GREAT TO BE A HAWKEYE!!!

HAWKEYES 35 -  Cyclones 3

Now THAT'S more like it!!!!  Joel and I ventured to Ames with our friends Michael & Rachel for the IOWA/ISU game.  They both went to ISU, needless to say, the 4 of us were sporting different colors: )  We got to meet Rachel's folks (who are "fo-nominal"; ), and I got to see Larissa too (which was long overdue!)  Even though Joel & I were the only two sporting black & gold at our tailgate, we suprisingly didn't get too much grief before the game, and it's a good thing too or we would have been dishing it right back out afterwards!!   Joel & Michael insisted that the 2 of them sit together "just a few rows down" from Rach and I.... well their "few rows" actually meant row 3 on the 40 yard line right behind the Iowa bench.  Rachel and I were actually about 3 rows from something as well... unfortunately in our case it was from the top of the stadium!  Hah!  But actually, we had a great view of the game from our seats!  And oh what a game it was!!!  35 to 3 goodguys!  I was impressed with Brandon Wegher... I think he ran for over 100 yards.  Not bad for a freshman!  I think between he and Robinson, we'll be alright (as long as they keep Paki out of there- hehe)  I thought the hawks looked good after they got the 1st quarter under their belts.  Let's just hope we can keep this winning streak going... knock-knock (that was me knocking on wood: )  Anyway, it was great to get a big W over the cyclones, and IT'S GREAT TO BE A HAWKEYE!!!  We are definitely looking forward to a great weekend ahead too as the Hawks take on Arizona!  My cousin, Monica, will be here from California, so we're really looking forward to giving her a taste of HAWKEYE FOOTBALL!!!  The Steffen's will be down from Minnesota too, so I can't wait!  It's bound to be a GREAT weekend!!!
