Saturday morning just seemed to drag by because of my anticipation for the CyHawk game! Thankfully I felt much better Saturday. Friday I had a terrible day at work and to top it off I had a raging headache from noon until the time I went to sleep.
We were only able to watch the first half of the Iowa game because we had to leave for Champaign, but it was an amazing first half! At least for us Hawkeye fans!
I wish I could have been there in person, but there was lots of cheering coming from our house. Yep, even Jacob cheers for the Hawkeyes as long as they aren't playing Illinois. (Which won't happen much anymore due to the Big 10 changes. Booo!) Mom texted me to tell me that they were watching the game on their new 42 inch HD TV. No fair!! Because it's football season a game wouldn't be complete without chips and queso, so I threw out the diet momentarily so I could enjoy some!
After the first half we got ready to head to Memorial Stadium!
Jacob waving the flag I bought for the car. Yeah...I lasted all of 20 minutes before we stopped to take it out of the window. It was making terrible noises and we were fairly certain it was going to break and fly away!
I switched into my Illinois shirt. I had a hard time taking off the Iowa shirt while the game was still going! This is my first orange Illini shirt. I figured after 2 seasons it was time to own my own instead of wearing Jacob's. I love the games. I love to cheer for them, but never ever will you catch me singing, "We're loyal to you Illinois!" or "Hail to the Orange, Hail to the Blue"!! Believe me...my loyalty will always lie with my Hawkeyes!
Those Hawkeyes, by the way, won the CyHawk series once more! GO HAWKEYES!!!!!!!!
We enjoyed the game. I even got to put my hoodie on for the 2nd half. I do love hoodie weather! It was perfect out. I hadn't been hungry at all until half time, so we got some hot dogs. They have the best hot dogs, I tell ya. I believe I described them as, "juicy deliciousness".
Illinois went on to win the game! Nothing like good atmosphere and a win!
I'm already looking forward to this Saturday's game! Hopefully more wins ahead for the Illini and the Hawkeyes!!
did you know that iowa's game isn't on until 9:36 pm?
