Dartmouth says it won't bargain with basketball players' union

4. You beat me to it! I live in New Haven and every fall we attend the Ivy League games at the Yale Bowl.

A performance by the Yale Precision Marching Band, which is a parody of Big 10 schools elaborate bands, is a halftime experience. Some may be drawn from Yale's elite graduate school of music; usually, they are not. These band members march erratically onto the field and form into bumbling formations. It is a lot of fun to watch but the videos are awful. Cole Porter, class of '13, wrote the fight song "Boola Boola, Eli Yale!" which is mindless stuff but still sung at Yale games. Half time presentations are not the precise and choreographed half time entertainment we get in Big Ten school football games.

At least Dartmouth retired their student in Algonquin Native American costume doing war dances and whooping on the field at half time. "Smartmouth" has improved ever since it finally went co-ed.
