Hope the concession stand will have lots of coffee and hot chocolate on hand for those cold temps!
milk jugs with only 15 pennies,are the cheapest,loudest ways to make noise.I suggest not spray painting them blue though.I did that last year and it makes a big mess,not to mention it showers blue paint flakes everywhere.
I will also be that guy yelling Defense all night and shaking my jug,tooting the airhorn yelling "aaaaahhhhhhhh" all night!
let's create a rukkus in the thunder alley friday night.
an energetic crowd makes the game alot more fun to be at,plus it's gonna be COLD,yelling warms better than hot chocolate!!!
Let's Go Trojans
Lamar - 34 Bleckley - 13
Having not followed closely this year it was nice to get such detail in the story.
Hopefully i can make it to the second round game.
Some of my best memories from high school were our playoff appearances in '01 and '02.
Go Trojans!
