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.
(Thanks to all who come and support the Trinity Tigers, at home and away)
