TooMuchTooSoon

So, today is saturday, and every big campus in the country is thriving with college football madness. I too go to one of those schools that experience college football at its highest capacity, and I love it. It amazes me (no surprise there) that Saturday’s bring out the best in people during college football. Even on “dry-campuses”, they are more wet than a bottle of water floating in a pool in the rain. People walk around carrying cases of beer, 3 beers in each hand, and handles of any kind of liquor you can think of. It’s also strange seeing these same people walk by tons of cop cars with no repercussions. Oh college football.

There’s something about being in a packed stadium, most people wearing the same color, screaming their heads off, all boozed up and excited. That’s just one of the best things about college, especially if your team is good. If you haven’t been to a college game in one of those huge stadiums, you should get on that before this season ends. It’s a must.

Anyway, College football was one of the first experiences I had in college, and it was amazing. Everyone on the floor would pile into our room (alright, it was like 5 or 6 people) and we would blast the fight song, dance around, and pound booze. What’s even better is that no one cared. Yeah we can’t drink in the Res Halls, but no one really cared. So we would get shitty before the game, dance around, enjoy life, then head over to the game and cheer on the squad.

Another awesome part of college football may be post-game naps. After you spend 3 or 4 hours cheering on your team, especially in extreme hot/cold, you are just so tired and want to crash, and you do. There’s nothing better than getting a big win on a Saturday, crash after the game, and then wake up a few hours later and start drinking again. There’s almost nothing better. That’s why the second semester of every college year sucks, because there’s no tailgating, no football, no nothing.

Enjoy college football while you can. Don’t go to a school with a shitty football team. Yeah, basketball is fun to watch, but football is so much better. It makes the college experience so much better. Being in a stadium with upwards of 60,000 fans, screaming as loud as you can, being hammered. It’s great.

This Saturday was another great college football day for my school. And I didn’t get to take a nap this time, but in the end it doesn’t really matter. The fact that I have a big team to cheer on, and a lot of friends and peers to watch the game with, all drunk, makes college that much better.
