Students got ready for the game at Kamine Gym Thursday night during the annual Rivalry Weekend pep rally. There was a Mountain Hawk wing-eating contest, a Toss the Hawk event, and a Lafayette Spirit Costume competition. Comedians Myq Kaplan, from the latest season of “Last Comic Standing,” and Ben Bailey, the host of “Cash Cab” on the Discovery Channel, closed out the night. Check out a photo gallery from the pep rally.
