An Ivy League Super Bowl (Part 2)

 

I posted last week about the possibility of having an Ivy League graduate in the Super Bowl for the first time since 2001. Well, it's happened.

The Steelers' Sean Morey (a Brown graduate) will face off against the Seahawks' Isaiah Kacyvenski (a Harvard grad).

This is the first Ivy vs. Ivy Super Bowl matchup since 1984. It is also certain that an Ivy League alumnus will win an NFL title for the first time since Princeton grad Jason Garrett won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys in 1994.

My money's on Morey and the Steelers.

In other Ivy League NFL news:

- The Buffalo Bills' Marv Levy (who holds a master's degree from Harvard) hired Dick Jauron (a former Yale standout) as head coach today

- Here's the official list of I-AA players invited to the NFL combine. Cornell's Kevin Boothe (expected to go as early as the third round) is the only Ivy invite:

QB Tarvaris Jackson, Alabama State; DE Chris Gocong, Cal Poly; OT Kevin Boothe, Cornell; QB Erik Meyer, Eastern Washington; QB Ingle Martin, Furman; QB Bruce Eugene, Grambling State; DE Jason Hatcher, Grambling State; WR Marques Colston, Hofstra; FS Antoine Bethea, Howard; PK Jon Scifres, Missouri State; WR Miles Austin, Monmouth; QB Travis Lulay, Montana State; FS Reed Doughty, Northern Colorado; CB David Pittman, Northwestern State; QB Barrick Nealy, Texas State; TE Daniel Fells, UC Davis; DE Darrell Adams, Villanova; OT Paul McQuistan, Weber State
