Lawn Party Crash, or Before Princeton Crushed Columbia’s Homecoming Spirit

by Robyn Schneider | October 4, 2008 at 11:30 pm

Before Princeton decimated Columbia's tiny, optimistic dream of actually celebrating after their homecoming game, IvyGate ventured forth to the tailgate with a camera in tow to capture the hope on everyone's faces and the light beers (two ID's required to drink!) in some people's hands.  As to actual homecoming coverage, eh, we'll leave that to the Bwog.  (In case you care, 27-24 Princeton.)

More photos, including Princetonians in doofy boater hats and hot girls in track bottoms, after the jump:

    I haven’t been here that long and I’m anything but a football fan but goddamnit I’m sick of being the ivy’s bitch when it comes to sport. These kids are getting scholarships every year….Win SOMETHING. ANYTHING! Something made of plastic and glitter will do.

    I thought the point of Ivy League athletics was that the athletes DON’T get scholarships?

    That’s the great thing about Columbia. Most of us are big fans of the school, but are too distracted by things like cocaine, booze, hookers (of whatever gender to be politically correct), and money to give a shit about an Ivy football game. I’m an alum with the entire next week off, and might have considered stopping by NYC if I’d known we had a homecoming, which I did not. Instead I flew to Paris and lived it up all weekend. I did catch USC v. Oregon at a weird Canadian bar on the left bank, b/c that game actually matters.

    You guys kick ass at fencing. That’s something, isn’t it? And no, Columbia 2011, they don’t get athletic scholarships.
