If there’s one thing that really puts me in “rage mode,” it’s a well thought-out email from an administrator. Today’s email from Gentry could not have been any better for this purpose. He had it all: bold-faced headings, self-referential hyperlinks, plenty of appositives, and enough apologetic quotation marks to sink a ship. But these are …
Apparently at the Game this year Harvard kids are going to be suiting up in crimson pinnies with the slogan “Occupy Yale” and “We are the 6%” on the back. Sweet, right? Not really. Gawker pointed this out in an article today, and we have to agree that this pinny is about as cool as …
Suffering from a shortage of school spirit? Need something to pump up your hatred of Harvard before the Big Day? Yeah, we didn’t think so. But still, there’s a time for everything, and the time to bash Harvard is always, so here’s a short list of horrible people associated with the big H that will …
Quyen Slotznick’s older sister recently graduated from MIT, so she’s pretty experienced in dealing with something we’ll have to face this weekend: how to retain your cool in Cambridge, even when you’re surrounded by the sad, sorry souls of Cantabs.

When the Finals Club and House parties just get too lame:
Take …
The battle begins. Yalies under the pseudonym “RespectYale” have responded to Harvard’s admissions video, which poked fun at Yalies and in turn poked fun at Annie Le. “Harvard has really gone down from here*
*to here in my book of coolness… which is pretty extensive,” says the video’s star.
On Harvard Time, Harvard’s satiric news show, has released this year’s annual Harvard-Yale video. This year’s video is definitely a step up from last year’s or the year before production-wise, but this year’s video just proves that Cantabs have a massive inferiority complex. The only jokes they’ve managed to make are about the dangers of …
Let the joyous news be spread! This just in from weather.com: the forecast for Saturday in Cambridge says that though you may suffer a brain injury or be driven to madness by the vuvuzela’s buzz, you will not die of hypothermia like you did two years ago. Do: wear a coat, and factor in …
If you, like me, have ever found yourself stumbling through Yale fight songs in a crowd of people who seem to all know the words, you should check out this very practical workshop in Davenport just two days before the big day. Here’s the blurb:
What? Don’t know any Yale fight songs? For shame! But – …
Students at our evil twin school are already decked out in their Game shirts. Cambridge residents are even starting to notice the ironic t-shirt rivalry: my radio journalism college seminar had a guest speaker who skyped with the class from Cambridge. He said, “I think there’s a big game happening soon. I’ve seen the t-shirts”. This cool one, riffing on …
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.
What is “The Game?
Where’s Scene?
the other Game.
Now that we know all their secrets, do you think we can win?
For those of you who spend more time on the Bullblog than on Sportsnation.
Unless you’re on the Glee Club, you probably don’t know more than “Bull Dog” and the first line to “Boola Boola.”
Nonpareil for accessories is the blue and white J. Press Yale scarf, but the runner up is a J. Press scarf colored for your college.
Assumedly, the YCC chose Thursday because they know that by Friday, half of Harvard will be staying on campus and they are worried a low turnout will embarrass them in front of our neighbors to the north.
While we at Bullblog HQ eat mostly Greek yogurt for breakfast, we can understand that others like a good bacon and egg before ec 10. Our hearts go out to Harvard.
