Rushing the Field

by Papa K on September 5, 2011

College Football started this weekend and we headed down to Stanford to root on the Cardinal in their first game of the year. Maile hung out at Wills’ house for most of the game (while Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the tailgate) – but we brought her over towards the end. Stanford does this really cool thing where they let “kids” rush the field about 10 minutes after the game ends. We decided to hang around and check it out.

It was pretty crazy, but Maile grasped the game plan right away: Stanford put up the “W” so she went to celebrate! She loved it and, incredibly, didn’t get taken out by one of the older kids…

(Dad note: It is funny to me that when I was in college, they spent a lot of time trying to keep us from rushing the field after Stanford victories and yet they invite youngers kids to do it. No wonder college students rush the field, like Maile, they’ve been doing it since they were 2!)
