False Start
“I always forget how centralized small Eastshore is, but I was reminded when we walked out of the locker room a couple hours after the game.
University Road was packed with people. Not just students and alumni who’d been at the game, but others who made their way downtown to support us. We were driven—with a police escort, no less—to the main campus, and paraded out in front of a waiting crowd. They had us stand in front of a big, bronze statue of a tiger, and we were subjected to photos, inqui...ries from student journalists, and questions from fans.
Things didn’t really wind down until 9 PM, at which point we ended up heading to The Top for some celebratory burgers. Ben kept the place mostly exclusive, packed end to end with football players who were wild and rowdy. It was a massacre. We probably ran the place out of beef and chicken wings.
Not to mention beer. Even though the freshmen didn’t partake, the guys drained enough pitchers to fill Holden Lake.
By eleven, it seems like I’m one of the last guys here who isn’t fall-down drunk.MoreLess
