Washburn, FTW!

Well Washburn fans, the football season got kicked off last night with a warm night filled with smoke from tailgaters, collegians and alumni laughing and enjoying the buzz in the air and a new edition to the tailgating festivities:  a kid zone!!  While the Ichablogger would have  much preferred a kick-off temp of about 15 degrees coolers, it was a perfect night for the home opener.  It was lovely to see the usuals, and even more exciting to see the new faces and the expressions of all the mini-bods while playing in the kid zone.  Lots more photos after the jump!

Sig Eps in the house!

The kid zone!  This mini-Bod couldn't wait to get to play.

WOO-HOO!!!

Let's go Washburn!

The Marching Ichabods sounded great.

Buhler.  Buhler.

That joke never gets old.

Great catch!

 Can your yell leaders do that?

 Jeremy Linn for the kick off!  Not that Jeremy, THIS Jeremy.

Coach Timmy!

Piper with the hand off.

 Outta my way, son!

 Bod Squad keeping up the spirit.

And how cute is the mini Bod heard after the Bod Squad's cheer?

 Sooo...apparently a Loper is a reindeer during the off season?

 Huddle up!

 This was a scary moment.

But he bounced up after a bit.

*whew!*

 This Ichabod family knows how to kick back and enjoy a night of WU football. 

 The marching Ichabods and Dancing Blues looked great!

 Spirit squad members are more than happy to pose with the smallest Ichabods!

 Good for a Washburn...FIRST DOWN!!

 Buhler with a pass.

 I spy some interference!

 I also spy some laundry on that play.

 Down. Set....

 TOUCHDOWN!

What a cutie!  And that little girl is pretty cute, too.

Another future Ichabod enjoying the game.   Why not bring your own family and friends to Washburn's next home game.  It's Saturday, September 15.  Kick-off is 6:00.  Join the Washburn Alumni Association's tailgate party at 4:30.  It's free for dues paid members or $5 a person for non-paid dues members.  Help us cheer on the Ichabods!
