The Spirit of Northwestern band is about at half-staff today, in terms of numbers, but if you close your eyes and you're not a musical afficiando, you cannot tell the difference.
Our band at half-speed is better than most any other school's at full tilt.
The sun is shining brightly and fans are still arriving. This will not be a half-filled stadium, which is a shame, but there's no question that playing yesterday, while possible, would not have been prudent. Putting people on the road to the game, wondering if power would hold out (it did on campus, but not throughout Natchitoches for a period in the late afternoon), and having radically different weather conditions affect the outcome of the game would not have been good.
Now we will have a great football game, and I presume a record audience for a home game for the Demon Sports Network!
