...Ivies to this point, Harvard will be tested next weekend by a Penn squad that defeated Princeton 14-9 on Friday night. It doesn’t help that Harvard is an abysmal 1-12 in its last 13 visits to Franklin Field, with the lone win in that stretch coming in the Crimson’s perfect 2004 season. GROUNDED Harvard’s rushing attack, which has struggled at times this season, managed just four total yards against Columbia’s stingy defense on Saturday.

He raises his hands to celebrate as he enters the home stretch, loses his balance, and falls off his bike. Another cyclist cruises past him. In case you didn’t get the point, the campaign even places a photoshopped McCain head on the guy who ends up winning...
