So last week, I made a trek out to the school down the street for The Game. This was my first time in all four years that I'd been at MIT that I had the chance to go to the game.
We started off by visiting the undergraduate party for food galore.
My friend, Steph '07
Me and Elyse '07 (I have a weird dancing face)
Mitra, Steph, and Me
Now the game was one thing, but I think we decided that the more clever competition was in the t-shirt designed specifically for the game.

And WAIT!
This really is not just a rivalry of two schools, MIT is in the mix too.
MIT has a long standing tradition of hacking the football game.
From Wikipedia:The most famous exploit was carried out at Harvard Stadium during the second quarter in 1982, when a Harvard score was immediately followed by a huge black weather balloon, previously installed under the 45 yard line by students from MIT as the letters painted on its side proclaimed, slowly inflating until it exploded, spraying talcum powder over the field (Harvard won, 45-7).

This year was no exception:

See if you can spot the hack.
