OH RIGHT! Introducing The Worst A Cappella Group In The Ivy League

by Maureen O'Connor | November 6, 2007 at 5:00 pm

We'd like to send out our congratulations to Penn's Chord on Blues, who -- by a tally of 461 to 133 -- were voted the Worst A Cappella Group in the Ivy League over the weekend, defeating the combined strengths of Cornell's Absolute A Cappella and Dartmouth's Cords. We love you guys and hope you continue to get worse, so that this world might once and for all eliminate a cappella in toto. Thanks for playing! Prize is in the mail... -ish.

And let's kick up the robot band one last time with the winning video:

Worst Ivy League A Cappella Tournament, Day Three: The Semifinals

by Jim Newell | October 31, 2007 at 7:35 pm

Welcome to the semifinals, dearest IvyGate readers! All of the groups have been introduced, and half of them have been destroyed forever. In the final two first round matches yesterday, the #7 Princeton Roaring 20 upset the #2 Brown Jabberwocks, 64% to 36%. It was a shocking rebuke to what we thought was an algebraically infallible seeding system -- we put a whole four minutes into picking the bracket Monday afternoon, you people! *Tears.* Anyway, in yesterday's other match and the closest to date, #3 Absolute A Cappella (Cornell) edged off #6 Living Water (Yale), 58% to 42%. It appears from the comments that Living Water presented a quandary for voters -- they were competent, but they also kept singing about the blood of Christ. And as we all know, Jesus gets no love on Halloween.

Semis, after the jump.
