by Paul McNeeley

Hello Harvard Football alums, Friends and fans, The Game is now just one day away! By this time tomorrow, hopefully many of you will be among the 50,000 or so expected at the Yale Bowl to witness the 120th Harvard/Yale game. But if you can't make it to New Haven, make sure you check out the game on TV. Tomorrow's game could end up as the most-watched Ivy League football game ever because the broadcast will reach 70 million households nationally and internationally. Check out the press release below to find out what station will carry the game in your area. Also, tonight at 10:30 p.m., Boston WB Channel 56 (which is airing tomorrow's game live) will broadcast the half-hour special titled "100 Years of Harvard Stadium".
