@BringAaronTehHorizon It's an ironic statement first used as a headline in the Harvard student newspaper The Crimson in its report of the game.

@michaelHda True dat. Trudeau went to Yale, and Walden is modeled on Yale. Interestingly, Garry Trudeau and William Buckley both went to Yale. What Bill though of this game, I don't know
-
Neither team actually won--Harvard's claim is really a "moral victory," not an actual one. The result on the record books is a tie.
-
@jeglpz Then how did they say who wins?
-
There was no overtime in 1968. The game ended after 60 minutes, regardless of the score.
-
How did they win 29-29? They would have gone into overtime wouldnt they??

Just saw the movie on NetFlix LOVED IT!
Great story told by great story tellers. I was impressed by all and really surprised & impressed with Tommy Lee Jones. I watched him closely on the film and he was a damn good college football player.

Cartoonist Gary Thrueau created the character "B. D." in Doonesbury in homage to Brain dowling, the Yale Quarterback.

Astounding irony-
Only two presidents are buried at Arlington National Cemetery
William Howard Taft- the first Yale graduate to be elected president of the USA
John F. Kennedy- up until now, the last Harvard graduate to serve as president
"Well I say, let Harvard have its 'football' and 'academics.' Yale will always be first for gentlemanly club life!" -- Mr. Burns
