As I watched the final seconds of the New Trier Football game vs Barrington I couldn't help but look around and see just how weak our student section was. The student sections, which is about 1/3 of the home teams stands was not even half full. I am normally a positive guy, so I suppose it would be easy for me to say, "oh its ok at least we have half." But after thinking about it I have decided that I am going to be a Negative Nancy. There is no reason that our student section should not be to full capacity and loud as hell at the potential last game of the season. So as I investigated this issue even further I soon found out that the reason our student section was so small was that there were barely any seniors in the stands. This is unforgivable. If its your senior year you must be bleeding Green and Blue at every football game possible. Once I started searching for information I could not stop. However, I wish I had because this next bit of information I am about to share is so gruesome that I didn't sleep a wink last night. The reason that most of the seniors weren't at the football game was because they were at the SOCCER game. Everyone knows that soccer is football and basketballs friend that neither of them like, therefore to skip a playoff football game to go to that soccer game is disgusting. Granted the soccer team is better than the football team, but there is nothing like going to a New trier football home game. Stuffing yourself full of steak sandwiches and watching your friends lay people out, even though watching your friends get hit is very fun too, I can't not think of a better way to spend a Saturday Night. So to all of you seniors out there who skipped the football game. Tisk Tisk

I am sure that a lot of people had a hard choice to make, deciding between the football game and the soccer state championship. I think the reason the seniors went to the soccer game is because there are a lot of seniors on the soccer team. The 09 class wanted a state championship so they picked the team more likely to win one. Wasn't there a girl talk concert on saturday too?
