Random Ivy Notes

1) The Penn-Brown football game this Saturday will be nationally televised on Versus as the Ivy League Game of the Week. And unlike last week's fluff game between then-winless Columbia and still-winless Dartmouth, this game will actually be important. Both teams enter the game with 3-0 conference records, so the winner will be in the driver's seat of the Ivy title race.

Only twice before have Brown and Penn met with undefeated Ancient Eight records. Penn won both in 1984 and 1986 en route to league championships.

2) Both the men's and women's basketball teams have their preseason intrasquad scrimmages this weekend, just before the homecoming football game. And in case you need some practice watching morning basketball before the men's team takes on Drexel at 10 a.m. Nov 18 you're in luck: The men's scrimmage starts at 10:45 a.m.

3) On the heels of a documentary about the 1969 "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29" game, this Saturday, NESN will air a 90-minute documentary on Ivy League football.
