As readers of T3I know, there's a big game going on in New England this weekend, it is an expected sell out, with two bitter rivals facing off. Each team's passionate fans and alumni are anxiously awaiting kickoff and planning grand tailgate parties. That's right, it's time for..............Harvard v. Yale, and it's the hottest ticket in town.
While no one can top the tradition of "The game" it is worth noting that Syracuse-UConn will be played in front of at least 20,000 less people, because the max capacity for Rentschler Field is only 40,000 versus the more than 61,000 the Yale Bowl can hold.
So while some of the nation's elite power brokers tailgate with lobster, champagne and fine wine (seriously, read the link above) big east fans - mainly Husky fans - will be dining on hot dogs, cheetos and pop tarts on a former airport runway.
It's a shame the Syracuse football program has fallen so far, so fast, because with the rise of the Huskies, this late season game could have meant something to both teams in the Big East standings, and maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be as over shadowed by an Ivy League game.
