Why CMU soccer is enjoyable to look at – The Tartan

By: Benner Rogers

As a member of the world-renowned Carnegie Mellon Kiltie Band, I’m one of many few college students who really exhibits as much as the soccer video games. Even although I’m solely within the stands to get my candy Kiltie Band varsity jacket, generally I depart a recreation wishing that extra of my fellow Tartans would take a break from finding out for midterms to look at some good old school American enjoyable. And wow, the Saturday recreation towards McDaniel definitely deserved extra applause than even the Kilties can muster up.

I’m undoubtedly no soccer skilled, however even I can inform you {that a} rating of 56-0 within the first half of the third quarter is criminally excessive. The incontrovertible fact that the Green Terrors had the morale to maintain enjoying in any respect is, fairly frankly, astonishing. Carnegie Mellon scored so many touchdowns that I used to be scarcely in a position to set down my flute earlier than I needed to rise as soon as extra for the struggle tune. The recreation didn’t finish till 5 p.m. as a result of we merely couldn’t cease scoring. And the -4 dashing yards McDaniel ended the sport with converse for themselves. Honestly, when the Green Terrors managed to attain their one and solely landing (with 10 seconds left on the clock) I felt a bit of proud. Hopefully it was sufficient to raise their spirits for the bus trip again to Maryland.

The Tartans placed on a completely stunning efficiency this Saturday. But should you seemed on the stands, you’d by no means know. I’m pleading with the scholar physique of Carnegie Mellon: Please go to a soccer recreation. You don’t need to know the principles of the sport, and even what’s taking place, however you’ll be shocked by how a lot enjoyable it’s to heckle strangers with your mates. Get your coronary heart out of the work and onto the sector. And hey, when you’re there, keep and watch the most effective halftime present on this aspect of the Allegheny!
