The rivalry has grown into a wholly reciprocated event between the student bodies of Cornell and Harvard. Cornell is abuzz the week before any contest against Harvard. Harvard has declared that Cornell has surpassed Yale as its primary rival. An article from "The Harvard Crimson" in 2010 stated emphatically that, "or though Harvard-Yale weekend is historic in its own right, the Bulldogs can no longer be considered the Crimson's most hated foe." The rivalry has been characterized as being "as big and as boisterous as a Michigan-Ohio State football contest."
