Harvard Memories: Harvard Yale Game

The Harvard-Yale game is supposed to be LEGENDARY.  It’s simply known as The Game. So, who was I to miss out on the opportunity to participate in something that was a Harvard tradition?

First things first:  Let’s talk about the tail gate party!

The one advantage that we older students have over the younger students is that we can buy good alcohol and throw one heck of a tailgate party.  Case in point: The Bloody Mary bar.  Yes, our tailgate party had a Bloody Mary bar and mimosas. (In our minds this was perfectly reasonable since we were starting to drink at 10AM)

Breakfast in a cup

This drink was the breakfast of champions!  Absolute Peppar, V-8, cheese, salami, olives, pickled green beans, Tabasco and celery!  Yum!

The game started at Noon.  Guess what I was doing at noon?  Hint: I was still outside the stadium.

Once I was inside the stadium…the game was OK.  It was all kinds of fuzzy though. I barely remember the half time show (Aztec temples and a whale?) but not much else. I blame it on the alcohol.

(The white thing in the background is the whale)

Oh yeah.  Harvard won.
