Quick Shout Out To Penn Football For Winning The Ivy League And Celebrating By Going HAM On A Plastic Table

TheDP – After a predicted sixth-place finish in the Ivy preseason media poll, Penn football finished its season with a 34-21 win over Cornell to claim a share of its 17th conference title. Dartmouth earned a share of the Ancient Eight title with a 17-10 win over Princeton, while Harvard defeated Yale for the ninth-straight year, 38-19. It is the first time since 1982 that three teams have shared the Ivy crown. The Red and Blue (7-3, 6-1 Ivy) are Ivy League champions for the first time since the 2012 season, when the current seniors were freshmen. This is the first title in the Ray Priore era, as the first-year head coach has navigated his program back from one of its worst years in recent memory. “It’s the most gritty team I’ve been around in my tenure here. I’m so proud of them, of what they’ve accomplished,” Priore said. “It’s hard to win. It’s hard to go out there week in and week out, and for six straight weeks, it’s been backs to the wall, must-win.”

Hey, look kids, a team in Philly won something! It’s an early Christmas miracle! Look, a championship is a championship is a championship. I don’t care if it’s taking down the Ivy or a drunken Tuesday night Cornhole league. We’ll take whatever we can get, because honestly, we don’t get much. And good on Penn for living it up after the W, but not a good look requiring multiple 250+ pound men declaring beastwars on a plastic table before it collapsed. Still though, solid angry effort. That table must have been a size-6 wearing skinny jeans and asking for it. Heaven help The Blarney Stone for the rest of the semester.

At least Cornell has The Nard Dog and acapella stylings of Here Comes Treble. Good for them.
