DAD’S WEEKEND Oh the magic of Dad's Weekend! Beavers and their fathers were spotted all over campus celebrating in style; BBQ'ing up slabs of dead cow, shouting at the triumphant football team, playing a friendly game of beverage pong, or just relaxing with their collegiate youth. It was a perfect weekend. Events galore marked the arrival of Beaver Dads this year. The weekend began with a Super Dad Dinner and a hilarious performance by comedian Frank Caliendo on Friday evening. By early Saturday, there were tailgate parties all over campus and even a Strong Dad Competition in the MU quad with dads lifting massive tires and squatting gigantic barbells. Then came the football game where dads and students got a chance to shout their hearts out together in the stands. There was a very special performance by the marching band and their fathers during half-time of the USC game. No one will forget watching fathers bust out their best moves in front of the crowd as the band played “Macho Man'and “YMCA.“ The Beavers win over the 3rd ranked USC Trojans created even more chaos. My dad and I tried to make it down to the field, but it was too crazy, there was a line just to jump over the railing, said senior James Fox. Parties erupted all over campus on Saturday evening, and dads weren't afraid to join in on the fun. Pre-Halloween costume parties even gave dads a chance to hide their identities a little. For those that were too beat up by the day's festivities, there were back massages in the MU to really loosen things up or Rock and Glow Bowling until midnight in the MU Recreation Center. Overall this years Dad's Weekend was an absolute blast. An exciting football upset, a great comedy show, and a variety of on-campus events ensured that no dad was left un-amused.
