Project 365 Day 324: Cyclone Gear

Today was Iowa State's final football game of the regular season against Missouri, and it was the first real chilly game of the football season. We decided to go and see the seniors in their last game, as well as cheer the Cyclones on for their last chance at six wins and a chance to go to a bowl game.

Given the winter temperatures, we decided to stock up on a few extra pieces of Cyclone gear today, pictured here. The blanket and hats (and thermal underwear, not pictured) were helpful in raising our body temperature a few degrees, but unfortunately the football team was not able to warm our blood a little more with any scoring. While the defense played reasonably well against a tough Missouri team and the offense was able to move the ball, we couldn't put it in the end zone or through the uprights. Missouri won 14-0.

It was still a fun season, and great to see Iowa State in so many games. Paul Rhoads has things on the right track in Ames, and hopefully future seasons will be just as gripping, with a few more games going our way.
