The Football Team

For those who are into football, you are probably aware that the Dartmouth College football team doesn't have the greatest track record. In fact, before this year, we had a losing season. But don't be fooled-- even with a losing football team, we Dartmouth students know how to have fun.

I distinctly remember first football game. My entire floor, dressed completely in Dartmouth gear, made the trip together down to the football field. You could distinguish between the upperclassmen and the freshmen-- we were all optimistically excited.

We were playing Colgate that day, and there was a sense of anticipation. As you might have guessed, we lost. But it was fun simply sitting with my floormates, boisterous in nature, as we cheered the team on.

We have our avid football fan, Adam, and his roommate, August. We have Amanda, the New Yorker, cheerful and bubbly with an infectious laugh. And of course, there's Emily, the surprisingly loud intellect. Together we embraced Dartmouth's losing tradition, and we will embrace it in the future. Hopefully not forever-- Dartmouth won two games this year against Columbia and Cornell. The future looks bright.
