Prep school rivalries

<p>Oh really? What a cooincidence! My dad hated it too, lol.</p>

<p>Is it just me, or is there more animosity from Exeter toward Andover than vice versa…? Maybe Exeter students just have more time on their hands?</p>

<p>Generally, there is a spirit week around the second week of November building up to a football game, or a series of sports events including football. The football rival is usually the recognized rival school.</p>

<p>runefx, I don't know if I would call it "animosity", it is more like a fun thing. I know a lot of kids who go to Exeter who have friends and even relatives who are at Andover and vice versa.<br>
p.s. I don't know of many Exeter kids who have a whole lot of "extra" time on their hands!! :)</p>

<p>It seemed to me, from the viewbooks at least, that Andover cares more about the rivalry than Exeter does.</p>

<p>It may not be a good source, but I've just noticed more videos posted on the internet (Youtube...) by Exeter students making fun of Andover. I haven't seen anything like that from Andover students. My viewpoint.</p>

<p>runefx- are you sure it's the students that are posting the clips? maybe they're not the students.....</p>

<p>They look like clips posted by the students.</p>

<p>runefx or tommeister- can i c the clips? Not that i dont believe you, but i just wanna see what exeter students put on there.</p>

<p>Here's one: <a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2761869287448912291&q=phillips+exeter&hl=en%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2761869287448912291&q=phillips+exeter&hl=en&lt;/a> .</p>

<p>thank you runefx.</p>

<p>That's a funny vid. I like the part when they're filming the two guys who say that Andover is so much better than Exeter, but they they can't come up with any reasons.</p>

<p>Wow, I never knew Exeter students were THAT "unsportmanlike". Well, I think that's just a bad group of students in Exeter. I'm gonna take this video into consideration while looking at the schools.</p>

<p>That was a funny video, I didn't think it was mean. It showed school spirit. I did note that is was made in 2004.</p>

<p>Yeah, it wasn't meant to be serious!</p>

<p>You are being sarcastic right, Andover/Exeter?</p>

<p>Well, Andover/Exeter, I'd hate to be the reason you don't choose Exeter...so...take it with a grain of salt (lol). I admit that even I had to laugh at the video. It annoyed me the first time I saw it, though.</p>

<p>American social culture, especially on videos can be hard to interpret.</p>

<p>i was sarchastic.....although my sarchasm...failed.</p>

<p>Yet again my online sarcasm detector fails. I'm gonna have to get some new batteries for this old thing! :D</p>
