Can't forget the Cenex guy:
"Alright Cyclone fans, lets get energized!"laugh:
That guy makes me want to choke babies. Almost as much as pumping up said pasta.
I like the smell of burgers and hot dogs cooking. I love hearing music blasting and people laughing and having a good time. I love talking sports with cyclone fans before games. But, my favorite part is my first step into Jack Trice every year. I get chills every single time im walking up the hill by the hillside and looking down on JTS and seeing the guys warming up. Amazing.
I think you experience similar feelings that i do. Its kind of a weird feeling. I love all the pregame stuff. The guys on the radio. Getting to the stadium early. ..
I love it when it's perfect weather for a game.
Such a great experience inside Jack Trice. I love going to the games. I love everything about the whole saturday. Im usually with a group of friends... and usually, im dragging them to the stadium a half hour early. They don't understand why i want to go watch the team warm up- or listen to the band- you know, just be in the stadium.
Most of you have the same feelings im sure. But i don't know any of you. :dull::smile:
This. No game ever topped the feeling of the first time I entered the field in JTS with my sousaphone, but every game between then and when I left my shoes on the field is a close second!
I love the comradrey(sp?) and feeling of being a family that is being a Cyclone, if you're wearing Cardinal and Gold, you're cool. I never got that feeling growing up going to hawkeye games. That's why I switched. It really is a Cyclone Nation and tailgating/gameday is awesome!
Great thread!! I love walking to the lots with a case of beer in my hand, seeing everybody else tailgating. I love all the sights and sounds of tailgating. The music, smell, crowds of people, the scenery, and the stadium in the background. I love getting to my seat and waiting for the team to take the field. The energy and atmosphere building up to kickoff. The crowd chants students getting rowdy. I love cyclone football and gameday!
Too early to think about this, danig it! We are still nearly 2 months out. My wife says I wish every summer away wishing for college football season to start.
Okay now I am thinking about it:
The current coaching staff on game day...they are organized and have a plan, prior nutts did not.
College Game day on TV
Packing up the SUV the night before and drinking a beer
Time with family and friends tailgating and drinking a beer
The food with a beer
Smell of the grills and drinking a beer
Seeing friends and making new ones and drinking a beer
Again, the smell of the grills and drinking beer
Watching my favorite team!
Slobber knockers on the other team
The sound system....NOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT
Pregame drills from JJ....NNNNOOOOOTTTTTT Thank goodness for JJ, but stop it this year!
Did I mention the smell of the grills and drinking beer!
Playing bag toss and taking a few advil because I have drank a few beers
I love everything about game day except driving back home, although wins make that much better too.

So your favorite part of gameday involves not even going in to the stadium?
Not surprising that we'd end up approaching this discussion. It'll come up every week during the season.
Football can't come soon enough....
I miss getting the truck ready the night before while throwing a couple back.
Not being able to sleep the Friday night before a game.
Waking up gameday morning earlier then I wake up for work most of the time.
Stopping at my buddies to pick him up, followed by Kum and Go hot chocolate.
Unpacking the boards and setting them up before anything else.
Grilling all day long with beer in hand between games of bags.
Having my wife getting mad because I'm drinking too much.
Leaving the tailgate about 45 minutes early to stop and steal a beer from a friends tailgate on the way too the stadium.
Getting in early watching the band.
Team entrance..
In all honesty... I love and miss the whole flippin experience.

The first beer/bloody mary after I get the tailgate all set up.
A lot of the time I'm doing most of the set up while everyone else is drinking and bull ********. Once I can rest, enjoy the atmosphere, and look across at Jack Trice, it all hits you that it's going to be a good day.

Good! I had to take my rowdiness to the regular seating section. :sad: Sitting in the student section was so fun! I guess I could always make my way back there since I'm only 2 years out of college.. :biggrin:
