The Game Barely Deserves Obnoxious Caps This Year

The Game Barely Deserves Obnoxious Caps This YearEvery year at The Game, there’s always The Jackass who takes The Pregame so seriously, he never makes it to, let alone remembers, The Game itself.

This year, it looks like some students are skipping The Game again, only this time it’s deliberate. Now that Yale won’t be subsidizing the $60 round-trip bus ride to Cambridge, and Harvard won’t be tacitly condoning reckless inebriation, Elis are trying to get psyched about this weekend’s match against Princeton instead. Not one of The eight tailgate spaces set aside for Yale at The Harvard-Yale game has been taken, according to The Crimson. All this predicts a lackluster game — at this point, The team may not even bother to show.

But wait, there’s hope! Some Yalies are fighting The Harvard-Yale bureaucracy with the best weapon available: wealth. A tipster in New Haven tells us “at least one group of seniors has hired a 15-person limo to ferry it north in style. A competitive price and the ability to pack open containers of alcohol were both cited as enticements.” Clever way to stick it to The athletic department brass? Sure. The reason people hate Ivy Leaguers? Absolutely.
