Another thing that may be of interest to some but the Ivy doesn’t allow students to have a fifth year. Since most don’t play as freshmen and they can’t play a redshirt year in the Ivy, you’ll see a crap ton enter the portal with a year to play but can’t stay where they are.
When you say they aren't allowed a fifth year is that athletically only? Or are they limited to 4 years academically as well? I ask from a place of ignorance not criticism.
Athletically. I’m sure the school wants you to graduate in four but do not know any rules against it.
Regarding prep schools, I know there are some on the team for sure. That’s doesn’t impact the four years athletic/academic eligibility to my knowledge. Can certainly help some kids mature I’d think.
Was the hold on Titan on the fake punt really a hold or was that a bad call? I don't know the rule but blocking a guy so hard you pancake him isn't a hold so were his hands too far outside the guys shoulder pads? The tv analyst was making it sound like a good call but he is also a former defensive player so I kind of just ignored his commentary.
It was a textbook pancake block and just a really bad call. I don’t think it’s even up for debate.

That's what I thought as well but somehow the TV announcers agreed with the call.
The replay is out on YouTube now, it's around the 6 or 7 minute mark of the 2nd quarter.

The tv commentator played D line in the NFL. I figured that biased his analysis.
Showing pressure on fourth down in overtime. They bring pressure. Lamson throws...Endzone! Caught! TOUCHDOWN!!! Taco Dowler!
And a kick away from a championship.
Here we go. Miles Sansted. Snap, hold, kick, Up, GOOOOD!! FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

Thanks for sharing that. I'm still not sure why he refused to take part in any interviews, but you sure don't want to kick s guy when he's down. Hopefully he gets the care and recovery he needs.

The Ivies don't do athletic scholarships. Everything is at least nominally need-based. So if a student-athlete wants to redshirt, it's largely going to come out of their own pocket.
It's mostly a cultural thing. Theres an expectation at elite schools that college is a 4 year process, which is fundamentally different than a place like MSU where the expectation that most kids (not just athletes) are going to take 5 or 6 years. And obviously, thats a huge difference for athletes...If the football team is paying for year 5 vs paying for it out of pocket.
That looks to be the DC, not the Head Coach? The "real school" is definitely a shot at MSU. Doesn't the HC face the masses after a loss? Compare this to Vigen, who is nothing but gracious.
I no I am many more stupier than anybody with the Y their jacket and hat, but if Coach Reno has a minute to explain, I'd love to hear the Statistics textbook rationale for going for 2 via a reverse pass by the WR when down 8 with 14 minutes left. But then, I didn't go to 2 real schools to get my CPA and MBA so I may need an interpreter.
It is objectively the right decision to go for 2 down 8 in the fourth quarter. It gives you a higher chance to win the game. The big mistake Yale’s coach made was not going for 2 again at the end of the game.
HUH? You go for 2 at the end and miss it, you’re down 2 scores with 2 minutes to go?

And if you make it, you can take the lead instead of tie if you score again. It's only a bad decision when we analyze it after knowing what the outcome of the play was.

With the portal most top level athletes will not be at the initial school in year 5

He also thought it was face mask when QB helmet came off. He clearly hit his head on OL shoulder enough to push jersey up over the pads.

It’s better to go for it because you need to make a two point conversion at some point. You might as well try and get it down 9 to cut the lead to seven, which gives you the chance to win the game, rather than ensure the best you can do is tie. You should be trying to win the game, not to ensure that it is a closer game. That’s for people who believe in moral victories.

It depends on what you think your odds are in the college OT. A 2 pt is about a 50-50. So going for it gives you a 50-50 shot at being able to win in regulation. Then another 50-50 to tie if you miss the first one & go to OT.
If I had #7 in my backfield, I’d feel pretty confident in OT, but maybe Yale didn’t.

They didn’t need a 2 point try. They were down 8 before the extra point. Kicking 2 PATs would send the game to OT.

I’m guessing that the Ivie’s have a lot fewer guys jump into the portal than most schools.

Think you better check your math. Score after their second TD was 21-12. XP made it 21-13. Looks like down 8 to me and you can't tie with an XP - takes a second 2pt conversion to tie.
Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14, but 34-11 will do, but 48-23 may be the best of all.
In 10 years, will the kids remember the exact score they got in their finals or the score of their loss at Bobcat Stadium?...
Go Cats Go!
Hah this comment is outstanding
Yes they won't remember any if there test scores, but they definitely will remember losing in Bozeman
I hope they remember forever. On a rewatch of the game on TV, their posturing, #7 trying to fight on every play, and shushing the crowd when they’re down by two scores is laughable by a bunch of supposedly smart kids who go to “real” school.
