The game wasn't the worst part of Homecoming

I know this opinion is going to be controversial, but the bounce houses last week didn't really strike my fancy.

In today's paper, Sam Tydings talks about his disappointment at the Homecoming game on Saturday:

Finally, it seemed, the Homecoming streak would end and there would be definitive proof that the Mangurian era was not plagued by the “ghosts” he says cause people to constantly doubt the progress of the program.

Before anyone had the time to fully develop those thoughts, any sense of optimism could be found just left of the goalpost as Luke Eddy missed the PAT, meaning that a field goal could win the game for Dartmouth.

While all of us will agree that losing to a school without even a clear mascot (is it the color green or a giant keg?) was extraordinarily lame, I would like to focus on a different part of homecoming: the finger painting, the bounce houses, and lack of any semblance of a college experience.
