My first football game

I went for my first football game on Saturday and it was a lot of fun. The thing I will take back the most from that experience will be the experience of tailgating. I know many drivers out there will tell you that following too closely behind someone is very dangerous but I'm not talking about that kind of tailgating. Tailgating is what happens before football games. Familes or friends will go down early for the games and set up a barbi and kegs or coolers full of beer. Some will come bringing tents and radios or even tvs all to enjoy the game at the stadium. Yes, not in the stadium but at the stadium. They never enter the stadium to watch the game but remain outside in the carpark roasting hotdogs or making burgers or something. And that something is known as getting very happily drunk...

Here are some pictures of my 1st game...



This is the Aloha stadium which is a sad stadium. it is sad because Hawaii has no NFL team. That is also why UH games are so huge here because it is the only thing that hawaiian can do together in terms of sport. It is also sad because it is painted rust brown. Really it's paint but everybody just thinks it's a rickety old stadium.



here's a picture of some very kind people who gave me a burger which was very tasty indeed. They gave it to me for nothing and the reason, that's the spirit of tailgating. to give and not to count the cost. they just give willingly. It's all about sharing the love that is the Aloha spirit!



here's a picture of my friend George playing beer pong which is a game in which you try to bounce a ping pong ball into a cup of beer. Just look at the concentration on his face...



here's a picture of the stadium from the inside. hawaii smashed Idaho 68-10. What can i say, these warriors rock. And yes Idaho that's right, U da HO...



Hawaii is in black and Idaho is in white...



these are two pictures from the halftime show which was hugely entertaining. The marching band got into costume and stuff because one, it's halloween and two, because it was the homecoming game. There were also these little girls who were dancing with their dad's which i though was super adorable. The dad's wore t-shirts saying Dads and they danced too and did cartwheels and stuff to boot. Hugely funny...



And yes, the obligatory picture of the uber-cure cheerleader... Uber, uber cute...
