The Sketchy Pep Rally

So this week is homecoming week. Everyone is full of the "True Blue" Cougar Spirit and campus has a new "bounce" and excitement to it, even though it finally got below 60 this week. So here's the creepy story... On Tuesday I picked up the University Paper like I always do. But this time there was a big red stamp on it that said http://www.smootwaswrong.com/ and I thought that was a little weird. I looked at the other papers and some of them had the same stamp. I went to class and pulled out the little side table thing and taped to it was a paper with the same website. Sketchy? Yes. So I hurried over to the library and went to the website and there was this little story about how the campus burned down in its early years and Smoot deemed it a failure. And then you had to fill out this little clue box. After you did that it took you to an invitation. This was even more creepy. So if course I had to tell my friends and we all made plans to go to it. It was wednesday night in the stadium. We went there and there were posters with the website all over the place. We all went and sat down and there were probably like 100 people there. And it was all dark. We almost left because we had midterms to study for but then Max Hall, the quarter back and all the seniors on the football team came running out. They talked to us about school spirit. I felt like I was at one of our weekly pep rallys during high school, it was sorta lame. And then the marching band came out and played the fight song, this was probably the best part. And then they had this big firework display. I think they expected more people to show up, but it was creepy how they did it and only lame freshman (yes, that's me) came to see what it was. Overall, it was very creepy and sketchy at the same time. Here are some pictures of the posters, the pep talk, and then like half of the group that I got to come with me.
