Hello Awesome People!
As it says in the Band Bible (Embo 3:50), "If every week were Big Game Week, we'd all be dead."
I suppose that doesn't preclude Big Game Week itself from killing us, but, good news, WE'RE STILL ALIVE!
Yes, Band survived the epic BGW '07. After about 18 hours of solid Band-ing on Saturday, we are all still too deep in recovery mode to write a proper blog post, but you can expect a jam packed post later this week, after all the hilarious moments, inspirational stories, and stark, embarrassing photos have been collected. Highlights to look forward to: A new Band Staph takes office and kicks the old jerks to the curb, the toobz get a new bell painting, the trumpz build something of remarkable utility, and outgoing Band manager Slater contemplates life "on the outside." Do they give a Pullitzer for bloggery? How about a Nobel? If not, maybe they will soon, because the impending BGW recap will rank right up there with triumphs of human expression like To Kill a Mockingbird and The Big Lebowski.
And now something important: Yes, this was a 4-8 football season. But this was also the season Stanford Football defeated (and ruined the national title hopes of) the Evil Empire of Southern California (U$C) on the road despite astronomical odds, and brought the Axe home after a drought that was getting depressing (my fellow seniors and I are especially grateful for that). Those were two great wins (which Band had the immense, unforgettable pleasure and honor of witnessing) and we couldn't be prouder.
Catch ya later this week!
