So we've been very quiet over here at Cuseline for awhile now mainly because we have no reason to camp out for lacrosse and really football for that matter. However, we were at the Washington game, bright and early. Amy and I got to the Dome at 11 in the morning and were the first ones there. A giddy freshman by the name of Trevor, joined us at 11:45. As the day went on the crowd kept coming. The early afternoon was filled with some tossing around of a nerf football followed by some booing of Washington faithful passerbys. By 5:00 the line to get into the student section was almost out to the quad, and by gates open the line was apparently at the quad if not further. Bravo students on that one. The atmosphere in the Dome once gates opened was electric, the best i've ever seen it in my one plus year on the hill. The football team came in shortly after to greet the students and get everyone fired up. It seemed the student section might finally be back and rowdy. It was while we were still in the game, but by the second quarter, very few people past the first couple rows were cheering nonstop anymore. By the time it was 21-6, most of the students decided it was game over and left. At the end of the game I doubt there was more than about 200-300 students left. Shame on the student section. When it was 21-6 the game was clearly not over, weirding things have happened in football. (See 58-42 Louisville over Middle Tenn. State. Who saw that score coming). Overall it was a dissapointing game, hopefully down the road the students won't give up so easily. I know it has been a tough couple years, but for all the students who got to the game hours in advance, why would you leave so early in the third quarter?
And for the helluva it, because you can't get enough of the Final Countdown video.
And when it was played at the Dome
GOOOOOOOOOO ORANGE!
