    In reply to The 99th Percentile Bowl: 2009's Harvard-Yale Game, A Compiled Air-to-Ground Report
    Here's the dirty little secret: there's nothing particularly glamorous about being an Ivy League grad. (I didn't go to Harvard or Yale, but have 2 Ivy degrees, with lots of relatives/friends/co-workers who are Ivy grads.) If you look at us (not just me, but my cohort, in our 40s), you'd probably call us successful.

    But we're not Kennedys or Bushes. We tend to make decent money, but we're still dealing with mortgages, trying to avoid getting fat, filling out paperwork all day, figuring out who's going to drive the kids to soccer practice, wondering if we're going to end up divorced, trying to keep our values and our sanity intact.

    I want to my alma mater's game Saturday. Game sucked, but beautiful weather, and a nice way to spend some time with my kids. It's nice to reminisce; I had a good college experience.

    But Sunday when I did the grocery shopping, no one at the store cared where I went to college. Today I'm back at work, which is alternately boring and interesting, just like always. It's not any different from my friends and neighbors who went to State U, Adequate Catholic University with Famous Athletic Program, or Liberal Arts College You've Never Heard Of.

    This isn't meant to be a whine; I recognize that I've got a pretty good life, particularly on the monetary side. But if going to an Ivy League school was as wonderful as Kamer makes it seem, why are so many of us wasting time commenting on Gawker?

    Smithhimself was at The Game on the Yale side. A cheerful day with the usual drinking that continued at the Elizabethan Club. Compared to watching Nebraska or Florida play football, the Ivy League is really... well, it's high school level sports activity. But the sky was blue, my shirt was blue and, yes, a good time was had by all.

    I would say that one aspect of the contest is not false. I truly do believe that Harvard is a vile institution.

    The game is stupid; however, visiting spectators are pretty much guaranteed to be drunk and laid by the end of the day, so.

    I never understood the level of pride these schools have in their shitty football. Especially when you can go to Stanford, where the Heisman candidate trying to lead the school to the Rose Bowl is a Management Science and Engineering major who plans on getting a JD/MBA. Everyone at The Game deserves a good noogie.

    My husband is at the game w/two of the three wild ones. His brother played football @ Yale in the mid 80's. Family tradition to attend this game.

    Harvard fans are like Red Sox fans. That isn't a compliment. Then again, Yale produced Bush.
