Quoth the Ravens, 'Nevermore'
Shall the New York Giants win the Super Bowl, that is.
Pulling pranks is one of the staples of college life, and University students' frequent shenanigans prove are no exception.
This time, Super Bowl Sunday inspired a group of pranksters to fit this stereotype.
Fans of the football team mischievously placed a sign reading, "Go Baltimore Ravens - Evermore ... " in room 13 of the West Range, the Edgar Allen Poe Room.
The sign's bold letters, proclaiming Ravens pride, were written in black and purple, the team's official colors, and hung on a wooden chest under the room's window.
Edgar Allen Poe occupied the room during his brief enrollment at the University in 1826 but withdrew after one year because of overwhelming gambling debts. The University's Raven Society is named for Poe's 1845 immortal poem, "The Raven," and was founded in 1904.
The Raven Society is responsible for maintaining the Edgar Allen Poe room, and refurbished it in 1924 to look more like the old student rooms of 1826.
The culprits' identities remain unknown, but at the Super Bowl opening kickoff yesterday, it was no mystery that Ravens fans everywhere hoped their team would remain football champions - evermore.
