Also seriously do not ask for "alternate" streams, because we don't want to deal with takedown notices. Most games have radio broadcasts available for free if you're really desperate.

Top 10 Harvard is going to hit like crack LET'S GOOOOO

[u/ShefCrl → u/Specialist-Mistake-4]

All just to lose to yale again

[u/Specialist-Mistake-4 → u/ShefCrl]

If we do nothing short of making Yale our gimp suit bitch this year I’m quitting football and jumping off the tallest building I can find

[u/ShefCrl → u/Specialist-Mistake-4]

Checking in.

[u/GrandeRonde → u/Specialist-Mistake-4]

I still find it a little mentally jarring to think of Ivy League teams in playoff contention, but I'm here for it!

[u/Specialist-Mistake-4 → u/GrandeRonde]

Man I'm legit excited we FINALLY decided to do it, I've been wanting this forever. And I'm also hoping it leads us to scheduling some better OOC games as well, get out of the northeast and get some premier top 25 games! I'm beyond ready to go for some real title aspirations.

[u/GrandeRonde → u/Specialist-Mistake-4]

Goddamn, can you imagine Harvard vs NDSU, SDSU, U of M, MSU etc.? Although I have to ask would Ivy League schools "stoop" to the level of the upper echelons of the FCS?

[u/PositiveElection2141 → u/GrandeRonde]

What about us…

[u/[deleted] → u/GrandeRonde]

Harvard playing at WA-GRIZ would be insane

[u/Specialist-Mistake-4 → u/[deleted]]

This is a late reply but on the record, if I had to pick a dream road game to see Harvard play at, it would be WA-Griz. Fargo Dome is cool and all with trying to David their Goliath but man the atmosphere of a packed WA-Griz in a possible snow game? That’s a dream.

[u/[deleted] → u/Specialist-Mistake-4]

I'm biased obviously but a December night game at WA-Griz is a religious experience.

[u/GrandeRonde → u/[deleted]]

The Grizzlies playing at the Harvard Stadium would be just as epic!

[u/Specialist-Mistake-4 → u/GrandeRonde]

I would love to see it either way, it’s all so damn exciting for me and a fever dream that it’s a real possibility.

[u/Specialist-Mistake-4 → u/GrandeRonde]

I'm not going to speak for the conference's views, me personally as a fan of football could not care less and I want us to schedule the best to grind the axe. I'm not going to pretend that Harvard is going to beat the Dakotas and Montanas of the world yet but I sure as hell would love to see us take the swing.

[u/GrandeRonde → u/Specialist-Mistake-4]

I'm trying to imagine the turnout for a Harvard home game vs the Dakotas or Montanas. Would the FCS hype increase turnout?
