On Saturday, September 23 the USC football team (the Gamecocks) played Mississippi State, and lots of students were there to watch it. This was my first football game, and it was quite an experience. Prior to the game a band marches across the field, ...
some airforce guys unroll a giant American flag, and the cheerleaders do their thing. All in all, the introduction has enough banners and choreography to impress a North-Korean dictator.
The game itself is interesting in that it is the only game I know that takes over 45 minutes to play 15 minutes of gametime. To keep everyone's spirits up a "mikeperson" and the cheerleaders encourage the crowd to make some noise (Go Cocks!).
