Although Harvard went down to defeat today, the avid Crimson fan can seek solace in the pages of history.
If he turns back to the year 1915, for example, he can read of a time when Crimson teams treated the Bulldog as a toy poodle.
"Harvard's Superb Machine Gives Yale's Eleven Players Worst Beating in the Blue's 44 Years of Football," an eight-column headline in the Boston Globe announced after the 1915 game.
The Globe said: "Never before in a big game has the winning team played the better football in every department of the game or the loser been so helpless to stave off an overwhelming defeat. It was the worst beating the Blue ever has experienced at Harvard's hands and it was a beating which was administered with an exhibition of superior play that was simply overwhelming."
