Do We Smell An Oscar?
Hey, remember that book "Football: The Ivy League Origins of an American Obsession"? You know, the one that's currently the 559,294th best selling book on Amazon. You don't? Well, it must have made an impression on the one guy who bought it - filmmaker Erik Greenberg Anjou.
Fresh off his latest success, A Cantor's Tale, the Middlebury grad and former Cantorial music student is turning his attention to an equally gripping topic: Ivy League football. The film is set to be released sometime in 2007.
A documentary on Ivy League football? Someone must have already acquired the rights to watching paint dry and the grass grow.

As long as they choose the right decades an Ivy football documentary could be interesting. Remember that the Ivies used to be the powerhouses of college football with all, but Columbia and Brown winning the national title at least once.
While watching games like Cornell pounding, Penn State 47-0, Virginia Tech 45-0, and Western Reserve 110-0 back in the day might have been a bit boring; thrilling games such as Cornell’s 1939 win at Ohio State and the 1951 beating of Michigan in Ithaca would make good television even today.
Cornell has got to be the only team around to still have a winning record against both Ohio St and Michigan.
