I wasn’t talking specifically about Chip vis a vis sneering at shared titles. But there’s plenty of sneering.
To be clear the original tweet said “in 38 years†so it clearly had incorporated Penn’s 70s run.
What was at issue was Penn’s 99 to 07 run with seven titles. My point is merely that Harvard’s run came in a much, much tougher league (and also included 2 NCAA wins). That’s uniquely impressive.
There are other uniquely impressive performances in that run as well. Princeton’s 1990s seeding comes to mind. Penn’s run winning all those Ivy games in a row in the mid-90s.
But we’re in a unique league now (when it comes to the AI era). Wins are far more difficult to come by and consistent strong performances should be celebrated.
