An Ivy League Super Bowl

With wins by Seattle, Carolina and Pittsburgh this weekend in the NFL playoffs, at least one Ivy League graduate will be playing in the Super Bowl this year.

The Seahawks have Harvard's Isaiah Kacyvenski on their roster. Dartmouth grad Casey Cramer plays for the Panthers, and Brown's Sean Morey is on the Steelers.

Fourteen Ivy League graduates have played in the Super Bowl, and guess how many have gone to Penn? None. In fact, if Morey's Steelers make it to the Super Bowl -- which I think they will -- then Penn will be the only Ivy school without an alum to have played in the Super Bowl.

That's pretty surprising considering the school's long history of success in football.

Princeton grad Jason Garrett was the last Ivy Leaguer to be on a Super Bowl team, when his Giants went in 2001. As a fan of both the Giants and Quakers, here's hoping that starting fullback Jim Finn leads the G-Men to a Super Bowl next year.
