It is hard to believe that it is already almost November and our Wildcat football season is almost over. As a senior I have gone to my share of football games, through attempting to stay longer than the 1st quarter, tailgating a little too hard, singing "Bear Down" more time than I can count, and sweating off all my face tattoos within 10 minutes — it is these experiences that are the ones I will never forget. There are few things that are better than seeing everyone come together showing their pride for our amazing school and our football team.
Although every Saturday tailgate and football game is different each time, there are certain phrases that are guaranteed to be stated at every game that I have said or heard through out my 4 years here.
