Football Fever

Last night was crazy. If you didn't know, I have season tickets to the PSU football games. For this reason I was at Beaver Stadium to watch the biggest game yet this season. It was a lot of fun especially because it was a white out, meaning everyone in the student section, with the exception of those who ended up in the S zone, was wearing white.
Christie and I had intended to go with a girl from down the hall, (the same one that I have mentioned in previous posts) because it was her first time at a game and, according to Christie, it's no fun to watch the game alone. Anyways, as we got to the gate to go in Jamie decided to go through a different line as us because she was bringing in a camera and you have to go through in certain places if you are bringing things into the stadium. When she got in, of course her ticket wasn't in the same place as ours, so we ended up not sitting together. This was alright with me because I wasn't really concerned with her "happiness," but of course Christie was really upset, if you knew her you'd understand because she gets upset over the littlest things. I tried to tell her that it wasn't her fault but she was still upset. I guess I'm not a very caring person but I wasn't going to let this ruin the game for me.
P.S. Does anyone know if Tye Cressman would have been down here? I thought I might have seen him on my way to the stadium but there was no way I was going to ask and possibly get a "no" from the person.
Back to the point. I had a lot of fun screaming at the top of my lungs, or maybe it was the bottom, it seemed a bit deeper than if it were the top. My voice is now sore because of this. The biggest problem I have with football games is that everyone and I mean at least 95% of the crowd yells profanity at the opposing team. I don't mind hearing profanity once in a while but I really don't like to hear it screamed into my ears with no possible way of shutting it out. Oh well, I guess that's just part of the experience.
We were doing pretty good the first quarter, at least we didn't let them score, but then the second and third gave them a 14 point lead which we were never able to overcome. We did score a touchdown in the last minutes of the game, which gave us hope, especially since we got possession of the ball again after that, but it was not to be. A final score of 17-10 in favor of the Michigan Wolverines left us with a bad taste in our mouth and still longing for revenge.
Then, as I returned home, I got online and chatted with Philip. This left me getting to sleep at around 1:30, the latest I have stayed up yet, and man am I tired this morning.

Pf! Sleep's overrated.

I think Tye would have been down there. Don't you know him well enough to positively identify him? You are related.

And you shouldn't stay up so late.

DUDE! We posted during the exact same minute!

Profanity has become the norm these days.

It really shows a lack of intelligence - poor vocabulary and all. Except for those people who have a gift for profanity and can invent colorful and imaginative phrases on the spur of the moment.
