Mods - I hope this is OK to post as long as I credit the source. My apologies if it is not.

Below are two pictures of Keith Olbermann, circa 1979, while working as a sportscaster at a Cornell University college radio station. The photos were scanned from the March/April issue of Cornell Alumni Magazine

1. "High above Cayuga's waters, high above ..."

:party:

I know, I know - it's "far" not "high." But it was "high" in the 70s. I lived in the Finger Lakes region then. I know.

"High above Cayuga's waters, there's an awful smell.
Some say it's Cayuga's waters, we know it's Cornell!"

10. It's really an absolutely beautiful campus ... loaded with overstressed grinds.

It's one of the most competitive, dog-eat-dog schools in the country, I'm told. When I lived in the Finger Lakes, I preferred the wineries and restaurants. Bully Hill wasn't far from Cornell - and a GREAT place to visit and eat lunch outdoors with a bottle of wine.

11. My Dad graduated from Penn and this is the version he taught my sister

and I when we were quite young. At games the Penn fans would sing this and the Cornell fans would counter and sing the Pennsylvania song but end it with "the hell with the U of P...P U!! I doubt this wwould be allowed today.
