Hurl that spheroid down the field:The Game, to be televised nationally this weekend, is always a good take. I can say I was there in '82 when the MIT hackers inflated a giant balloon out of the turf at midfield. Good people-watching: Not every game draws the odd octogenarian Yankee in a bowler and vintage raccoon coat with a Yale bulldog pirate-patch over his eye. (Wonder what ever happened to that guy?)
