Aside from giving relief to the thousands of decent folk who also claim themselves as inhabitants of New Haven, you should come with a further assurance: Cambridge is prepared to absorb your stench in exchange for the joy of seeing your faces as the mighty Crimson emasculates the demure—at best—Bulldog for the sixth consecutive year...
