You know it is going to be a little different when an upperclassmen took offense to the signs the visiting team had put up on their side of the field and sent 1,000 plebes across to remove them.
Lou Holtz used to tell a funny story about when he coached at William & Mary. They went up to play Navy and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium has the names of famous battles fought in the Pacific during WWII printed on the walls above the seats. Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and the like. Lou says one of his players comes up to him before the game and says "Coach, we can't possibly win this game." Lou asks why and the kid points to the names and says "Look at the schedule they play".
