When I was sitting in the team meeting today preparing for Hiram, I realized that the season is reaching the end. However, this past week will be a week that I will never forget. On Monday after practice, Coach Raeburn told the team that there was going to be a team activity on Wednesday night after practice. Nobody knew what the Coach Raeburn had in store for us. So after practice on Wednesday, everyone quickly showers up and gets a bite to eat before we had to get on the bus for our team activity. The team activity consisted of driving to Indianapolis to go to a haunted house. The haunted house was a hit by the entire team. Everyone had a great time and found out some information that people did not know. We found out that Coach Tony is scared of clowns, Coach Gilbert can be frightened and was by a human who walks on all fours, and numerous members of the football team were terrified of the chainsaw killer. However, the most memorable moment of the entire night was watching Jake Kolisek, Kyle Najar, and Dan Ryan Wood run out of the haunted house in nothing but their boxers. The site of them running out was a hit with everyone. The best part was watching Kyle trip and fall and frantically trying to grab his articles of clothing that he dropped.

Then on our way to Oberlin for our game, we made a detour and stopped in South Bend at the College Football Hall of Fame. This was an incredible experience for me, since I have never been there before. We were able to walk around and see various parts of college football history, such as previous Division 3 national champions, winners of Division 1 bowl games, and numerous college football legends. The most interesting par t of the hall of fame was seeing that the Wabash and DePauw rivalry is one of the top ten biggest rivalries. After going to the hall of fame, we got back on the bus and completed the great week by defeating Oberlin 41-9. By going to the haunted house and College Football Hall of Fame, it is evident that Wabash football likes to have a good time and those two experiences will be ones that I will never forget.

WABASH ALWAYS FIGHTS!
