With the Ivy League Championship title already secured, the time has come for the Harvard football team to face its truest endeavor: beating Yale. This task is not one to be taken lightly, and though our chances for a win at The Game this year look pretty good, it’s all hands on deck. So, without further ado, here is Flyby’s foolproof strategy for how you can help Harvard win Harvard-Yale.

Step 1: Get a Spell from an Etsy Witch 🧿

This step is crucial: take the time to scroll through Etsy to find the best custom spell. Check the reviews (and vibes) so you can bring down a good curse over Yale. Bonus points if we can get as many Etsy witches casting spells as possible.

Step 2: Do a Seance on Weeks Bridge Before Leaving for New Haven

For this step, it’s important to gather as many people as possible. Tell your Quad friends to get on the next shuttle out, because it's seance time! Just like the Etsy witch, there is no one seance to get the job done. Feel free to get creative here; yell out over the Charles if you must.

Step 3: Bulldog Pinata

Mather Happy Hour had the right idea here. Hitting a bulldog piñata serves many different purposes. For one, it brings out the energy of storming the field of the Yale Bowl when we win. On top of that, it’s a good study break to let out your stress. Why go to a rage room when you can contribute to our collective victory?

Step 4: Offer A+ to Football Players

This step may not entirely be up to us students, but perhaps Dean Claybaugh had a point when she presented the suggestion…

Step 5: Sacrifice a Yalie (bonus if done at a frat)

This step is to be done as soon as you arrive in New Haven. Find your closest Yalie and offer them up to the tailgate higher forces for good luck on Saturday. (For legal reasons, this is a joke.) Please be kind to our lovely hosts… and tell them to read Flyby!

Preparing for Harvard-Yale is no joke. This includes figuring out how to even get to New Haven. We all have to do our part, so get your school spirit on and BEAT YALE!
