Go Hawks!

Football season is upon us. One blowout, one game that was a LOT closer than it should have been. But I am not complaining, because anytime you turn the ball over 4 times in a game you should lose without question. So the overtime victory with the amazing defensive stand is good enough for me. However, probably not good enough to beat Iowa State, so step it up boys.

At last...

Hawkeye football has come around (all apologies to Etta James). First tailgate of the year with the new seat buddies. No worries, once I figure out where the old tailgate buddies are hanging on Game Day, I plan to come hang out for a bit during each game day. Meanwhile, this is the first year I have "big boy" tickets. That is to say, the first time I have sat somewhere in Kinnick Stadium that was not with the HMB or in the student section. Nice seats, 35 yard line, row 7, a little too close to the visiting fans section, but pretty good seats nonetheless.
Good game, but I had to leave in the 2nd quarter to go to the wedding of a high school friend of my girlfriend. Nice wedding, good time and I feel like I didn't miss anything too important from the game.
In conclusion, it was a good kickoff to the season, a decent tailgate that served as a practice run for the rest of the season. Looking forward to a great football season and seeing a lot fo old friends around Kinnick. GO HAWKS!
