cyclone state of mind

I love a good rivalry game. I love it even more when my cyclones win it. While the black and gold was busy racking up 40 or so yards of offense in the first half, ISU kept marching down the field, warming up Shaggy for the eventual game winner.

As i talked with my boss before the game, i said how it would be a good game, as long as it didn't come down to field goals... well, i was right on the good game part, but who would have thought isu would actually WIN a game because of their kicking.

I wish i could put into words the excitement of beating Iowa. Even though we have won 7 out of the last 10, it is still a great feeling every time that trophy returns to the hallowed halls of the Jacobsen Building. The excitement of that last second field goal, my heart stopping on that last kick-off return, (what were we thinking??) followed by the joy of thousands of fans pouring over the walls onto the field was such a fitting end to a great game.

I can't wait to hear the Hawkeye fans saying, " who cares, we won a lot in row 20 years ago."


LET'S GO STATE!!!

Not all hawkeye fans were sad to see the hawks lose...in fact there were two in Carlisle cheering Shaggy on!!! ISU still has to work on that offense, but hats off to their defense...
