We Like Sports: Yale Edition

71055_88366117374_7224866_n

This weekend is a big one for Penn sports: we've got the Line tonight (complete with new "you don't have to stay the whole time to come" rules), then an epic Penn-Yale showdown across four separate games on Saturday and Sunday. Planning on heading to Franklin or Rhodes Field (the weather will be lovely, we suggest you do)? Don't be an uneducated fan! Here's some things you can reference to prove you know more about Yale than they do about Penn, and a few things you might even be able to taunt them for.

  • They may have five presidents as alumni, but we have five Superbowl champions!
  • Speaking of presidents: their president. Our president. 'Nuff said.
  • Remember the whole "hate speech" against women controversy? Or the Peruvian artifacts controversy? Or this weird, weird situation? Ouch. Too soon? Probably.
  • They play this weird game called bladderball, which just doesn't look as fun as Hey Day. Consider using the phrase "ayo, bladder-bitch!" if  you want to get punched or something.
  • "'Hawaiian Fridays' are the rule in the Yale Football Office. Show up without a Hawaiian shirt and you risk a fine." Cool, guys. You know what we do on Fridays?
The Yale games are football at noon (Franklin Field), women's soccer at 5 and men's at 7:30 p.m. (both at Rhodes Field), and then Field Hockey on Sunday at 1 p.m. back at Franklin Field.

If you want actual sporty information about this sporty situation, check the Buzz and the Penn Athletics twitter all weekend for everything you've ever wanted, and more.
