Miles Kirkpatrick at yale football game
The author and his friends at the Yale-Harvard football game.
  • I attended the famous Harvard-Yale football game as a Yale freshman for the first time.
  • I went tailgating, stripped in the stadium, and chanted as Yale won the game.
  • The rival weekend is one of my favorite events of college so far. 

The Harvard-Yale rivalry is unlike any other, and as a Yale student, I recently learned firsthand just how deep this rivalry went.
