On Saturday, the Huskies celebrated homecoming with a 45-14 defeat of the Buffalo Bulls. While there was plenty of action on the field to keep fans attentive, some of the more interesting happenings came in the stands and the tailgating areas.

Katie Leb: Another homecoming has come and gone. The broken beer bottles have been cleaned up and the fans have sobered up. Unfortunately, I find the fact that there were so many bottles to clean up disgusting.

Andrew Singer: I’m sorry that I’m not sorry, Katie. No sober person wants to deal with the aftermath of a liquored-up fan base, but the fact of the matter is that most of the average college football fan’s emotion on game day is fueled by that delicious Keystone Light. How else can the students keep up their voices for four quarters? I dare you to try that without some dizzy water in your veins.

KL: Call me a prude, Andrew, but where I come from, north of the Illinois border, people will at least put their trash near the receptacle if it is full. The mess left behind for workers to clean up was not located in a respectable gathering area, but instead apparently dropped wherever people let go. When I went for a walk Sunday morning (yes, the a.m.), the remnants of the previous afternoon’s activities were littered across Parking Lot K and the open field next to Huskie Stadium.

AS: Littering can not be endorsed by any logical person. With that being said, people have to accept the fact that this is a college football game. Not a peewee football matchup or a debate club meeting. Pure and simple, there are always going to be some people too inebriated to even locate the bathroom let alone find a trash receptacle.

KL: That’s why I applaud those few fans sober enough to remember what happened in the second half. Unfortunately, far too many of the fans were inebriated to the point of passing out on the metal plank that became a resting place. Too often I heard people discussing how buzzed they were more than how Chad Spann should have cut to the outside instead of running into a brick wall up the gut.

AS: Sacrificing game details for a good game face happens all over the sporting world. I know quite a few fans that opted to get drunk before Super Bowl XLI, and couldn’t even remember the Windy City flyer Devin Hester bringing the opening kickoff back for a touchdown. That boggled my mind, but the sad reality is that when the average college sports fan is faced with the death defying decision: beer or sports? Most fans will take the former and get drunk enough to imagine a football game.

KL: Just call me soberly bitter. I accept it.

AS: Well, I’m glad you mentioned that because this weekend features a home football game and in preparation for Halloween I’m dressing as the ultimate man, Kenny Powers. So, obviously I need someone to hold my luscious mullet back when I inevitably find my 30-pack of beer disagreeing with me.
