Harvard v. Yale

This is a football rivalry second only to Army v. Navy, and both share the advantage of not being minor league schools for professional football careers. You see better football -- not better athletes but better football, better competition, better fair play. And far far far less arrogance.

I didn't know which team to root for. I have a soft spot for Harvard because in high school I worked for the Harvard Observatory monitoring variable stars, one of the few teens in the country to do so. Yet I fell in love with Yale when I went to a hypertext conference there in the early 90s. Eventually I decided childhood wins and rooted for Harvard, who is leading in the 4th quarter.
