"The Game" (not the other, better game)

We went to the 125th edition of "The Game!" Harvard vs. Yale is always listed as one of the biggest rivalries in sports, but people seemed much less fanatical than just about any other rivalry we've seen. Someone described it as being similar to England vs. France - sure, they used to clash on a global scale, but now the rivalry is a bit less significant... it's only a big deal because it used to actually BE a big deal. Still, it was crazy to go into such a historic stadium with such (relatively) little football players. So different. However, it was completely natural to cheer for the red team and against the dark blue team with the big block "Y" on their heads. About 50 people from the section all went together and sat in the frigid icebox of a top section. By halftime we were all frozen most of the way through.
