Man, I was thisclose to jetting with about six minutes later. We couldn’t stop them for shit and couldn’t move the ball. All of the corn fed fans and their team were about to take down an SEC team on New Years.
Not so fast.
The pendulum swung and knocked them straight in the dick. Just pure elation over one half of the stadium. Our fans were way drunkerer as is typical. Aside from a couple of class A idiots everyone was really cool towards each other, and although I know very little about the Hawkeyes program other than birthing the rolly-polliest little coach in history, the Iowa fans had that same look that we all have had at times over the past 50 years or so of UK football.
We did have a little pregame drama but it didn’t involve players. A few of the rowdier of our fans got pretty fed up with a fire and brimstone preacher outside the stadium gates during the Cat Walk. They ended up mildly assaulting the dude and stealing/smashing his microphone. But dude was as smooth as the very hell he was preaching and pulled out another one without missing a beat. Had to give him props for that even if he was annoying. Seemed to be a weird place to preach. Besides, Iowa is where all the sinners are.
All in all a good time. Now to drive home.
Go Cats.
