This year's version of \"The Gauntlet\" starts Friday with the Tigers' home game versus Harvard. A fitting time to repost the following from last season. - JS<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the Brown game<\/a>, I received the following question from reader Jim W.:<\/p>\n

I'd be interested to know the Tigers' record in the second weekend of the five game weeks they play relative to their records in other weeks. I believe that years ago they used to play one or both of the Penn games on a Saturday instead of wedging the games into a Tuesday and wonder if that would make sense again, particularly with all the conference tournaments extending the season.<\/i><\/p>\n

Excellent inquiry. <\/p>\n

How have the Tigers faired in Ivy play running \"The Gauntlet\" of Friday-Saturday-Tuesday-Friday-Saturday?<\/p>\n

Here are 31 years of answers, thanks in part to the good folks at the Princeton Athletic Department...<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The bold W<\/b> or L<\/b> at the end of each line represents how Princeton did in the fifth of these five games.<\/p>\n
