♥ homecoming much?
Did you know that people actually went to high school football games that weren't their own homecoming?
Because apparently they do. Waryan has been talking about it ALL week, and I've gotta tell you, I really don't get it.
Here's the deal: apparently Friday was Bear Creek's homecoming game, and even though Lakewood doesn't totally suck this year, they decided they would play us. So Waryan's like, "Okay, everyone, you need to wear orange and there needs to be a bunch of you, and you're all going to go to this game, and if you don't buy tickets in advance it's going to take you forty-five minutes to get in, okay?"
What. The. Hell.
First of all, why would I want to go to another school's homecoming game?! Which brings me to my next question, which is why would I want to go to a game that I hope my team loses? I know that sounds lame, but I seriously think it's so dumb to beat another team at their own homecoming. Even if they suck, for God's sakes, let them win their own freaking homecoming game.
This leads to my next ponderance regarding Mr. Waryan's 2,948,502,985 announcements about this week's game: why is LHS a bunch of jerks?! Yes, let's go to another school's homecoming and wear our colors! That way we can either taunt them if they lose their own homecoming game, or we can feel like idiots for going to their game and losing. And cheering for the team that should lose, because you should always win your own homecoming game.
Am I making my point here? I think I'm kind of talking in circles at this point.
But because I don't like to just bitch, I'm going to propose a solution to this problem. It's going to solve a number of problems, as a matter of fact.
Question: What are freshmen good for?
Answer: Nothing. Except, maybe, giving sophomores and upperclassmen someone to pick on. I say, let's bank on that! Every school has a freshman football team, right? Here's what we do. Instead of sending the varsity team to play at another school's homecoming, we send the freshman team! See where I'm going with this? There's absolutely no way that any school's varsity team, even Ranum's, could not beat a freshman team! This means that not only do we not have to worry about weird fall sports schedules (because ADs go out of their way to make sure they're playing the crappiest possible team for homecoming), but won't every school's freshman team get better too if they actually have to play a real team? I'm creating a whole new generation of really good football players!
See? It's pretty simple.
P.S. Bear Creek beat us. Take that, Mr. Waryan and mean LHS orange wearers!
