lawrence weekend

Here are some photos from this past weekend at Lawrence. Lawrence is a small, 160 year old liberal arts college of about 1500 students. The campus is gorgeous and all the students we encountered were really polite and friendly. I quickly realized that football Saturdays at Lawrence are a lot different from the ones I remember from my days at Michigan State.

Friday night was the dinner honoring Hall of Fame inductees:

All about Matt. What's that you say? You'd like to see a close-up of his head shot?

Saturday the inductees were introduced at halftime during the football game. Before the game we bought some Lawrence gear, walked around campus, visited the basketball gym and saw where Matt's plaque is going to hang, and attended a tailgate where we ate brats and Matteo ate a face full of grass.

Finally, Matteo went to his first bar, The Viking Room, which is housed in the basement of the student union.

I ordered 'The Lawrencian' - blue curaƧao, Malibu and sweet and sour mix - and promptly felt sick to my stomach after three sips.

Ahh college. Good times.

  2. There were a bunch of student athletes at the dinner and it was fun eavesdropping while they were checking out the mullet. They were all quite impressed.
