As this was ISU's Homecoming game, I helped to push LaVonne in her wheelchair for today's festivities. This morning we went over to the Bergstrom practice facility where the ISU Alumni Band practiced the songs and went through the choreography for the formations. After that we took group pictures, had lunch in the Scheman building, and eventually marched our way towards the football stadium. I stood on the sidelines with LaVonne, aunt Susan, and LaVonne's friend Gail. This was the fourth year in a row that I have helped push LaVonne onto the field while she performed with the Alumni Band. Last year Kansas State defeated ISU, two years ago Iowa State beat Texas, and three years ago ISU defeated Toledo for homecoming. It's not bad that ISU is 3-1 in the homecoming games I have helped with :)
It has been quite a while since I've seen two top-25 football teams play. I believe the last game I attended that matched two ranked teams was back in 2002 when Seneca Wallace led the #19 Cyclones over #20 Nebraska, 36-14. As far as I can remember, those have been the only two games I've been to that have been top-25 showdowns, and I am glad to say that ISU is 2-0 in them!
This was the 3rd time that I have seen ISU play TCU in football. The first time was back in 2005 when TCU beat Iowa State in the Houston Bowl. Then in 2015 TCU beat ISU in Ames, 45-21. It was nice to get a little revenge for those games with the win today!
