Harvard 30 - Yale 24, 3OT

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>For the fifth year in a row, the Crimson ride victorious over the Elis of New Haven. Harvard trailed most of the game, and was down 21-10 as late as the fourth quarter, but rallied late behind Sophomore QB Liam O'Hagan, Junior RB Cliff Dawson, and a fierce defense. Freshman (and pal of mine) Alex Breaux caught a TD pass, setting up an O'Hagan sneak for the two point conversion. In OT, lots of turnovers (4!) and a missed field goal. Eventually, Dawson scored on a 3 yard TD run and chaos ensued.</p>

<p>Additionally, it was a very fun weekend (although Yale's "no parties the night before the game" rule was pretty idiotic, and resulted in masses of students wandering around New Haven all night). Harvard definitely had funnier t-shirts, but I will admit that Yale's architecture is pretty amazing.</p>

<p>I was at the game (I posted so in the Yale section) and it was pretty damn sweet. Harvard kids had some pretty funny T's I must say also. I love the ones that flat out say something negative towards Yale.</p>

<p>i just finished watching stanford cal game. cal took the victory home again. i think 4th year in a row.</p>

<p>Such an amazing game.</p>

<p>I didn't see that Yale enforced the "no gatherings" rule in any way whatsoever. </p>

<p>There was a ton of pride, clever Crimson t-shirts, and getting to meet the alumni was amazing. All of the group that I went with came back to Cambridge incredibly happy about being Harvard students. Our entire bus cheered when we crossed the Charles.</p>

<p>Which clever shirts were you referring to?</p>

6

<p>I thought most of the Harvard shirts were pretty funny. </p>

<p>My roommate wore one that said "I went to New Haven and all I got was shot.", and I really liked the one that said "No one ever says, 'I want to grow up and go to Yale'." My t-shirt of choice has a picture of Bush on it and the caption reads "You'd have to be an idiot to go to Yale."</p>

<p>I was at the game too. It was definitely awesome. The tailgates were pretty fun; free drinks, food, and all that. I loved the T-shirts too, in fact, I was wearing one of the "you'd have to be an idiot to go to Yale" t-shirts. Winning was the best feeling of all though... too bad we didn't take down the stupid goalpost.</p>

8

<p>It was a great game. It was televised live on cable all the way out here in San Diego.</p>

<p>Let's not talk about that Stanford-Cal match.</p>

10

<p>I did see highlights of Harvard-Yale on Sports center. Pretty amazing stuff.<br>
What's up with all you watching Cal-Stanford. I was definitely watching Michigan Ohio State and Penn State Michigan State. Much better games.
BTW. Are Harvard football players smart? Or are they recruited based solely on athletics?</p>

11

<p>Byerly-Most of the good t-shirts have been mentioned. Others included: "Big dog, small balls" "eat poop, drink pee, go to yale" "yale sucks, whatev" "yuck fale" "harvard, my anti-yale" "Burninating the safety schools, burninating the yalies" "Harvard est 1636. better than yale since 1703"</p>

<p>Maguo-go bucks! The Ivy league has a system for football recruits based on academic index. Each team is allowed a certain number of recruits in each band. Many football players are walk ons, and got in with no help from their sport. Some, in the lowest bands, would almost certainly not have gotten in if it were not for football. They still have GPAs and SAT scores that are well above the national mean, however.</p>

Lindsey! That's your president.</p>

<p>Of course he's as much a Harvard man (with his grad degree) as Clinton was (with HIS grad degree.)</p>

14

<p>It's unfortunate that in the game that really mattered (Rhodes Scholarships) Harvard won nothing while Yale, Princeton, Duke and Navy among others did. I guess Harvard has their priorities mixed up, congrats on winning a game in which you are honestly pathetic.</p>

<p>Mr/ Kelly is a student at the Kennedy School of Government, which - last time I checked - was at Harvard.</p>

<p>Previous Harvard Rhodes winners in this century:</p>

<p>2001: 6
2002: 5
2003: 5
2004: 7</p>

16

<p>For other schools it's big news if they get a Rhodes scholar. For Harvard it's big news if they don't.</p>

17

<p>"I went to New Haven and all I got was shot"</p>

<p>hahaha
man, i want to be at that game next year
:)</p>

18

<p>Well, since we're on the topic of "clever" shirts. There's this kid at my school who often wears a shirt that says "Yale: Harvard for dummies"</p>

<p>And maguo, why in the world would you watch the MSU-Penn State game?? MSU has been sucking it up forever. So much so in fact that I stopped watching MSU after the Northwestern game because it depressed me too much.</p>

19

<p>Prefontaine-How is the Harvard - Yale football game "pathetic?" It wasn't the best game I've ever seen played (lots of turnovers), but it was still quality, hard-fought, hard-hitting Ivy football.</p>

<p>It's so disheartening how you guys distort the facts. The one guy maybe could be tangentially related to harvard, but isn't this the undergrad board? Maybe I'm lost, but I always thought this was geared towards undergrads. Isn't that why dooley has a specially designated law/med/grad school section. Anyways, coureour please retain that arrogance. Such pomposity will do you well in your age.</p>
