Your first football game, in GIFs

Mercer’s football team may have been happening since last year, but this year, they’re in action. There are tailgating events, new rules about alcohol on campus, and a lot of people showing up for the first game. In retrospect, it may all seem like a confused blur of orange and black. Fear not! In summary, this is what the first football game was like (in GIFs).

Waking up Saturday morning and people were already tailgating

Realizing that Mercer’s team isn’t half bad
