"Are you pumped?!?!"

It's Saturday and I've just made the hike of my life making it up to section 509 row CC for the Tech vs. Furman football game. Behind me is a group of guys who are decked out in their Tech football gear already jumping and cheering for the game to start. I knew that this was going to be an exciting game, especially if I had a group like this right next to me. Then another of their friends comes to join them making comments like 'I've never worked this hard to get to a seat,' and 'I think I'll just die here,' when he was only a few steps away from his seat. Each of his comments elicits a laugh from everyone around us and I can tell it was exactly the reaction he wanted. As he joins his other friends there is plenty of back slapping and cheering and shouts of 'You pumped yet man?' This starts a whole new set of cheering and jumping. Then the game begins and everyone is drawn into the excitement and cheers throughout the whole stadium. The group behind me starts each and every cheer in our little area, be it a 'Let's go... Hokies,' or a 'Tyrod Taylor' chant, and it makes the game that much more exciting. Then we start to score and that just amps the guys up even more than they were before and you can see how their excitement is slowly passed on to everyone around them. First, they stand up and then slowly everyone else around them stands, maybe so that they can see around them but still they're standing. The more excited the guys get the more they start talking to everyone around them. By the end of the game everyone was pumped up and jumping and screaming just because of the excitement that this group of Hokies brought to the area.
