Sophomore Stephanie Dyer said that dressing up in red and white added so much to the game. “It showed our school spirit and faith in the Hogs to the opposing team,” Dyer said. “When you see the wave of red and white through the stands, it makes you feel proud. You know it makes the team more pumped up and play better.” After attending a brunch with her date at the Pi Kappa Alpha house, where their annual Riverboat was taking place, sophomore Angela Jackson and her date attended the game sitting with the whole frater¬ nity. “There were a lot more people at the game,” Jackson said. “We were all crammed together and you could feel the excitement.” CAMPUS LIFE 10
