Back when it was constructed in 1914, Yale Bowl was the biggest stadium in the world.

Remember as a kid going to Yale Bowl for UConn/Yale.

Basically, Yale has a very distant past. UConn has much more of a potential future. UConn just might get into a P-5 conference.
Yale is stuck playing Brown, Colgate, & Cornell in front of 12K fans in a 60,000+ seat bowl. Every 2 years Harvard comes to New Haven and that game is played in front to 10,000 empty seats. Last Saturday Lehigh drew 7,500 to the bowl.
I'll take UConn's future over Yale's past in FB. Presidential candidates are another matter.

Anyone else pulling double duty tomorrow?

Heading over to Yale Bowl in the morning, get in a good tailgate, watch the Army cadets march and pregame ceremonies....stay for the first half. Then jump on 91 and get to the Rent by 3:30 to see our own military pregame festivities and hopefully a beat down of Temple.

Well, considering Yale's football players are non-scholarship and UCONN's are, I should hope UCONN's football future is brighter!

LOVE THIS. No, I'm not but am itching to go to The Game down there one of these years. Seems like it always coincides with a UCONN home game so I can never make it. Haven't been to the Yale Bowl since I was a kid.

Heisman Trophy winner UConn will never have? Maybe not, but then again who knows what will happen.
