This morning I woke up early so I could be out at the tailgate lots by 7:30, to have some fun before the Cyclones kicked off against Oklahoma at 11:00. Unfortunately, as has been the case most of the season, the Cyclones ended up on the wrong end of the scoreboard, 27-13.
The tailgate was fun at least. We set up under the southwest corner of the Scheman building, so we did not have to worry about putting up any tents. Dan had his blackstone griddle, and he fried up bacon, hash browns, and eggs, and we made breakfast bowls.
As for the game, the Cyclone offense just could not get anything going. Hunter Dekkers unfortunately threw 3 interceptions, and our running game was mostly non-existent. I believe that today was the fourth time that I have attended an ISU football game vs Oklahoma (2018, 2014, and 2012 were the others). The Sooners are the only Big 12 team that I have not seen the Cyclones defeat in person, and with the Sooners set to leave for the SEC in a few years, I might just be out of luck with that.
Another fun thing to note today was that Maxwell was able to ride a bicycle without training wheels for the first time today! Elizabeth had him practicing, and he was able to ride all the way over the Daley park by himself.
