I know absolutely no one who ever read Doonesbury.

Watched a great documentary the other day, "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29", about the 1968 Harvard-Yale game, when Harvard miraculously scored two TDs in the last minute to tie the game.

The character "B.D", was based on Brian Dowling, who was the Harvard quarterback in that game. Also, Tommy Lee Jones played for Harvard in that game.

I beg your pardon?!

B.D. was an Eli!

BD was the Yale quarterback.

My parents were at that game as guests of some Harvard bigwig. Until the day he died, my father would never leave a game early, no matter the score, due to that game.

It was a big game because both teams were, for once, undefeated. Yale was favored, as they had a magician at QB and future Dallas star Calvin Hill at RB. Harvard scored 2 TDs and two 2-pt conversions in the last 42 seconds to tie.

“Harvard beats Yale, 29-29,” which I believe was the headline in the Harvard Crimson, ranks up there among the greatest sports headlines of all time - appropriate under the circumstances.
