USC vs WSU Football Game

Last Saturday we went to the USC WSU Football in Pullman. This was the 1st college football game I had ever been to and it was tons of fun. Martin Stadium was a sell out crowd of 35,000 fans! We sat in the USC endzone with the rest of the USC fans...yes, we're USC fans. It was a very good game but Rob & I think that USC is a bit overrated this year. I couldn't believe just how big the players were and how little the field looked. When you watch it on TV it's the complete opposite the players look small and the field looks huge. As always Rob spent most of the game continuing to explain penalties to me. I am sure that by the end of Chris' football season and this college and NFL season I will finally have a complete understanding of the rules of football.

Did I mention that the Coug fans are absolutely annoying? Everytime the Cougs got a 1st down the entire stadium would yell, "That's another Cougar 1st down!" We came to the conclusion that the fans excitement over 1st downs must come from the fact that the Cougs getting one are few and far between. All the Cougs momentum really came to end when USC drove 99 yards for a touchdown early in the 4th quarter. This drive was sweet for us because it put us up close and personal with the teams.

The Trojans won the game and that is all that really matters. Rob & I got the family lost trying to find where the heck we parked our car. We walked a good mile or so out of our way because Rob thought he knew a short cut and I followed. This really turned out for the best because by the time we got back to the car most of the traffic had died down.

We have tickets to one more game this year: Boise St. vs Idaho in Moscow, Idaho. This should be another good time for the Stevens Family!
