<p>Instead of bashing other Ivies over "inferior" academics, we should have more fun with it. For instance, we don't have anything on campus named after Dr. Nuclear Option (though props to the filibustering students). However, we are named after a pacifist religious sect rather than a ferocious animal. Of course, we are thus oxymoronic (Fighting Quakers!) and not a cliche animal like a tiger... etc etc. That is more fun than arguing USNWR or conflicting definitions of prestige in my book.</p>
<p>I never really took the Fighting Quaker thing as oxymoronic... I always assumed "fighting" was in the more nonphysical nonviolent sense</p>
<p>So the Penn offensive line attempts to persuade the Harvard defensive line to yield ground by a process of vigorous oral argument?</p>
<p>wow, i am a pretty sophisticated person, but i do not talk like this is in person, sure i read articles that talk like this in the new york times, but u ppl r insane, using like SAT words per every two words. Gosh....</p>
<p>SAT words?</p>
<p>Byerly: Ah... perhaps you are right :P haha</p>
<p>I have always considered it oxymoronic. Byerly said it best. But beyond that, the Penn Band utilizes it to the max, their full name is "The</a> Huge, the Enormous, the Well-Endowed, Undefeated, Ivy-League Champion, University of Pennsylvania Oxymoronic Fighting Quaker Marching Band!!"</p>
<p>Byerly that was one of the best posts you've ever made.</p>
<p>I second that, haha.</p>
