****College Football In-Game Thread****

Couple penalties...a hail Mary jump ball .. horrible tackling...and then a pathetic coverage on the TD pass.
 
Dartmouth is at Penn. I like old stadiums. Games at two of the oldest going tonight.

Franklin Field (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) — 1895

Franklin Field has been a host for baseball, the opera, military training, soccer and a U2 concert, but it’s a football venue, first and foremost. It is the oldest college football stadium in the U.S., the site of the first game to be broadcast on radio in 1922. In addition to hosting countless Penn Quakers games, it was the site of 18 Army-Navy games.

 
Nippert Stadium (Cincinnati, Ohio) — 1915

Cincinnati began playing football at the site in 1901, but construction on Nippert Stadium didn’t begin until 1915 and wasn’t fully completed until 1924. The stadium is named after Jimmy Nippert, who died after an injury suffered in a 1923 game against Miami (Ohio). His grandfather provided funds needed to complete the stadium’s construction. Two U.S. Presidents — Franklin Roosevelt and Barack Obama — have spoken at Nippert.
