The Big Splash, ESPN College Game Day, and Homecoming!!

What a Weekend!!! Captain Kapala let the cat out of the bag after a painfully tough interval day on sheep hill, breaking the news to the freshmen, to collective sighs of relief, that they did not, in fact, have a 15 and 20 km time trial the following (Homecoming) morning.
What they did have was a home baked and griddle-fried breakfast spread including veggie and cheese scrambled eggs, fresh raspberry muffins, and wheat waffles with maple syrup: fuel for the long day of cheering ahead!! Everyone decked out in their purple and gold, they headed to the football field to catch a bit of the game-day fever: ESPN was airing live, and had a huge-screen TV set-up so that everyone could see what was being aired ( and hopefully catch a glimpse of their own face in the crowd!)

The ski team, nordic and alpine, had a combined four cars set up at the tailgate - including Scotty McClellan's hand crafted Cow Truck, gold horns gleaming in the early morning sun.
There was, overall, more grilling and eating and hooting and hollering ( and kazoo playing?!) than football watching, as the game was not too close a match. The end score was 20-0, and all Williams fans left the game with full bellies, sun tanned faces, hoarse voices, and overflowing pride.
