I love army fatigues, swagger, the U and 'team bad guy' because to us those are things to be proud of. Photo by Jessica Bryant t1standW1ththe In the hot, sticky September afternoon air, school spirit beamed through the parking lot at the first tailgate of the year. Despite summer scandals and player suspensions, football fans came out in full force to watch the game many were calling the iiIneligi-bowlf, The NCAA was already investigating the Ohio State Buckeyes football program when Yahoo Sports released its unnerving exspose on booster Nevin Shapirols dealings with football players at UM. iiNo scandal could,ve stopped me from going hard at the first tailgate of the seasonfj'unior Cynthia Mills said. uEspecially since it was against OSU? From the cheers at the pep rally to the spell-outs in the stands, fans were ready for the start of football season. Facing off against a famous rival, Ohio State, students were ready to show the country how great it is to be a Hurricane. Gates opened at 1pm with cars ready to roll in. Yellow school buses jam- packed with fraternity brothers drove to their designated spots as Cheers were yelled through the open windows. The parking lot quickly filled as tailgating flags were raised and smoke lifted into the sky from grills cooking up good-eats. J ordan ToIson i Sophomore I Chose to wear my pride becasue it is a privilege and honor to be part of one of the best academic and athletic schools in the country. Photo by Kenneth Rubi Fans showed conUnuous pride through public aUegahons and controversy iiI got to the stadium at 1:30 and the lots were already super full,,,ser1ior Annette Vera said. Fans who arrived as early as Vera carne prepared for six continuous hours oftailgating.Trur1ks of cars emptied out beer pong tables, corn- hole, footballs, grills, and coolers full of the essentials: alcohol, burgers, hot dogs, Chips, dip and veggie trays. IA friend of mine made Orange and Green buckeyes, nothing said school spirit like eating those buckeyesf, sophomore Rachel Monane said. ii1 felt so bad for those poor Ohio State fans who were brave enough to tailgate next to drunk college students and alums. It was an endless haze of grill smoke by the time kiCk-off neard and fans headed into the stadium. The afternoon was filled with constant, loud iiC-A-N-E-Sl cheers, and fans dancing on top of SUVs. iBeing outside for that long tailgating was probably a bad idea? junior Phil Mahoney said. iIBut the win at the end of the night made it all worth the dehydration. With Nevin Shapirois scandalous allegations and NCAA investigations on everyones mind, the decisive Victory over the Buckeyes reminded spectators what it was all about, the game of football. Byjasmz'ne Henderson Hewitt Hanafee Senior I thought it was an awful thing that Shapiro was seeking revenge for people not helping him get out of jail for his bad Choices and we had to get punished for it. I thought the shirt was a x funny play on the blown a out of proportion x scandal. Photo by liiiaha Oyarzun
