There are plenty of people in California who refer to Harvard as the "Stanford of the East," and MIT as the CalTech of the east. I won't even get started on what folks from USC and UCLA say about each other... or folks from Northern and Southern California.

However, I can vouch for the fact that on beautiful, sunny days in January (perfect sun, surf, temps in the 70's) waaay back in the eighties, at least a few students at UCSB would raise the old Corona bottles in a toast, and say,
"You can keep Harvard...... we have the beach."
