gameday~!

I have never experienced such big festival in university before. Actually, I really expected this football match game since I bought season ticket. I heard from my friends this festival is the biggest festival in Olemiss. However, the atmosphere of campus seemed to be peaceful and calm before the game day. So, I thought this event was not much bigger than I imagined. But, when I woke up in the day, I could realize that my thought was wrong.

When I went out of my dormitory, I could see lots of people who dressed up and they went to the same somewhere. A friend of mine said that they went to “grove”. After I got there, I was surprised by a number of people gathered at the same place. I could meet IEP friends in there and spent enjoyable time to talk with them. However, even though mingling with them was also funny, I was interested in watching football game. Whenever time was close to start time of the game, I was really excited. So, I hurried to go to the football stadium.

Finally, after some times, the game started and I could not endure my excited emotion. Since I studied the football rule, it was not difficult to understand to watch the game. About 60 thousand people visited in the stadium. The result about the game was victory of Olemiss. I could only remember that I just screamed out and clapped our team. Time almost passed through end of the game upon me unawares. That was so exciting experience. I really expect other football games. In spite of lots of events in this campus, I think this festival is the most important and excited event. I really hope that time passes fast until next gameday.

  3. I agree with Liz that if you know the rules of the game you should teach us because if one the one hand it is true that by the end of the game I had undertood a little bit more than at the beginning, on the other hand I still do not understand the game completely!!!

  5. The first time I went to a tailgating on the grove, I thought: "It's ridiculous to see people dressed up for a football game, isn't it? It's just a game, not a party!". I wonder if all American people in the other states dress up to see a football games, or is it just in Oxford, MS? Because, for instance, most of the Ole Miss students came from rich families and they like to show off. What about in New York? Alaska?

    In other countries where there are soccer games, people just dress up in their casual outfit.
