Someone should make a dancing red banana with a HARVARD SUCKS sign.

If anybody cares, Harvard sucks even further as the Cornell University Rugby Football Club beat Harvard at our new pitch this weekend to advance to the final 4 of the Northeast regional.

Further evidence of Harvard's suckitude is always welcome.

Dartmouth swallows.

As a former rugger, albeit only while in grad school, I care.  Thanks for the update.

Students from Harvard could care less about Harvard/ Cornell hockey...Dartmouth and Yale are much bigger rivals. Can anyone provide insight as to why this is a one sided rivalry? Is there a history?

There's certainly a history, though I'll leave it to others to explain that.  I can understand the Yale rivalry, what with The Game and all.  But Dartmouth?  Why?

So then why so few students at the recent Dartmouth game?  I was there.  They weren't.

Recent years Harvard has seemed to care a bit.  When I first lived in Boston in fall of 98, Lynah east would be almost entirely Cornell.  When I left Boston in 2004, it was much closer to 50/50.  Their fans were coming out for that game, not many others from what I saw.  I thnk they care now, if only because the atmosphere there for that game is actually fun!

Hmm, so for signs, do I go with "YACEY'S MOM HAS GOT IT GOING ON" or "SWALLOW SWALLOWS"?

Wouldn't you want a chance to see the team that loses in the first round of the NCAAs every year?

Harvard fans probably cross themselves whenever Cornell skates on the ice, or shows up in force in Boston. Our being there reminds them of that darkest Cantabridgean fear, that a computer error wrongly sent out the thick envelope from Harvard Admissions, and through some kind of Groundhog Day mixup they'll live their college years over again but in Ithaca, or Providence, or Middlebury ... and they'll have to earn those A's.

Cornell alums don't have that fear. Only that nightmare when we come back on campus that we still have due that last required paper for graduation.

Yale, yes.  Dartmouth?  In what, Divison I-AA Drinking?

Nothing compares to football among the Harvard community, but hockey is second, with Cornell and the Beanpot the main source of what little energy the students can manage after an entire day saving the world one joint at a time in the Square.
