<p>anyone know if Dartmouth won their football game?</p>
<p>We lost this one, something like 46-20. At least our record can't be worse than last year :D</p>
<p>so, did any 09's rush the field today?</p>
<p>I believe about a dozen did, all at once. We also had a humorous incident where one of our Sousaphonists set his instrument on fire, which pretty much destroyed it :D</p>
<p>Please explain "rush the field." Is this a Homecoming tradition?</p>
<p>Yeah, to a degree. Supposedly, back in the "good old days", 'shmen were led in an orderly fashion onto the field. Since then, the tradition has turned into a mad dash of one or several freshmen across the field (usually during halftime). For whatever reason, this was made illegal about 20 years ago; those trying it should ideally be able to outrun the police, but if you're caught, you're fined and charged with trespassing. So it's kind of a bootleg tradition, if you will.</p>
<p>Very funny, thanks for sharing. :-)</p>
<p>Sure--in fact, here's the very article I was in the middle of when the rush happened:</p>
<p>A somewhat funny read...</p>
