I'm watching "Harvard beats Yale 29-29" on Netflix, and I never knew

That Tommy Lee Jones was an All Ivy League tackle for Harvard. Crazy to think that Yale was a ranked team. Things have certainly changed. Good documentary though. Anyone seen it?

I saw it, great documentary except that one really fricking pretentious dude from Yale. If you've seen it you know who I'm talking about.

Does it mention that his roommate was Al Gore?

Not yet, but wiki says they were neighbors, not roommates.

I see now where it says they were roomates later on.

Yale senior QB Brian Dowling hadn't played in a single losing football game since the 7th grade. Holy shite.

Or that Love Story was modeled after Tommy Lee and Al.

quote:

The character of the preppy Harvard hockey player Oliver Barrett 4th was modeled on both Mr. Gore and his college roommate, the actor Tommy Lee Jones.

Quite a cast of people surrounding this. One guy was dating Meryl Streep. Brian Dowling became the character from Doonesbury. Calvin Hill is Grant Hill's father and was dating the roommate of Hillary Rodham. Tommy Lee and Al Gore. Crazy.
They just brought up GW Bush getting arrested for tearing down the goalposts at Princeton.

I believe John Lithgow was also their roomate at some point, or maybe he just roomed with Gore @ Harvard.

It's good, but I remember it being kind of redundant and not needed to be as long as it is.
