The Crowd Goes Wild

As I entered into Omega Dormitory this evening, I noticed a larger-than-usual crowd gathered around the television. I decided to join in and watch whatever was attracting the attention of so many. It happened to be an English Premier League (soccer) matchup between Manchester City and Manchester United.

I arrived at the beginning of the second half with a 2-0 score in favor of Manchester City. However, Manchester United stormed back with three goals in the second half, including one in the final minute, to earn the come-from-behind victory. Each time Manchester United scored, all four floors of the dormitory erupted in cheers. I wouldn't be surprised if the neighboring dormitories and houses heard the rumbling from Omega Dormitory.

Though I'm not a huge soccer fan, the sensation felt rather familiar. It kind of felt like I was watching a Packers game in the dormitory back at UW-Eau Claire.
