The 140th Harvard-Yale Game: Fandom Tiny Mic Edition

The Game: Harvard Yale is celebrating its 140th year. We tiny-mic’d some Crimson supporters.

The Game is a living chronicle of academic prestige, social identity, and American history. Harvard’s football program began in 1873, with the first match between Harvard and Yale two years later in 1875. In the words of Margaret-Ann Simonetta ’19, M.A. ’24, a doctoral candidate specializing in fandom, anthropology, and cultural studies, The Game is a “prime example of the power behind fandoms and their strong-bonded communities.”

Today, Harvard-Yale retains not only its feisty supporters, but also the reassuring timelessness of an unbreakable tradition, in a world of rapid change.

Go Crimson!
