If youíre like the majority of Woosterís student body, family and friends, you were down at John P. Papp stadium ó smashed in the bleachers, hovering outside the fenced area or crowded together and blocking the exits ó to watch our first-ever night football game. The energy was tangible, and even when the opponents pulled ahead you could hear student-inspired chants and cheering.
For those few hours, the student body demonstrated a sense of unity and shared enthusiasm rarely seen anywhere else on campus.
Now, think back to every other typical football game. Itís 1 p.m. on Saturday. You may not even be awake yet, and even if you are, going outside to sit on icy bleachers and support the Fighting Scots is probably near the bottom of your list, behind all the homework and the meetings you have to attend before starting your Saturday night.
That isnít all though. On any given day there is almost definitely a huge variety of other sporting events, concerts and plays put on by your fellow students that are free and on campus. Even if you canít attend the whole event, even dropping by for a short time shows the school spirit we all know we have.
So why not show as much support to these displays of talent as we all did last Saturday at the night game? This was an opportunity to see the potential we have when we come together and unite behind our peers. Imagine if every event had even half of the energy we gave last Saturday.
