Harvard concedes defeat to Yale, takes on Cornell

Hey guys, Harvard here... we're gonna focus on Cornell from now on...

Today, Harvard freshman Christina McClintock, speaking on behalf of her entire university, conceded ultimate defeat to Yale, in everything, forever. In an op-ed in the Crimson, she said that Harvard should just give up on Yale and focus its energies on Cornell, an inarguably more realistic rival. “Forget Yale,” she writes, “The Big Red is definitely Harvard’s biggest rival right now.” Harvard may have realized that conceding mainland Asia to Yale is not a path to future competitiveness, and so is pre-emptively pursuing a weaker target. Good luck with that, Cantabs!

Harvard-Yale Game 2009: How to have fun (by Harvarders!)

No, that’s not Harvester, folks. It’s Harvarder! And it means a person who goes to Harvard! Apparently (and this is NEWS to us), Harvard also has many a publication that is writing things about New Haven and what it’s going to be like to attend the game in scarrryyyyy New Haven. We at the Bullblog always seek to have a rounded perspective on things, so we thought we’d share with you a compilation on what our neighbors have to say about bulldogs.

According to the Alumni Affairs organization of H-town, Harvard will also be setting up some tailgates (let’s hope they don’t go too wild with all their newfound tailgating freedom unlike last year’s “nanny state“!) The house tailgates look pretty boring, but I will give a beer (fresh from the SigEp keg) to anyone who can infiltrate this one.

Last year, Harvard had girl talk play at a pep rally. Then the Harvard 5-0 ended it prematurely (like their tailgate) after the event got too rowdy. This year, they’re all in a tizzy that they don’t have anyone to perform. And they have to pay for their tickets and transport! Luckily there will be a “FAN-tastic freshman contest!” as a replacement. According to one Harvarder, “There will be of more hating on Yale this year than a concert—we’re getting back to the basics of destroying Yale. So it will be getting back to the roots of what a pep rally is.”

According to the real Elle Woodses of Harvard, the top 10 things to do at the game include playing “spot the future famous person”, going to the Harvard-Yale glee club concert (“It’s always a blast”), choreographing a victory dance, not exploring New Haven (“New Haven does have a rep for being kind of dangerous.“), and “having fun”! Will do, Elles!

Listen up for a remix of the Harvard fight song “10,000 men of Harvard”. Voting is going on right NOW so Harvard can pick which one will be played at the fore-mentioned pep rally. And look out for some “Yale sux” shirts even though “we don’t need a t-shirt to tell us Yale sucks“. Apparently, they do need a video though!

Trojan Sexual Health Report Card:

Yale: #15.

Why isn’t the Daily Beast reporting on this???

Even in assessing losses, Harvard is douchey

The Harvard Crimson wants you to know that, even though their endowment fell a shit-ton over the last year or so, it’s still bigger than Yale’s ever was to begin with. Their graphic includes data for all the universities in the Ivy-plus set and is “interactive,” meaning they’ve Flash-animated Harvard’s awesomeness for you.
