Bayou Classic Descriptive
The Bayou Classic is the annual college football game and rivalry between Grambling State University and Southern University. The game took place at the Mercedez Benz Super Dome in New Orleans, LA. I've always heard news of the Bayou Classic, but I never had the satisfaction of attending, until my girlfriend bought tickets and invited me to go. As we made our way to the football game parking lot, I couldn't have been more excited. The Bayou Classic is a great sporting event and musical experience.

As soon as we arrived, I was in awe. We hurriedly parked and, I began to take in my surrounding. There were thousands of people haphazardly walking around. The majority of the crowd was black. Also, there were kids and teenagers eagerly playing

The stadium was filled to full capacity with women, men, and children. I could not spot an empty seat in the place. Many spectators were dressed in colors of black, blue, and gold. However, the overall majority of the crowd was dressed in black and red. After the singing of the National Anthem, the football teams flooded the field in grandiose fashion. The crowd became ecstatic. The fans were cheering so loud that neither my girlfriend nor I could hear each other. The first quarter of the game seemed rather dull and mediocre, however by the second quarter, things had become incredibly intense. At the commencement of the second quarter, I could see athletes perform almost superhuman feats such as running, jumping, and throwing. The athletes appeared to be demigods with helmets and modern day gladiators. One player got hit so hard that he was carted off the field. Nonetheless, the game continued without a skipping a beat. During the second quarter, fans continued to cheer and chant for their teams. As the masses roared, the players responded by playing more aggressively. As the game went on, each team proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Each time one team scored, the other team replied with a score of their own. The back and forth scoring kept the fans on edge and tense. By the end of the second quarter, the game had become tied with only the second half

    Football: the All-American sport that can either bring people together or tear them apart. In Remember the Titans’s case, the sport of football brings white and black teenagers together with the help of two coaches – one white, one black. This is a “feel good” film that moves us by the triumph over discrimination but lacks a touch of reality.…

    It was a really hot day. The scorching sun in the sky made it almost impossible to play. When we all got out the truck, we went to the field that we were supposed to play on. There was a game on the field. This meant that we got here early. Of course, most people would use that extra time to warm up. But for me, it was completely different. I sat on the bleachers. I was thinking deeply on my moves in order to bypass the defense. BEEP!!!!! The referee has blown the whistle to end the current game. The whistle snapped me out of what I was thinking. It was our turn to…

    Station Camp was five yards from the end zone when our defense flattened the running back, sending the football to the hands of the tackler. Our defense scored on that play to win the game 26-20 in overtime. The tumultuous crowd became so loud, we couldn't hear each other on the field; but truthfully, we did not need to speak. Who we were spoke so loudly that we did not need to hear each other. Numerous predictions claimed we should have lost that game alongside our already fearful fans. After losing nineteen talented starters in the class above us, an immense void was left to fill by few seniors. So why did we keep playing? The answer is that the visceral integrity ingrained within us would never allow us cease believing in ourselves and let adversity control the outcome of the game.…

    We got to Charlotte, parked, took a good look at each other faces full of eagerness and off we ventured into the private doors to the stadium seats. I remember walking out of the tunnel leading to our seats and the first thing I noticed, to my surprise, was a plethora of green and yellow. Of course there was more black and blue, but I don’t think either one of us expected that many Packer fans. I looked down at the perfect view I had in front of me. The bright green rectangle of fresh turf and huge screens on each side of the field to catch every minute detail amazed me. We were right in the middle of the field and far enough back to watch as each play unfolded. Being so anxious, we arrived 45 minutes before kick-off leaving us with nothing to do but go grab something to eat. We stepped up to the counter to take in the huge sign with a list of foods. I smelled popcorn and although tempting, I knew exactly what I wanted. “What are you getting?” Nick’s voice interrupted my thoughts of food. “The only thing I ever eat, pizza” I replied back truthfully. He bought my pizza and himself a huge double cheeseburger. After inhaling our food (my mother says we eat too quick), The Packers ran out unto the field for warm-ups. Nick and I both cheered and screamed while dirty looks came our direction from Panther fans. Nick laughed at me for immediately taking my phone out and snapping a million pictures but deep down inside I knew he was glad I was doing it so he wouldn’t have…

    The gut-wrenching screech of the whistle shook my ear drums, numbed my chest, and crippled my legs. Prior to this, Pine Richland had kicked a field goal that gave them a three point lead with only seconds left. We had one play to win: a kickoff return to hopefully save not only our season, but to justify the twelve years I had devoted to this game. As the ball was hopping down the field, I stood there trying to stop my hands from frantically shaking. After what felt like an hour, I could finally feel the pigskin leather on my fingertips. I looked up to see the other team stampeding down the field straight for my head. I had to get rid of the ball. To my right, my sweat-soaked teammates had steam rising from the top of their heads and surrounding their bodies. As I threw the ball, the blurred roar of the crowd chilled my bones. I began to run and target an enemy to hit. Inches from me, a white jersey trailed only feet behind my ball-toting teammate; I was a heat-seeking missile and my target was getting warmer. Our bones crunched as our bodies collided. His mouthpiece, accompanied by saliva and mucus, flew from his mouth as his head jerked back from the blow. It was as that white jersey whimpered in pain…

    It was a chilly Thursday night at Arrowhead Stadium and the Kansas City Chiefs were playing the San Diego Chargers. The air smelled of hot dogs and sweat. My grandpa and I were sitting nine rows back on the 50 yard line, Chiefs’ side. There were punters, kickers, running backs, and wide receivers of both teams warming up on the field, and with kickoff nearing, my grandpa and I started getting anxious.With me being younger, I had just gotten done contemplating on whether or not to go to the game, or to go trick-or-treating. Although I missed out on Halloween, I will be forever thankful that I was able to attend the most exciting game I have ever been to.…

    It was a crisp cold fall day at Lambeau field. I could see everything that was happening the whole entire time. The field was as green as a tree in the middle of Summer. The cold wind was whistling in my ear. The smell the hot dogs, burgers, and turf from the field filled my nose as the game begin. All I could hear were people cheering on the Packers and the jumbotron blaring, “Go pack go!” I could see the running back Eddie Lacy drive the ball into the end zone and everyone went wild. A mix people cheering and screaming filled my ears. After the opposing team returned the ball everyone started cheering, “Defense, defense, defense!” The watched the ball get intercepted and run down the field for another touchdown! The crowd roared and I got…

    The fans of the Philadelphia Union create a sort of culture that is unlike anything else. They show up hours before the game to play outside the stadium and then go and celebrate after the game. While commenting on the attendance before, David Sciocchetti now comments on what he saw before the first game, “The other thing was the atmosphere in the parking lot,” he continues. “There were kids kicking balls, grandparents grilling… and the vision of that happening on the Chester Waterfront was certainly intriguing” (Greco). Sciocchetti, on the executive staff of the Union, was amazed how dedicated these fans were.…

    My heart pounds beneath the thick armor like plating that covers my chest. My shoes click and clack on the pavement like a metronome. My brothers are lined up in front and beside me, all wearing the same attire but thinking different thoughts. We march down the black road that seems to stretch for miles to the stadium, reminiscent of the gladiatorial colosseum in days of old. I can just make out our opponents, their white uniforms standing out from the green field like starlight. Our chanting rings out through the night “We are!” I bark, “United!” my brothers roar in reply. This war that we are about to wage, this battle we will fight, this is the glorious game of football.”We are!” I bellow, “United!” They wail. And this night is the very last night that I will don this blue and red armor, for this is my senior night.…

    A. Attention Getter: After the Giants won the Super Bowl in 2012, they did what most football teams do to celebrate. After going to Disneyworld, they held a parade through the streets of New York. During the parade, a fight broke out between a Giants fan and, of course, a Jets fan, the cause of which might seem obvious. Immediately, spectators did what anyone might do when they see a fight break out. They…..pulled out their phones and videotaped it. And from the videos, and there were many, we can see no one, not a single person, jump in and try to break the fight up.…

    I think that was the epitome of what this event was. “Just going through the movements.” Being an athletic trainer, you know I realized there was no athletic trainer to be found, or any medical staff for that matter. Coaches were probably the first responders. A concessions stand was at least set up. Coaches, who wore different colored polos and nothing that said anything about their teams, were concerned about mingling with other coaches and officials in the pre-game. No announcers. Games were played in the SCSU field house and were officiated by officials who do this and high school basketball. Overall, the games were not that entertaining, lacked defense, and was just, “meh”. Also, as far as demographics, the players were about split; 60% white and possibly 40% African American. However, African American parents lacked in attendance; most of the spectators were white. I have a few suspicions why, but we’ll save that for a bit…

    Soon the music stated and the two teams came out. The whole stadium roared into action singing and cheering. I always felt little butterflies in my stomach when I saw Max in his football strip. I was nervous from the minute the starting whistle went. The ball went back and forward to each team member, both teams were putting their all into the game and were fighting for a win. Then twenty minutes into the game City got the goal they needed. Every fan jumped to their feet cheering. I looked down and could see the relief on Max face. Now it was his job to keep the shots out of his net and his team would win.…
