Subject: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: Go Green [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:35:43 11/04/24 Mon Zalc's 54-yarder against Harvard last Saturday got me wondering what the longest field goal in Ivy history was. I googled, and game up with this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._T._Haxall [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: RedWin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:12:55 11/06/24 Wed Cornell's kicker Ron Rejda I remember kicked a 51 yarder in 1979. I think that's the only time I have seen an Ivy League kick over 50 yards. Go Big Red! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:12:47 11/07/24 Thu Cornell's record book doesn't list Rejda as making a 51-yarder. https://cornellbigred.com/sports/2023/6/19/game-records.aspx#FG.LNG Then again, they don't list his 47-yarder against Harvard in 1979 either. https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1979/10/13/cornell-swamps-crimson-41-14-pithaca-ny-harvard/ (And that was a real dick move by the Cornell QB to throw a bomb for a td with a minute to go when the game was clearly over. I don't care if he was third string. Would be curious to know if Harvard got any payback for that in the ensuing years...). [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: Fear the Quaker [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:10:56 11/07/24 Thu Scolding Cornell football over a touchdown pass thrown 45 years ago. Sorry, some humor there. :) Restic and Blackmon died in 2011 and 2000. There ghosts are probably laughing. Blackmon coached a long time at Dartmouth. You had better check his record at Dartmouth too. :) [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 (Dropkick) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:09:43 11/07/24 Thu Let's hear it for Ralph! One man offense machine! From: https://gocolumbialions.com/news/2020/10/28/football-columbias-top-10-game-winning-field-goals.aspx 5. Ralph Hewitt | Nov. 1, 1930 (Columbia 10, Cornell 7) A week after he defeats Willliams on a last-minute field goal, Hewitt drop kicks the game-winning 52-yard field goal and returns a kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown in a 10-7 Columbia win over Cornell at Baker Field. Hewitt scores all 10 of Columbia's points. His 52-yard field still ranks as the longest field goal in school history and his 92-yard kickoff return touchdown is one of the longest in school history.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Good for him! Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:23:59 11/07/24 Thu Please tell me that you've got memorized Dartmouth game scores back to 1930. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Nah Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:30:04 11/07/24 Thu I had to look it up. But I do know that by that era, Dartmouth was generally kicking the #### out of teams that ended up being classified as Division III. So I was not surprised to see that we easily handled Columbia in a year that they needed a last-minute field goal to beat Williams. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Should have mentioned that... Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 16:33:04 11/07/24 Thu ... Dartmouth claimed its only national championship in 1925. I certainly hope that Dartmouth does something to mark the 100-year anniversary of that team next Fall!!! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Nah Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:52:52 11/09/24 Sat Referencing your use of the term "kicking the #### out of teams," this morning on ESPN College Game Day, Nick Saban was talking about one of his Alabama offenses when he said on live television, "We went down the field like s--t through a tin horn." Then the other guys on the set reacted and repeated "s--t" on national television. Only four days later and already the rules have changed. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: Greenhorn [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:24:08 11/07/24 Thu It feels decadent to have a kicker like Zalc. I was actually confident when he trotted out on to the field, and I think his kick would've been good from 60. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Longest FG in Ivy History? Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 (Dropkick!) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:22:53 11/07/24 Thu With all due respect...I'm talkin' dropkick heah, 52 yards. Yeah, maybe the ball had rounder ends, still a hell of a long way to go with precision. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
