Project 365 Day 245: Gameday

When we arrived at our seats, the sun was still showing brightly directly across the field, just above the top row of seats. The first few plays of Iowa State's 2010 football season had already been completed, and it wasn't long after we sat down that we saw ISU score it's first touchdown of the season!

And then we found out that we had actually just seen ISU's first touchdown-called-back-due-to-a-penalty of the season. The drive ended with a missed field goal, so the game was off to a rough start, but eventually the Cyclones got things going against Northern Illinois University. Once the sun went down during the first quarter, we could finally stop squinting to see the game, and a little later on I took this picture.

The game stayed relatively interesting up until the last 10 minutes when ISU ran up the score a little, but overall it was a great night out and good to see us win the first game. I also discovered a dirty little secret about Jack Trice Stadium's foot-long corn dog vendor; the foot-long corn dog is actually made up of two regular hot dogs end-to-end inside the fried batter. I felt like I was missing out on a little hot dog meat there in the middle where the rounded come together.

On the other hand, I think a foot-long amount of any food covered in fried batter is probably more than enough... my stomach thinks so too.
