Taking in Drake AND Iowa State Football Games

TWO games in ONE day? Yep... without really trying! Linda and I like to get out on nice autumn days and this was one not to miss. We sat in the sun at Drake Stadium and watched the Bulldogs match wits with Davidson, a pretty consistent power in the Pioneer League. The game was a pretty even affair but ended with Drake up 20-17... my favorite ending!
Later that afternoon, we hooked up with a friend of mine who had two extra tickets that we could use so we made the drive up to Ames to see the Cyclones take on Texas A & M. It was more of the big time football experience: excellent marching band before the game and at half time, extremely geared fans, good football, and, when the going gets tough, the voice of dissent. Iowa State ended up on the short end of the score but we had a good time!
