Last Football Game of the Season

This weekend was the last ONU football game and I can honestly say besides a few hiccups during the game I had a blast.

I went with my Polar Pals, a group of students from Korea, my best friend Hannah, her little brother and was later joined by my boyfriend's family. The first half of the game I sat with my friends and explained to the international students the basics of the game. They also were very interested to know when my boyfriend was going in and thought it was cool that I knew a lot of the players.

The first "hiccup" of the game though was when my boyfriend went down after he ran into one of his blockers close to halftime. He just went down and all of the international students immediately asked if both him and I were ok. I explained to them it was most likely his shoulder. On the other end of the bleachers where his family was sitting there was a little less concern as his mom yelled out, "Are you are or are you injured?" Her thing is if your only hurt you can still play and that has been her thing since he played Pop Warner.

As far the game it was really emotional because it was senior day. The game started out with the announcer recognizing all of the seniors and their parents. This game like homecoming showed a different side to the guys and they were laying it all on the field and giving no mercy to Otterbein. They were up by quite a few touchdowns by the half and Otterbein was on their third quarterback.

For the second half it was just Hannah, her little brother, and boyfriend's family. We were so into the game because the guys were doing so well and then a few minutes into the third my boyfriend went down hurt again at the one yard line. This time he could say he was injured. The trainers walked off with him after they helped him up but the good part is we scored right after that.

The team put everything they had into the game and won 42-21. Then after the game was one of the most emotional times. The seniors were hugging all the underclassmen and thanking them for a good season and making sure their last game was a win. But, the most chilling sight was seeing one of the seniors laying on the 50 yard line, it was a Kodak moment and left me wondering where were the campus camera people when you need them.
