it back into our faces when we couldn't back it up. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:37:28 10/28/24 Mon There is a lot of stuff and nonsense on Jake's blog these days, especially since the advent of the "anonymous" poster. I don't take a lot of those posts seriously, and certainly did not take any of those outrageous predicted scores so. I would definitely put them in the category so well captured by the late great Alan Greenspan... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Easy, Spuyten, He's Still Kicking Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:13:30 11/01/24 Fri It's arguable how "great" Alan Greenspan was as a Fed chairman, but I hope we can all agree that he is not "late." Chairman Greenspan is alive and kicking. Fun fact: He was married twice and both women had the maiden name of "Mitchell," including his current wife, NBC journalist and Penn alumna Andrea Mitchell. I mean, many of us have a "type" when it comes to women, but usually it's not her maiden name. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
