Yalies Get In A Frenzy Over Big Balls

source: yaledailynews.comYalies must have too much time on their hands. Maybe it's the assurance of having higher GPAs and a lighter workload, or maybe they're just really starved for a social outlet.How else do you explain over 1,000 students going absolutely mental in order to cop a feel of a giant inflatable ball? The tradition of Bladderball (yes, you read that right) returned yesterday after a 27-year hiatus. Yale had banned the annual crazy convention because too many people got injured. Hands and balls were slapping against people's faces and such. But the Yalies of today defied their administrators and literally brought the streets of New Haven to a standstill.We guess it's cool that Yalies have the motivation and the testicular fortitude to ignore university-decreed bans, even if their precious tradition is utterly bizarre. Maybe this will mean someone here will be ballsy enough to bring back the Nude Olympics?Who are we kidding. We are too apathetic. Back to our JPs!Want to see some crazy footage? Check out the Youtube clip below!The good stuff starts around 2:50...
