Iowa Hawkeyes Game/Brent's Birthday

This past weekend, I headed down to Iowa for Brent's Birthday. I took Friday off from work and headed down around noon (he had to work the night before, so he needed to get some sleep). Once there, we headed to Iowa City for the Big Iowa Hawkeyes game! The game was Saturday at 2:30 pm, but we were up at 5:30 am so we could be at the tailgating spot at 7:00. It was a pretty cold day out, but I really wasn't too bad with all the layers I had on. We even had bagel breakfast sandwiches made for us - yummy!  Even though I'm still struggling to understand the fundamentals of Football, this was a pretty exciting game. Iowa played Penn State who was ranked #3 in the nation and Iowa has not had the best season this year. The first quarter things seemed promising when the hawkeyes scored right away, but the second and third quarters were brutal. Finally in the fourth quarter, Iowa pulled it out with 2 minutes left in the game and beat Penn state 24-23! The fans went nuts and rushed the field. We didn't get out of there until around 7:00 pm, so we spent about 12 hours outside on Saturday - CRAZY!!
