Scared straight. We here at PrognostiQuaking HQ certainly were while watching Yale mount a 21-point comeback last week. After many parents beat the traffic back to Long Island, Yale forced OT.

In other news, Brown University will celebrate 125 hallowed years of football this weekend, marked by not one, but two, Ivy League titles. Such a milestone would normally draw a big crowd to Brown Stadium, but with midterms and all, the illustrious student body will be too busy studying for their coveted "P." After beating equally abhorrent Cornell last weekend, Brown football is on Cloud Nine. But we all know that more than just their spirits will be a little high. We were going to call Pol "the despot" Pot to pick the game, but we knew he was a busy man, what with ruling Cambodia and being dead. Mr. Wesleyan C. Weedville of Weedville, Pa., refused to comment on the game, as he had "church business" to conduct. Bonnie at the Weedville Hotel down the street was less helpful -- she had "customers." While the Brown community is optimistic about the Bears' chances, we thought we should consult someone a little more academic than Brown's professors -- John Wolicki, assistant principal of Hempfield High School in Greenburg, Pa.
