It’s been one of those rains that just won’t stop. Hard, soft, drizzle, drips, but always something. Three days so far. After a hundred and twenty years of working on campus drainage we don’t get the kind of epic floods we used to, but this is still a lot. I won’t even show you what the quad looks like.
Just today I came across a bunch of images of a football game played in the rain sometime in the early 1970s. They were in one of the binders full of contact sheets that came in this collection. We have the negatives that go with them but not the time to scan them today, so bear with me here.
It’s interesting that although it was raining pretty hard the student section was fairly full. Enjoyment levels seemed to depend on whether you had possession of an umbrella or not:
II looked closely but can’t figure out which game this was. If anyone has any thoughts about this please feel free to speculate in the comments.
