Individualism is so 2010. Everyone you see this weekend will fit into one of these five categories. Guaranteed.
1. “Y” Knitted Sweater
This Yale classic should be instated as the official uniform for Harvard-Yale weekend. It’s classy, warm, comfortable, and most importantly, Yale themed. If you own this sweater, wear it. If you don’t, trust us, go …
Yesterday, the New York Times reported that Coach Tom Williams has purported a suspiciously confusing history concerning his own application for the Rhodes scholarship. Williams, a graduate of Stanford University, said he withdrew his application to the Rhodes program prior to the announcement of the finalists. According to the article, it’s actually unclear whether Williams applied …
…happened in 1982, when MIT tunneled under the football field and made a giant weather balloon appear as if out of nowhere, proving definitively that MIT is far nerdier (read: better at doing stuff weather balloons) than either Harvard or Yale.
The so/so video turf battle going on before the Game led me to the world of Harvard on Youtube, and it was an adventure. Here’s a gem from 2008 that meshes well with Harvard’s “we are the best elite” Game theme this year. In the video, which I encourage you not to watch all the …
That’s Harvard’s unofficial slogan for this year’s Game. It’s on their pinnies and t-shirts, and there’s even a Twitter account @OccupyYale (still waiting for that first tweet!). Their Game-day apparel website does feature some other choice catchphrases, like “No one ever says ‘I want to go to Yale when I grow up’” (really?), but Occupy …
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 …
This Friday, in honor of the Game and our guests from the North, YCC is throwing a huge party in Commons. It will feature Switch, of Major Lazer, along with the winners of Yale and Harvard student DJ contests in a duel before the main show. As if that wasn’t enough excitement, the party will …
Well, it’s Game week, which means that Yale is about to get saturated with anti-Harvard shirts, sunglasses, and ‘tudes. Some people even set out to make a video, which is coming out tomorrow night. You can check out the official release countdown here. The website is called “Harvard Still Sucks,” so I have no idea …

Brian Williams joined in on the many many news sources covering the biggest double booking ever: quarterback Patrick Witt’s simultaneous opportunities to play in the Game and interview for a Rhodes Scholarship. Check out the video above for the coverage on Brian Williams’ Nightly …
The Game is now less than 26 days away. The City is 80.8 miles away. The Bandit is Burt Reynolds’s best role. Try The Grouper, it’s great!
Why is it that these things deserve such capitalization? What makes these particular items standout from the category to which they belong in such a way that they claim …
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.
Please tell me Williams was drunk…
Here’s our no-bull guide to the Tailgate, with all the types of U-hauls represented.

Past, present, future predict Yale winning!
Now that we know all their secrets, do you think we can win?
Presented without further commented, the Google Trend comparison of Sam Tsui and the Game.
I have never bought tickets to the Game—perhaps my favorite day of the year—knowing that the crazy fervor of the halftime would allow me easy access to the stadium.
