I tried to buy black and gold ribbon at Wal-Mart on Tuesday night and they had absolutely none. All the other colors were still neatly in the ribbon racks, but the black and gold slots were completely empty.
Its like the night before Christmas around Iowa City today. You know, if your Christmas celebrations had an ESPN GameDay crew and 500 journalists showing up in your living room. There are supposedly 200 photographers credentialed for the sidelines! I don’t think they’ll all fit on our sidelines… someone’s going to end up with a receiver in their lap.
I need to run a few errands after work (my hair dryer decided today was a good day to die) and then catch up with whatever kids are already in town. I know Jenniffer & Donor are heading into town tonight. In addition to the roasting of “Jim Tressel” tomorrow at the Kinnick Culinary Society tailgate, I have a breakfast invitation to Doogie’s tailgate.
What to wear? The weather looks nice, but its going to be chilly at 8am and 11pm. Of course I bought a new black Iowa shirt earlier in the week before I knew it was “Be Bold, Wear Gold” weekend. Oh well, I have enough gold shirts to muddle through.
If you’re going to be at the game tomorrow, hope to see you. Otherwise, we’ll miss you! Be sure to get your butts in front of a tv tomorrow night and GO HAWKS!!
