Overflowing with Eagle blue!
Eagle fans, can you believe we’re already into gameweek 3? I, for one, can not believe that we are heading into game three this week. Its flying by! Anyway, This week we venture on the road again for the 2 consecutive week going to Pigeon Forge to play the Tigers. This got me to thinking about away games. Honestly, I’m not a big fan of away games, but you have to go on the road sometime. You just can’t get around it.
You play 5 home games and you play 5 away games. But going on the road isn’t my favorite, but I’m beginning to like it as much as home games. Home games are fun because you’re home. You know where everything is. You have a routine. You feel comfortable. Road games are the unknown. Where to park. What is the field like? Where are the restrooms and concession stands? But I’m starting to really like road games because of the unknown. I’m starting to appreciate the process of getting the team to an away game and what it takes to keep the team mentally prepared when you have to ride a bus for an hour and get dressed in a cramped locker room.
What else do I like about away games? I love that our fans travel no matter what. In fact, I don’t think we’ve traveled to any school that’s had enough space for us. From my vantage point on the field, it always looks impressive when I look up to the stands and see it completely full and over flowing with Gibbs blue. Its amazing to think that we have the kind of fan that loves Gibbs football so much. And it’s not just parents, but it’s students and former players and families that travel. As a former Eagle and now the parent of an Eagle, it makes me so proud of my school.
As always, WAR EAGLE!
Love that info about Gibbs Football is so available now! Keep up the good work and Go Eagles!
