Fall Break-Dance Party (Is it on or off?)

This past weekend was Fall Break for Trinity University, which was not much of a break considering only Friday classes were cancelled. And lets be honest, skipping Friday classes for your own 3-day weekend has been in style since at least the 80s.

Anyway, the Football team once again had an away game, which they won, and returned just in time (11:00pm)  for the "Fall Break-Dance Party." Considering that the party was being held at the house of Football players, it seemed logical not to throw the party. On the other hand, the fact that the name of the party was so incredibly catchy, and the game had been won, there was no other reasonable choice than to go ahead with the Fall Break-Dance Party.

Unlike the previous themed parties with miscommunications among friends and awkward freshman, the party took shape and nothing went awry. It was the classic, predictable college party (at Trinity). Something will have to be done in order to make the next party less predictable and more notable. I will be sure to keep you updated.

Tailgate Party (Trinity vs. Florida)

This past weekend, the Trinity football team traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to play their third conference game of the 2010 season. When we arrived at the hotel, we noticed something strange about the atmosphere; there were buses full of fraternities and sororities coming in to support Florida who was playing Alabama. Immediately we noticed that there were more college kids in the lobby than attend our home football games. This really brought home the difference between state schools and private schools, and especially Division III versus Division I sports.

At Trinity home games, few people come out and tailgate, but the ones who do bring their A game. The difference is that most of the Trinity football players are friends with those tailgaters, while the Florida football players might only know about 1% of their tailgaters. If you are one in favor of quality over quantity, then Trinity football games are right for you.
