I had the most incredible weekend ever!! Like I said before, I missed out on UIWs first football season, because I was abroad last fall. With the RED C starting up on campus, I was stoked to be attending my first football game on Saturday. I was working the FYE tailgate for an hour before the game started, and I was very surprised at how amazing the tailgate section was. Of course Greek life was out there, but there were a ton of other organizations out there with tents set up throughout the parking lot. A lot of people use the tailgates as fundraisers, so I expected everything to cost money. HOWEVER, there was tons of free stuff! Raul from first year engagement was BBQing at my tent, and another tent close by had food as well. Some tents had free hair spraying and face painting. Others just had knick knacks to pass out before the game to get the crowds rowdy. THE RED C went in awhile before the game started, and we designated our own student section. We had signs and we all stood and yelled back and forth with the cheerleaders. The school is being so supportive of our group, so they gave us special treatment. We got to go down onto the field and make the tunnel for the football game started and after halftime when they run back onto the field. Some people in the group stepped up and led group cheers, and everyone seemed to have a great time. We are so excited that UIW has an official band for the games, because we got to dance to everything that they played for us. For the next game we are going to have our own song that we officially play during the fourth quarter of every football game. We are having a meeting this Friday to go over all other ideas to incorporate for the next game. THE RED C IS HERE!! GO CARDINAL PRIDE!!
