The game was originally scheduled for 11:00 this morning, but due to heavy rain the kickoff was pushed back to 1:00. That just made for more time to tailgate! I enjoyed myself with the usual group (Kyle Perkins, Dan Becker, Ryan Butler, Chris Schroeder...). The tailgate involved three canopy tents lined up with everyone huddled underneath them trying to stay out of the rain. All of the grass lots were closed, so we were parked over in the paved section of vet med. Originally I had wanted to bring Nolan to this game, but with all of the rain forecast for today it seemed best not to.
Once the game started, the weather had actually turned quite nice. I sat with Brian and Sullivan Gleason, who had made the trip up from St. Louis for the game. We had pretty good seats, between the north 30 and 35 yard lines on the west side, in section 7. Brock Purdy played well for Iowa State, accounting for 2 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns of his own. The Cyclones also had a defensive touchdown by Eyioma Uwazurike, who scooped up a fumble on the 1 yard line, after the TCU quarterback was sacked by O'Rien Vance.
Today marks the 4th football game that I have attended between Iowa State and TCU. The Cyclones also won back in 2017, while TCU prevailed in 2015 and in the Houston Bowl back in 2005.
