Optimism should be rising about the chances we will have a fairly normal 2021 Ivy football season now that we have just about all of Columbia's actual game times released and we know the schedule of nationally televised games on ESPNU (and NOT NBC Sports Network),
Of course, I'll be happier when we also see a training camp schedule and happiest when each and every regular season game kicks off.
Getting back to the ESPNU games, every Ivy team will get at least one game nationally broadcast. But defending co-champ Dartmouth gets a whopping three national games, including two at home. That includes the 10/22 game vs. the Lions at Memorial Field. I must admit I'm a little bummed about that one, as I really enjoy visiting Dartmouth for day games and getting up to Hanover in time for a Friday night tilt is almost impossible from the NYC area... unless you leave on Thursday. Well, let's just say if both teams are 5-0 going into that game I'll probably find a way.
But since Dartmouth is going to be on your TV screens so often this fall anyway, why don't you sign up for Bruce Wood's Big Green Alert premium web service and be informed about a key Columbia opponent? The info on how to do that is available by clicking here.
BTW, Bruce begins his coverage on that site every year with a look at all the Ivy teams and their strengths and weaknesses, so it's really a must for any Ivy football fan.
