Talk:Bladderball

I was there in 1976, and I recall that a car was damaged, but I do not believe the driver of the car was trampled, although the Yale Daily News article says this. My recollection is that this was a parked car, and that the bladderball was on top of it, and all the people pushing from all sides damaged the car. With respect to the vandalism of the Branford dining hall, the Wikipedia article is correct (that butyric acid was used).

Aerial footage from 1977?
Does anyone know how to get ahold of the footage the Pierson students took from the helicopter in 1977? I would love to see that.
 * The footage was taken with a Super8 film camera and delivered to WTNH Channel 8, the local New Haven television station. They had it processed and converted it on their telecine, and broadcast it on that evening's news, with the accompanying script as written by the Pierson "stringer". If the footage still exists in any form, it will be somewhere in the archives of WTNH news.

In general, this article is terrific, bladderball is hilariously awesome, and we totally need to bring it back! -The Realms of Gold 06:11, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

This page will likely be vandalized due to the recent game. Lock? -Phi*n!x 20:17, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks. I'll try to update it in a more encyclopedic style once there are citable sources (though I'm not confident this meets notability guidelines). -Phi*n!x 05:14, 11 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Check the Yale Daily News and the U.S. News and World Report (http://www.usnews.com/blogs/paper-trail/2009/10/09/bladderball-coming-back-to-yale.html) articles, along with one from The Crimson (http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=116433). They should all be citable.   Rustinf (talk) 18:52, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Yale Bladderball 2009
The 2009 revival is probably notable in and of itself, but the outcome or lack thereof isn't besides the fact that the ball ended up popping. I'm also concerned about the fact that this article is completely focused on Yale when there are other schools that have played bladderball. Rustinf (talk) 18:54, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added a general description of the 2009 game. I don't think anything longer than what I have is necessary.  The fact that it was covered by U.S. News and World Report makes it seem a little more notable.  If you can find anything about other schools playing it, definitely add it.  Preliminary googling only tells me about Yale. -Phi*n!x 21:14, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
