<p>Seriously rubbing it in:</p>

<p>Wow, that IS seriously rubbing it in.</p>
<p>I think we all know it's in good fun, though. Very funny, in fact.</p>
<p>The Dartmouth-Columbia newspaper rivalry a month or so ago was pretty clever, too, but Columbia started off really immaturely, so it doesn't have as much of a chance as this one does to turn into something classic.</p>
<p>I sat in the stands and watched the slaughter. Yea for the Crimson!</p>
<p>LOL. harvard arrogance at its best. i love this school</p>
<p>Well, I hope H won't be eating those words anytime soon!</p>
<p>this year will be good for football recruits at yale admissions, eh? they need to keep those alumni happy and generous :D.</p>
<p>Harvard took advantage of a deserted Yale campus to lambaste Yale. Harvard was in school Monday, Yale is off the whole week. No Yale Daily News. No opportunity to rebut. Harvard Crimson 1, Yale Daily News 0.</p>
<p>"A backwards, tribal excess, Yale cannot be allowed to muddy the pristine waters of American academia any longer. That is why the Yale Corporation should make the prudent business move in our increasingly globalized world and outsource sucking. Set up a Yale in Malaysia, pay your professors in grams of lint and watch the profit margins soar. Yale might even be able to compete with Harvards endowment, but only if it could teach its students to sew knock-off Harvard hoodies on the side. In any case, Yalies currently huddled behind New Havens neo-gothic would end up at the same place: working the milkshake machine at that Dairy Queen off I-95." (from the Crimson article)</p>
<p>The game was fun to watch and beating Yale is good fun everyday, no matter what sport. Even humorous Yale bashing can be fun from time to time.</p>
<p>That being said, I must say that this article is way over the top. It's supposed to be funny, I know, but it has too many serious elements not to come across as a prime example of penetrating arrogance. As much as I like to identify with the Crimson football team, as little can I condone such sort of 'editorials' in the Crimson. I truly think this article is a shame for Harvard.</p>
<p>Ironic case in point: I just read a book by a Harvard professor about the importance of confidence for successful organizations. ****iness and complacency, she argues however, invariably end winning streaks. I am sure she is right.</p>
<p>I agree with Crimsonalum about the editorial. I also am an alumn of the Harvard Crimson and found the editorial to be arrogant, humorless and puerile. Yale bashing is fun, not to be taken seriously. It's just a fun rivalry.</p>
<p>Northstarmum, were you one of them who put up white/red cards saying: we suck ? </p>
<p>Yale ingenuity at its best! I didn't think the whole stealing-the-flag thing was too cool, but the cards? Pure genius! Go Yale!</p>
