Cornell’s upset of Dartmouth in Hanover in 2019 on a bitterly cold day. Those Dartmouth teams in 2018 and 2019 were dominant but Cornell outplayed them on that day.

It won't go down in the annals of history as one of the "biggest" upsets ever, but, for the sake of recency bias, how about the Brown Bears' takedown of a top-10 URI team on Friday? Bruno had not beaten a top-10 opponent since 1981, nor beaten URI for the Governor's Cup since 2017. We were also coming off a ruthless smackdown at the hands of the Crimson and appeared rudderless. Tremendous effort by the Bears to impose their will upon Rhody early, and then hang on as the Rams rallied late.

Here's hoping that, in retrospect, this result won't be viewed as an upset at all because Brown proves to be a true Ivy contender (events in Cambridge notwithstanding).
