Subject: Re: Harvard's Offense and QB's/ Aurich Author: Bengal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 11:53:34 10/28/24 Mon In reply to: John Harvard 's message, "Re: Harvard's Offense and QB's" on 10:14:27 10/28/24 Mon Harvard OC and team excellently exploited our zone defense. Pass after pass to open receivers on the sidelines. When we went to man we got burned at least once. Fitzpatrick interviewed for 5 minutes on the sideline. Sounded like he played some advisory role in the new coach hire.He said nice things about Aurich. But when asked whether they had wanted a Princeton guy he emphatically said we had not, at the time. By appropriately not letting up at 31-13 (and H even scored another TD when they stopped passing and with a backup QB), Aurich certainly demonstrated no residual sentimentality for Old Nassau and decisively snapped H’s 6 game losing streak to P. Winning out, if he can do it which is no small task, might dissipate more of the animosity some H alums felt with his hire. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: The Crimson Hot Air Balloon Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:40:37 10/28/24 Mon I had a feeling that, if given the chance, Aurich would keep his foot on the accelerator. And I don't blame him. He's got to win over a variety of constituencies. If he gets off to a slow start, there will be no sympathies for him coming from the alumni. I think that the single worst name to have on your resume if you're a Harvard coach is Princeton. I have no doubt that, when the final gun went off at Harvard Stadium, the happiest person in the joint after Aurich was Erin McDermott. Last winter, she climbed into the hot air balloon with him and said, "Okay, pal, if you go down, there's no parachute for me." As is true everywhere, winning cures all things. I would predict a Harvard win this Saturday, but I know how carefully Dartmouth alumni scour the internet looking for perceived slights. My forecast: Dartmouth 100, Harvard 0.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Again, love the sarcasm! Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:01:46 10/28/24 Mon For whatever crazy reason, Harvard almost always brings its A game for Dartmouth, and we don't always do likewise. There were a few games when I was hoping that we would really trash the Crimson, only to win holding on by our fingernails. The Hail Mary game (and how about those Commanders?) was one of them. That said, Saturday is not one of the game when I'm thinking that will win by double digits (although it would be great if we did). I think we are really going to have to play mistake-free football to beat Harvard. We can do it. But I would be fine using up the sixth of our nine lives on Saturday for another close victory.

That was a good Dartmouth team (finished 8-2, 6-1), but won a lot of games by low single digits. We had an excellent kicker. We won one game (Penn) by a miracle play (although it occurred in the first half) that made Sports Illustrated. We felt enchanted. And then Harvard came to Hanover on our homecoming and kicked our asses. It was Murphy's first title. I'm just feeling 1997 vibes again this season... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
