A game with a rich history [of vomiting].

November 18, 2007

I’m back from New Haven, where I hung out with Fletch and Lauren at the “Big Game,” which is the annual battle between Yale and Harvard’s football teams. It was pretty great, not the least because we didn’t spend a single minute actually watching the game. Rather we wandered a parking lot stuffed to the brim with inebriated Ivy leaguers (both current students and alums).

We saw a lot of entertaining stuff (a huge number of fur coats, a couple of old high school friends, some very drunk old people, an awesome game of stump, and some guy falling face first into a pile of garbage. We spent most of the day hanging with Yale’s School of Forestry. They were lovable hippies and they were quite hospitable.

It was a fun trip, aside from the bus rides down and back. If you have a chance to see these two teams play each other, I highly encourage you to go (and when you get there, stay in the parking lot).

PS: Harvard beat Yale, winning the Ivy League championship. Congratulations, Crimson.

PPS: the Redskins just lost again. I didn’t think they had a chance of beating the Cowboys, but of course they managed to put themselves in position to win, only to squander it as usual. Jason Campbell is looking pretty good, at least. All we need now is some decent cornerbacks and wide receivers and a healthy safety corps. And an offensive line. Then we’ll be right back in this thing.
