Thursday Night Lights

Hope was running high in Ames last night. The weather was beautiful. ISU has a new coach, new systems, new players, new attitude. The tailgating was in full effect. Reports were coming in from patients that traffic was snarled up all over town. We hurriedly bolted out of the office with my brother and sister-in-law so that we could get to the game before kickoff. The team emerged from the smoke filled tunnel to 47,000+ people cheering. They teed it up and proceeded to...

STINK IT UP!

They were terrible. On both sides of the ball. It was very difficult to watch. If not for a couple of fortunate turnovers deep in ISU territory, we could have very well lost by another 10-14 points. My expectations for this season were fairly low anyway, but this game was one I thought was going to be a notch in the "Win" column. It's hard to believe, but we may actually be worse than last year.

It's going to be a looooooooong season in Cloneville.
