I stumbled across this documentary. It's a fascinating watch. The story of undefeated #16 ranked Yale taking on undefeated but unranked Harvard in 1968. David vs. Goliath with an amazing come-from-behind "victory". Notable players include Calvin Hill, Brian Dowling, and Tommy Lee Jones (yes, the actor). Interesting backstories include the Vietnam War, the political unrest of the late 60's, "you're number two", and the Mickey Mouse theme song. Also, some interesting anecdotes about Gary Trudeau ("Doonesbury"), Meryl Streep, George Bush, and Al Gore. I highly recommend. It's also available on free streaming TV on Tubi and Gravitas and for a few $'s on Amazon Prime.

The good ol' days of college football that we will never see the likes of ever again.
