It was actually a heck of a game. Merrimack was up by 14 in the fourth quarter before Harvard finally turned on the juice and won in overtime.

IMHO, we look silly by bemoaning that teams are unworthy to be on the same field as us... and then either losing to them or beating them by the skin of our teeth.

But that's just me...

I watched the end of Harvard-Merrimack. You are absolutely correct. It was a terrific football game.

As I said above, it's very tough to schedule OOC when everybody else is starting conference play. Stonehill was available and they'll probably give us a good game. I get it.

But as I said, it is absolutely jarring to see an opponent that I have literally never heard of.

That was my reaction to Merrimack and Incarnate Word.

And I lived in Boston for a long time!

If I am located a half hour drive from your campus and I've never heard of your institution, that is jarring. I'll bet that there are not a dozen Division I colleges in America I've never heard of and one of them is taking Harvard football to overtime? What?!

I dated a woman Suzanne who lived in Woburn (pronounced "Woo-burn") who had a sister Kendra attending Stonehill. Wonderful Irish family. Every visit to their house was a party. So at least I've heard of Stonehill, though not for the usual reasons.
