Yale vs Harvard: The Rivalry 20/11/06
These prestigious Ivy league universities have seen a historic rivalry. It's similar to TN DT rivalry in AIESEC India ;-)
I went to this Football match at Harvard between Yale and Harvard. It was a very important match for Yale to win the Ivy League Championship. It was the last chance after Yale lost to Princeton last weekend. So there was huge excitement and the stadium was packed.
The history says in total Yale has scored more than Harvard in total. But since last 5 years only Harvard was winning. So Yale had less hopes this year as well. The rivalry between Harvard and Yale is for the prestige of the institutes and it's like their own ego which clashes quite often ;-). Almost everyone at the match was wearing something cursing Yale or Harvard. Here are some of the clips:-
I myself was definitely more loyal to Yale as I love the school. Also they are richer I guess ;-)... hehe. Yale has this wonderful architecture which Harvard can't even imagine to build. I was quite disappointed by it's conventional architecture. So I did not like it too much. Some stereotypes about Harvard are they party less and study more..I could see it when they closed a party at 1 am :-(
So the match began next day and it turned out to be damn exciting. Yale build a lead quite initially only and continued it till the end...beating Harvard by 34-13 !! Voahhhhh !! This was awesome. A Victory after 5 years. People went crazy and they were jumping in the stadium from their seats. I was feeling as if people are crossing the berlin wall...hahah ! It was enormous!!
Another intesresting fact is MIT always tries to play some prank at Yale-Harvard matches to mark their presence. Last time they did it in 2001 and they did it this year as well, So I was lucky to see it !! The nude man ran in the ground in the middle of the game with MIT written at his back..it was hilarious !!! hahaha
It was great fun to be in Cambridge and visiting Harvard, specially the stay at Erin's place (Juli's room mate). Her house is magnificent. This was an amazing place...I mean I donno but this was a beautiful house. I took a picture of almost every corner of the house. My dream house will be like this only ;-)
and yeah ...there's a famous roll call by Yalies:-
Harvard Sucks..
and Princeton doesn't matter !!
Kudos to Yale !!!...hahaha
