Our colors are neither Yale's nor Harvard's.

Harvard has moved away from the original Harvard red. We have moved away from our original Yale Blue to a much brighter blue. We have the better version of both colors.

Favorite chant from last night..."Harvard re-jects". Of course, we wont talk about what that makes us, but it was humorous nonetheless.

Speak for yourself. I got into Harvard.

Anyway, I couldn't decide if I liked the rejects chant -- kind of lame for us to be doing academic smack against Yale, but at least it was unique. They also did a "Butterfingers" chant that was good. While the booing of #11 was funny, it distracted everyone from otherwise cheering or making noise while Yale was on defense. They should have gone from booing to general loudness whenever he passed instead of going from booing to nothing. It was better in the 2nd half though.

I did like the kid with the "Kale" sweatshirt next to a kid in the Harvard sweatshirt in the Mob though.

I always think it is funny to see academic smack on ivy's - since they never hear it and I think it just kind of befuddles them.

Was fun to see Moody kick it up a notch on a Sunday afternoon in the second half after Tolberts slam. The place stayed loud to the end after that - and you could see the win disappear in the faces of the yale players.

It is way past time to drop the Harvard Red/Yale Blue reference. We are 100 years old and its time to own our colors. This is just as ridiculous as the aggies singing "saw the varsity's horns off......." It just smacks of wannabe's.........

Where was W?

Also cannot believe that our students fell for the "Sit Down" shtick during Nic's FT. If they don't know better than that, they shouldn't have gotten into an Ivy.

Yes, that was amateur hour right there. Basketball awareness is a work in progress at times.
