...fact, the parallel gets a bit more eerie, when you consider that both Cornell and Harvard dropped a road contest followed by a heartbreaking Friday night home loss to Princeton and a double-digit defeat at the hands of Penn to fall back to .500. The Crimson added to its troubles by getting swept at home by Brown and Yale the following weekend, and now the Big Red has the opportunity to do the same...

The Crimson started out 10-5 and 2-0 in the Ivy League in both years, but after losing a few close games early, the team went in the tank. The 2002-2003 squad won two of its final 12 games.
