<p>I attend a high school in Dallas, Texas and the Yale coach has been down here more than once this year to scout our juniors. Um needless to say I was EXTREMELY jealous, especially since our guys, while good at football, are pretty dumb.</p>
<p>From Byerly's article on Jeff Witt:
Schools of Interest: Harvard
Interest Level: Med[ium] interest</p>
<p>I'm glad Harvard takes recruits who are only marginally excited about the school.</p>
<p>That said, I'm sure this is a problem with most schools. I must saym however, that the Yale recruit[s?] I met were all excited about the school, and it wasn't just requisite school pride.</p>
<p>You will note that young Mr. Witt was all charged up after his campus visit, however.... even learned how to handle the "H-Bomb"!!</p>
<p>This is the quote I love:</p>
<p>"Before I went up [to Harvard]," Witt said recently, "I had an idea maybe they would be kind of nerdy. But they were just absolutely normal in every way."</p>
<p>The H-Bomb is great.</p>
<p>Are there t-shirts with H-BOMB as the central part of the design?</p>
<p>Not that I've seen. Being obvious about it would be inappropriate in any case.</p>
<p>Vivaldi-Harvard (and I'm sure Yale, too) tends not to be interested in the kids who are interested in them. They tend to go after high school kids who want to play at the Ohio States or Michigans, but are just a little too small/short/slow/etc (and have quality academic records). Kids like me, who WANT to play at Harvard are left to walk on :-P.</p>
<p>Hey, maybe I'll cheer you on at the Game as a member of the Harvard Pep Squad! ;)</p>
<p>Oh, I'm not actually playing football. That walkon comment was more hypothetical.</p>
<p>George Bush is a former member of the Yale Pep Squad... I think that might make up for the Harvard PS embarrassment.</p>
