UT’s Tailgaters

UT Team Spirit is never more obvious than on Homecoming week. Plus, wherever there is food, there are students.

After an interesting parade around campus, students were able to go to the McNiff parking lot to partake in some delicious tailgating food.

While it is true that UT does not have the traditional football team, there is an awesome soccer team that was able to replace the need of “tradition.”

At the tailgating party you could find a variety of barbeque food that could satisfy anyone’s hunger.

“There was a lot of good food.” said Christina Rodriquez.

There was so much food and so many people that it was even difficult to find a comfortable seat to eat at.

There were a couple of round tables to accommodate such enthusiastic fans.

However, they were not enough, as students quickly filled up the seats. Now students have a heads up to show up early next year in order to get a seat.

What began with the people that participated in the parade ended up in a frenzy of supporting fans.

Everyone showed up in their best reds and blacks with sororities and fraternities contributing their own support.

“There was even a guy dressed up as a Spartan!” said one enthusiastic fan.

In the hour that led up to the big homecoming soccer game there was great food and even better school spirit, it was no wonder our team won this year’s homecoming game.
