...represent a renaissance for Ivy League sports and in particular for the Crimson. If Harvard captain and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is able to lead the Crimson to the fourth consecutive victory over Yale on Saturday, then this group of seniors will be the first Harvard class since 1922 to defeat the Yalies in four straight contests. Interestingly enough, that was also the last group to win a Rose Bowl, as Harvard defeated the University of Oregon 7-6 to win the Jan. 1, 1920 contest in Pasadena, Calif. and finished undefeated on the season...
It’s too late for Fitzpatrick and Edwards and Everett. If they defeat the Elis today, their senior campaign will rank right up there with those of 1922 and 1968—the team that came back to tie Yale 29-29 after trailing by 16 with just 42 seconds to play—but they will not have the same chance to compete for something extra...

...Democrats want a fresh face and a candidate who can't be tagged as a liberal, they could turn to Indiana Senator Evan Bayh. A former Governor who consistently wins in a heavily Republican state, Bayh is a centrist's dream on paper. But after Kerry's defeat, Democrats may want to steer clear of nominating another Senator, even a former one like Edwards. After all, no member of Congress has won the White House since 1960. Governors have fared much better. For that reason, expect New Mexico's Bill Richardson, Iowa's Tom Vilsack and Pennsylvania's Ed Rendell...
