Princeton wins 34-14
Pregame:
Who needs invisibility when you’ve got… The Princeton University Band!
“Princeton Cannon Song”
Yesterday, we played at the unveiling of Shapiro Walk – we got to thinking, what does Yale need to unveil to make their campus livable?
Forming a little y for yes, oh yes, the Band asks what you’re doing with that camera.

And now, it’s the

Halftime
Thank God, that’s over, and now, for your halftime entertainment, it’s the Princeton University Band.

Much to Yale’s dismay, it finds itself tied with Harvard in the US news rankings … at Number 2. Cheer up Yale, we know you’re not really like Harvard. For instance:
Doing some blowing of our own, no, the good kind, no, the other good kind. The band watches Yale come tumbling down.
(Band forms a pedestal, plays Joshua)
With options like Harvard and Yale, it’s a good thing Princeton is offering salvation to more students by increasing the size of the student body. But upperclass, conservative geniuses with Green hair aren’t the only people who stand to benefit. Alumni waiting to name things will have a whole new residential college up for grabs, and with fewer people to reject, the Admissions office will have more time to practice their award winning flamenco dancing Forming Dean Fred’s castanets, the band says “OLE”
(Band forms castanets, plays Children of Sanchez)
This year, Dean Fred isn’t the only one dancing Yale is entering their fourth century, and showing it. Here are some suggestions about how Yale should make the most of their tercentennial.
And finally, we should all take this opportunity to reflect on what a Yalie really is.

"Princeton Forward"
Much to Yale’s dismay, it finds itself tied with Harvard in the US news rankings … at Number 2. Cheer up Yale, we know you’re not really like Harvard. For instance:
- Harvard is known primarily for their professional schools, Yale on the other hand gains recognition from its Law and Medical schools
- Harvard honors don’t mean anything, while honors at Yale mean nothing
- Harvard’s annual giving rate is much lower than Princeton’s, but Yale alums give much less than Princeton Alums
- And perhaps the most striking difference, Harvard Blows, while Yale Sucks
Doing some blowing of our own, no, the good kind, no, the other good kind. The band watches Yale come tumbling down.

- Drop Acid On your library Again
- Suck Harder
- Play Pin the Tail on the Bulldog
- Break out the party hats, noisemakers and bulletproof vests
- Pet the Bulldog in unnatural ways
