Although I am ashamed to admit that my alma mater got it's a** soundly spanked in 1859, I am hoping that the reenactment will be some revisionist history.

For those of you who want to watch...

How much were tickets to the game back then and where did you sit?

No charge for the ticket by showing my student ID.

And I sat where everyone else did - on my a**!

I hate those people at Amherst! Just last month, they edged my alma mater to win the NCAA Div. III, Women's Ice Hockey Championship.

While the Lord Jeffs have a decided edge in baseball, the Ephs have a commanding lead in the 124 year old football rivalry (70 - 48 - 5):http://www.williams.edu/home/focus/wms_amherst/
