This entry is written by Carl Ehrlich, a football student-athlete at Harvard. He wrote this entry before Saturday's 10-0 victory over rival Yale, which gave Harvard a share of the Ivy League title.

There are a lot of mistakes that I could (and do) make when posting my blog entries. I've had singular/plural issues, used the passive voice, confused tenses and I've even added the occasional contraction apostrophe to a possessive pronoun. But the one mistake that I will never make is giving another team "bulletin material."

The fate of my blogging career will not hang on the perils of this game. There will be no guarantees, no predicted scores, no personal call outs, and definitely no "mama" jokes.

Before sending each entry in to be posted on GoCrimson.com, I carefully go through the document one more time from the perspective of the other team. Because while putting up a blog that goes unnoticed may be unrewarding, putting up a blog that grabs the attention of another team would be much worse.

Anything can be misconstrued as an insult when a game grows near and everyone is looking for something to complain about to fire themselves up. Besides, Yale is a tough team to beat. We've watched a lot of film on them and they do a lot of things well. They've thrown the ball really well the last couple of weeks, and they're a hard-nosed team - they play hard. We're lucky to get them at home.

To show you how extreme this "bulletin material" hunt is, imagine a Rohrshach quote experiment using just the text above.

"The fate of my blogging career will not hang on the perils of this game."

Player 1: Ehrlich thinks he's above it all.
Player 2: So it's a career now, is it?
Player 3: We'll show this bozo some peril!

"Everyone is looking for something to complain about to fire themselves up."

Player 1: So we're a bunch of whiners, huh?
Player 2: We're fired up already!
Player 3:Typical Harvard psychoanalysis of everyone but themselves.

"They are a tough team to beat. They've passed the ball real well the last couple weeks."

Player 1: Typical Harvard trash talk, thinking they can talk about our running game like that. That's a back-handed compliment if I've ever seen one.
Player 2: All year I've busted my tail and he's only going to talk about the last couple weeks? Like the first half of the season didn't even exist?
Player 3: Tough team to beat? Who said they were going to beat us?!

"The bottom line is that we've got a lot of respect for these kids. We're very lucky we get to play them at home."

Player 1: They feel lucky to play us? Typical Harvard condescension!
Player 2: They won't feel very lucky on Saturday!
Player 3: And who is he calling a kid?

"We've watched a lot of film on these guys. They're a hard-nosed group of guys that who play really tough."

Player 1: They've watched film, so what? If this guy thinks he can just watch film on me and just come out on Saturday and beat me he is dead wrong.
Player 2: Besides, the camera adds ten pounds.
Player 3: What did he say about my nose?

What's going to happen Saturday? Let me tell you this:

Joe Namath was seen as a hero when he "guaranteed" a victory over the heavily favored Colts.

Matt Hasselbeck became a pariah when, on ( the "frozen tundra of Lambeau Field," he announced that "we want the ball and we're gonna score," before throwing an interception that was run back for a touchdown to seal the wildcard game for the Pack in 2003.

Babe Ruth's "called shot" will live in the hearts of baseball fans forever.

In 1994, the back of the New York Post read, "We Will Win Tonight", a guarantee from Mark Messier in a dramatic season for the Rangers.

Patrick Ewing's "see you in Chicago" pronouncement will life in infamy. So my prediction?

It's going to be a great game. Put that on your bulletin board.
