SiMPSON DiD iT!

...we UPSET our BiGGEST RiVAL, the Central Dutch in a nervewracking, but AMAZiNG football game last Saturday!

It was a COLD, COLD day, but the STORM was HOT...we went ahead 17-7; Central fought back to tie it (thankfully we held 'em to only a field goal) & the game went in to OT. We scored on a 2nd down 25 yard pass. Then on Central's 2nd down, STORM senior Tim Stover INTERCEPTED it to WiN 24-17! The fact that it was AT CENTRAL made the win even better.

I wish I could see the replay! :D

This was the PERFECT end to a 7-3 season & PERFECT beginning to a new SiMPSON STORM DOMiNATiON..it was very special for the seniors, the NEW coaching staff, the 8 SPiRiTED shirtless guys cheering on a freezing day, & the entire SiMPSON community.

The SIMPSON COLLEGE "YELL LIKE HELL"!

...that's right, one of the biggest & most fun Homecoming events on campus! It's an absolute blast and was one of my favorite events as a student because it's a time when everyone is packed into Hopper Gym and you can truly hear & feel the Simpson Storm Spirit from the entire campus community!

Any student organization from the Greek houses to the women's basketball team can put together a cheer, chant, or dance to present in front of the audience and judges. Most of them come in some sort of costume and have spent hours on rehearsing - pride is the prize & it's a big one here! They vote on the top three groups. Yell Like Hell is also the night where the Homecoming King & Queen are crowned, as well as the cheer and dance teams perform.

I thought of this blog topic because I ran across a few of the groups on You Tube. I was so excited, since I was traveling during the Homecoming this year. It was fun to watch & I wanted to share 'em with you. They're posted below the pictures. Perhaps someday, it will be YOU helping your group take home 1st place...
