Spartan teams are NEVER beaten, all through the game they fight!

So.. this weekend is the last home football game of the season, and that makes me really sad. :( With the NHL lockout and all, I will have no sporting events to look forward to watching on TV or possibly making a trip down to Detroit for... I mean, I know I have MSU college hockey to look forward to for the next 6 months, but it's just not the same as professional hockey. But anyway, back to the current sport conundrum.

Ever since I've attended a Big Ten university, I've grown to fall in love with college football. I've probably talked about it multiple times throughout this blog, but I just can't help but keep saying how much I truly enjoy it! The atmosphere in the stadium is INCREDIBLE: 75,000+ people that are all there to support a group of over a hundred Spartans as they play their hearts out every game of the season. I love the "Go Green! Go White!" chant that envelops the entire stadium, singing our Fight Song EVERY time the marching band plays it, and all of the little traditions we have as a student section like our first down chant and shaking our keys on the opponents 3rd down. I definitely can do without the vulgarities and negative chants that our section starts, but I think the enthusiasm and positive cheers can make up for it.

I think it's kind of funny that I love football so much now that I'm in college. I was in marching band all four years of high school, but I never payed attention to our Friday night games, let alone knew the rules of how it worked. Now I feel like I can hold a conversation about it, including stats about other schools in other leagues. One of my friends even told me that I'm the most sports-inclined girl he knows. :P My boyfriend loves football too, and I've found that it makes the game that much better when you're standing in the stadium with people that enjoy it just as much.

So now that you know what my plans are for the weekend, I encourage you (if you have student section tickets) to attend the last game of the season! Yes, it might be chilly, and yes, we may lose again, but that shouldn't stop you from cheering for the overall BEST team in the Big Ten in our beautiful Spartan Stadium!

Here's a little pump up video! :)

Go Green!

Go White!

BEAT THE WILDCATS!
