Characters: Stevie and Susan Carol are the two main characters of the book. It also had many minor characters.

A united university through sports is often a rarity. College football can be one of the most intense experience in college sports. The passion and energy is nearly impossible to encapsulate into a single feeling. Sports teams and their fans share a bond that cannot be recon with. The colleges with prestigious athletic backgrounds have a numerous alumni who carry pride into every game day. A lot of fans equal a lot of fun, but attending an school with diehard fans is best part of college sports. College football has gained the reputation for becoming the most celebrated sport. The best way to celebrate a college football game is tailgating. Tailgating and college football have become such a tradition that it is hard to see one happening

People getting arrested, drunk, and in fights for a game? People all across the world attend sports of all kinds. Fans can not always be the nicest or like the other team but that shouldn't stop you from being a fan or going to a game. Infact it’s good to be a fan of a certain team, studies showed that if you have strong liking of a particular team it can actually make you a healthier, happier, and more social person. So if you don’t particularly like a sport just turn on your tv and try watching some type of sport who knows you might just like it.

Rare is it that warmth crowds wrath for the spotlight when the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Colorado Buffaloes crack helmets in their annual Big Eight showdown. Yet that was the mood this season at chilly Memorial Stadium in Lincoln as fans applauded loudly every senior playing his final home game.

As an Iowa State student, I enjoy going to the games and supporting my school and team. The games are what I look forward to every weekend. There is a common characteristic of the love for Iowa State and Iowa State’s athletic teams in the stadium. The excitement from all the students and other Iowa State fans brings joy to my eyes. My favorite part of the football games is when all the fans in the student section are standing on the bleachers and cheering together and supporting our team. Although our football may not be very good, we still go to the all games and see our football players do the best they can and bring a win for Iowa State University. Everyone enjoys when the fight song plays and when we sing all the common cheers all together. The stadium gets so loud when there is an exciting play that happens in the game. When there is a touchdown for Iowa State the stadium gets so loud that I can’t even hear myself think and I enjoy the commotion from everyone where we all go around and high-five the people around us. With so many fans, the stadium must have a good size to hold all the cheering fans in one place. Because of so many fans, the stadium is the sixth largest stadium in the Big 12 Conference (by capacity) and the third newest in the conference. The record for most attendees to a single-game was against Kansas State with an attendance 56,800 people

Sports Authority Field at Mile High, home of the Denver Broncos professional football team. A stadium filled full with 76,125 loud and dedicated fans. The atmosphere is intense when the stadium opens for the football game. The away team always goes on the field first. The stadium erupts in boos and a various amount of cuss words, some that I have never even heard before. The creativity of the fans is almost like an R- rated Shakespeare is inside them. The staff sets up an inflatable horse with smoke coming out the sides and fireworks bursting in the air above it. The Broncos come to the field and the noise from the cheering and yelling is almost enough to make you go deaf. It sends chills down your spine

The Origins of the fiercest rivalry in all of college football began in Birmingham, Alabama in 1893. At the time, Birmingham was known for its iron production, hence the college match-up was named the “Iron Bowl,” which comes from Birmingham’s historic role in the steel industry. The teams met in Birmingham’s Lakeview Park, with Auburn (then the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama) winning 32-22. Both schools, Alabama and Auburn launched football programs in 1892, Alabama considers this game to be the final one of that season, while Auburn considers it to be the first of the 1893 season. Auburn won the very first game, which took place in February due to the University’s football schedule. The two teams met again in November of the same year, the traditional date for the Iron Bowl, at Montgomery in which Auburn took its

It was a hot summer day in Miami Florida. It was an hour before game time. Both teams the Giants and the Patriots have been Rivals for years, but today they will face each other and turning who is the real champion of the YFL (Youth Football League).

Last week at the rally it was very intense and had so much excitement throughout time. The rally brought much entertainment to our husky crowd. The rally was motivating because our huskies needed to be pumped up to get the crowd into it. The crowd felt they needed to help our teams get the motivation to get the win and secure our home fields. The way our teams played they played really hard so they can try to win for our school. The rally brought our fan base together to feel we could win no matter who the opponents are. We all came together to feel the pride we have for our school. The rallies are great ideas to get as much of the motivation we can to keep the feeling going. The way our sport teams play we play with much passion and play to

When a college has a successful athletics team they get national exposure, but not only do they get that they get international as well. With this, the college has a lot to go off of from all the attention people start to notice the school and its success. They want to know who they are, what they’re about, and where they come from. Everyone wants them on their cover of their magazine, in their commercials, wants to be a part of what they have going on. It helps build a fan base around the world, over the past few years Wichita State had an increasing fan base overseas especially in Asia. They had a fan fly all the way from Asia to here in the U.S

During high school basketball games you mostly hear just the parents cheering and yelling. However, the few lucky home players sometimes get the experience of having a student section cheering them on. I have been on both ends of the student section: cheering in one and playing while one is cheering you on. Both are extremely fun and great to experience.

Game Entertainment: When our team runs out to the field and when the game ends fireworks will be fired, When our team scores a burst of fire will come out of our gun shaped flamethrower, out of our paid birthday announcements for fans, paid proposals announcements and shown on the jumbotron for game replays and as if it was a kiss cam, dance/music performance at halftime to hype up the fans, we will have musicians play during the breaks such as Steve Earle, Holly Dunn, Christopher Cross, etc.. on our stage and the national

The things that I thought worked for the program was that the kids were all welcomed with open arms and enthusiasm, which helped them to feel comfortable and excited about the activities of the day. They were able to arrive and have something to eat before starting the day. The opening ceremonies each morning gave structure and allowed the students to know what they could expect during the day. The reflection time allowed the kids to have quiet time or time to burn off their excess energy by playing basketball or football out in the grass areas. I think the guys truly enjoyed the time playing sport and could see that college life can include both academic and recreational activities. It was nice to display both arenas to them. The swag contests

Regarding intentions of fans to consume their favorite team, research has found that fans of intercollegiate football were more likely to consume their favorite team when they were playing a rival team than a non-rival team (Havard, et al., in press; Havard et al., 2016). Building from these findings, we expect that fans of professional sport will be more likely to consume their favorite team when playing their primary rival than secondary rival.

While screaming “you can’t do that” a girl claps with the group in order to push the buttons of the competition whenever they would mess up a play. The cheerleaders stand on the track, leading Mayhem to be wild. The air is cold and the day is slowly ending yet the fans know exactly what that means; a party is happening after this game. That cup of coffee in the girls’ hand that kept her hands warm gets thrown out after the final touchdown is made, and now onto celebrate the win. The fan does not see what the field stands for. She does not see the importance of the field or really the track around the field. She see one more game they attended with friends. She sees one more night of fun, goofing off, being a kid who will soon graduate and live the best possible life. She does not realize that this crowd will move on and have something important they are leaving behind. That is why the track is irrelevant. The fans as a whole have their own important places and times. Whether that is also a track or a baseball field or the town park, they see the track as a place to cheer and the field as a place to win some high school games. A space with buttery popcorn, burgers, and warm hot chocolate that can be smelt from a mile away. Fans do not see the hard work put in at track practice or any other sport for that matter when running laps and neither does her. Everyone in that school has used the track at
