Rants and Raves with the Editor: Part Three of Ten

After ten minutes of verbal abuse from myself and a few others, the referees decided to consult...with Maryland players! In 16 years of playing soccer, I had never witnessed anything like that. They literally walked up to Maryland players asking what the rule was, and the goal was eventually overturned.
The ref's were the equivalent of FAC employees reffing a game for Loyola's club soccer team, so needless to say, we were pretty upset.
Orioles Baseball
Friday night, my group of friends decided to venture to Camden Yards to watch the Orioles take on the Red Sox. Now I know that the Orioles are over 30 games out of the playoff picture, but that doesn't mean you stop supporting your team.
Red Sox fans overwhelmed Orioles fans in the Orioles home stadium, and that's something I just don't understand. Camden Yards is a great place to watch a game, it's relatively cheap, especially when tickets are six dollars for student night, and it's a home game! Why weren't more Orioles fans there?
I was ashamed to see thousands of Red Sox jerseys compared to the few Orioles jerseys in the stands. And while I'm on the subject of jerseys, if you're going to a baseball game, don't wear a jersey or shirt of a team that isn't playing.
I love the Phillies, but at an Orioles Red Sox game I don't want to see an Utley jersey. And people that wear Yankee jerseys to those games are horrible as well. You're not taking a stand against the Red Sox, you're just being a moron that's going to get targeted by every fan at the game.
Rugby
Rugby season is about to kick into full gear, and everyone on Loyola's campus is excited about it. There's nothing better than tailgating on a Saturday, cooking some burgers and watching guys beat each other up.
The home opener is next week on Parent's Weekend, and everyone should get out to the game if possible. If you haven't been to a rugby game, I highly recommend it.
No club sport gets as much recognition as the rugby team does, and they deserve it. They're consistently good and, as previously stated, their games are some of the most fun to watch.
