3 Week Mark: Saturday Night Lights

     Hi everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a while. These last few weeks I've realized that being busy is a part of college. Especially, if you try to go to football games. This labor day I had the pleasure to go to the kickoff of  our college footbaIl. I couldn't wait to sit in the stands in a sea of Crimson and Old Gold.

     But first, I had to find out how to get to the game. I had to get to the city of Birmingham. I discovered that the Student Government Association was funding a bus and seats were available. That Thursday, I got one of the last tickets for the bus and got my ticket for the game. The Tuskegee Golden Tigers were facing there rival the Alabama A&M Bulldogs, in a game dubbed, "The Battle in Birmingham". I put the ticket in my pocket, and began my wait for Saturday.

     When Saturday came, I had came down with a cold. Being sick with a cold and alone in my dorm room might be the worst thing ever. It made me want to marry a nurse after college. But I fought through it and I made it to the bus stop. The day before, I wore my only Tuskegee shirt for College colors day so I had to rock my Lebron James lion shirt. Tigers and lions are in the same family, right? So I got on the bus, with a fist full of tissues and ticket to a game 120 miles away.

The bus ride was boring, tedious and a bit bumpy, but it got me where I needed to go. The game was at Legion Field, It is known for being the home for the soccer games in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. I walked into the stadium and sat in the student section near the band. Before the game even started, it was crazy. Its hard to describe, so I uploaded a little bit of the action, but it will never compare to being there.

SO BORED I don't know what to do with myself.

KICK OFF

     Even though  the crowd had more fun than the opposing side, we ended up losing the game 6-7, which gave me a flashback of my last game at East High. We lost by the same score in a playoff game in Juneau.The Golden Tigers literally played to the last second, and ended the game, with a missed field goal. We lost, but I had a great time and I can't wait for the next game.
