For the second year in a row, the Harvard Crimson dominated the Yale Bulldogs, shutting out their longtime rivals 10-0 in the 125th edition of the Game.

Of course, this result should come as a surprise to no one, especially after Yale’s 37-6 beating last year. Even those wearing the tacky blue-and-white sweaters must admit that it was wholly expected.

Still, what did surprise everyone was the extent to which the annual tailgate remained untethered by the city of Boston’s strict alcohol laws and the University’s initiative to enforce them.

The Crimson reports:

Four Mather House residents swayed atop a rickety table, raised their cups to the air and pointed to a crude cardboard clock. The inebriated quartet began a rousing countdown of their sixth round of “Crunk Time.” Cold droplets of beer sprayed on their fellow House-mates, who reciprocated by chanting along and then chugging their drinks.

Alcohol flowed freely at the tailgates organized by the House Committees (HoCo) as students celebrated the 125th Harvard-Yale game on Saturday and the 10-0 Harvard victory.

[…]The new rules forbade the distribution of hard alcohol at the tailgate. But, Eliot House’s cardboard cow dispensed vodka, in addition to standard boxed wine, from its udders.

Harvard students fighting Prohibition in the modern era? Who would’ve thought they had it in them?

Hopefully, next year Yale actually puts up a fight, because as it stands, the tailgate is the only real draw to the Game.
