Fire it up
This is the girl on the football beat here, and I’ll be bringing you the action live from the Yale Bowl along with Adam Rubin, but first a few notes about the journey.
9:13 a.m.
Study Bus: Three things we do better than Yale: 1. Study 2. Cheer 3. Win
Due to my impending JP, I may not have had the full bus ride experience, instead I followed Caitlin Sullivan '07 bearing an orange sign proclaiming the “Study Bus,” with the pathetic hope of making some progress on said paper, but seeing 500 Princeton students, all in orange and black, lining up for the buses was something else. It’s a showing of school spirit that I haven’t seen since, well, the last Yale game. But let’s keep that memory blocked and hope Caitlin's sign is right.
Once we get to Yale those 500 students will be clad in bright orange shirts saying “Fire it Up” on the front and bearing an image of a roasting bulldog on a spit over a campfire on the back. Kudos to Rob Biederman, USG, and whoever designed that tshirt.
9:38 a.m.
We’re finally off
They’ve just given us a handout, key info:
4. We have ordered $1000 of Hoagie Haven sandwiches that we will distribute when the buses arrive at Yale.
(They’ve put all the food in the bottom of our bus. The press box will probably have food, but like all things in New Haven, it probably sucks in comparison to quality Princeton fare)
10. As they say in Texas: Come Early, Be Loud, Stay Late, Wear Orange!
As we pull out I notice the student souvenir agency is selling their signature ‘Yale Sucks’ tshirts as well as some tiger tails. Those shirts always remind me of a kid at my high school who used to wear his Yale Sucks tshirt to gym class – his life goal was to follow his brother to Princeton — he’s now at Duke, he probably has less opportunity to wear it there.
10:23 a.m.
We’re on the Turnpike, I’d forgotten how bouncy buses can be. Our bus apparently has a heating problem as well, it’s a sauna and the bus driver can’t fix it. This part of Jersey is pretty ugly, and I’m from the Garden State. JP’s going ok. In case you cared, glucose uptake after insulin stimulation occurs primarily through glucose transporter type-4 (GLUT4) after it is translocated to the plasma membrane.
12:00 p.m.
Just saw a sign for New Haven-Yale hospital, so we must be close. Winter seems to have come already to Connecticut, the leaves are all off the trees and it’s sort of dismal looking.
12:30 p.m.
We're here!
