...Yale, on the other hand, is portrayed as a daunting and arrogant juggernaut. Brian “God” Dowling is the polished quarterback who hasn’t lost a game since middle school and running back Calvin Hill is a future No. 1 draft pick of the Dallas Cowboys. Several of the Bulldogs players come from families with long-standing ties to Yale, and while the Harvard players talk about picket lines and the University Hall student takeover, the Elis care less for broader global happenings and more about walking around campus and being treated like heroes...
