Great article o real student sections. I wish they would talk about ours...well the tradition is that 2 people stay for the second half. They are usually left because they were too inebriated to walk out with their cohorts.

In 1996, the Yale Precision Marching Band decided it would no longer play "The Stripper" at the end of the third quarter. That torpedoed the 25-year-old Saybrook Strip, during which students of Saybrook College (an undergrad dorm) chanted "Bif, bop, bam, bip! We are Saybrook, watch us strip!" then got naked in the frigid Connecticut air. "We refused to let the Strip die," recalls Dan Fingerman, Class of '00, who was later elected Saybrook president in recognition of his stand for the Strip. "Three of us took a stripped lap around the field during the Columbia game in 1996, carrying the Saybrook flag. The Yale police caught up with us at our seats and identified us as the only three people getting dressed." The band still refuses to play along, but the Saybrook Strip lives on, sometimes when a visiting school's band breaks into the tune. "When we play Harvard, there are almost as many alums stripping as students," says Fingerman, a lawyer in San Jose.

Ah...a school that believes in traditions. Wish we did.

You aren't allowed to believe in traditions. Somehow it makes you automatically an aggie.

I also can't imagine nudity in Ford without tons of arrests and everyone on here complaining about it harming their young daughters.

I would think that would be hard to do without yelling.

Not a problem, just limit the activity to the coeds--mid-fourth quarter, I believe our attendance problem would be solved.
