It's a great day to be a Hawkeye!

On October 11th, the Iowa Hawkeyes came to Bloomington to play the Indiana Hoosiers. Nick and I had been planning to go to this game all year! We had tickets and decided we were going to tailgate before the game. Even though our tickets were in the Indiana student section, we decided to support Iowa and wore Hawkeyes shirts. Nick did wear an IU hat, but no one really said anything to us anyway. We got to the tailgate area around 9 am to find a good place, and we happened to find a spot next to some Iowa fans. One of the guys used to live in Marshalltown, so it was neat to talk to them. Four of our friends tailgated hamburgers, hot dogs and all the sides with us, but they were all wearing Indiana shirts. It was a noon game, and we got into the stadium just in time to see both the Iowa and Indiana marching bands perform before the game. The game was really exciting for us, but the IU fans around us weren't quite as happy. The game ended with a win for Iowa of 45-9!! We were hot, but really excited.
