Prosper was the hero the last time the Lions tamed the H

It's a beautiful day in New York City with temps in the 50's and barely a cloud in the sky. If you love autumn in the Northeast, this is the game to attend today.

If you can't make it, sign up for the SideLion Pass and listen to Jerry Recco and me call the game.

Columbia hasn't defeated Harvard since 2003, when the Lions edged the Crimson 16-13 with a late TD after a key interception by Prosper Nwokocha '06. That win helped get Columbia going again after it had started the season well, and then slumped.

This 2009 version of the Lions has a lot of similarities with the 2003 squad. Both teams posted historic wins at Princeton but then went on to lose the next four contests.
