One Week Away!
- Thread starter TruClone
- Start date
Well I put in my 2 weeks at work since I found another job, and it just so happens that my last day is Wednesday, September 2nd, and I don't start my new job until September 14. How convienent how it works itself out huh?
I will be up there once the lots open, so around 1 or 2.
GO CYCLONES!

So what you're saying is you'll be tailgating for 12 days straight - from the NDSU game to the Iowa game. Awesome! :biggrin:
Oh, and thanks to the magic of the internet, I have a ride to the game and back (even though it's leaving at 5:45 am :skeptical: ), a couple different tailgates to hang out at AND a free ticket. Thanks HUCAC! :smile:

Hopefully in Ames a little before noon. Will have grill, bison steaks, beer, chips, beer, stereo, beer, well you get the idea.
Working until 11:30 or so and then grabbing a few people and heading up. Grill, beer, food and games.
Just need to remember to pack the car the night before the game this time...

I didn't mean burn yourself out tailgating, I meant those 45 long minutes at the office! :wink:
I will be putting in an entire 4 hours of what I'm sure will be very productive work, and then being up in Ames around 1:00.
I just found out instead of having the entire day off Thursday, i have to work until 11 on Thursday :sad::cry: Now I'll have to pack everything up the night before. Our group plans to leave Des Moines around 11:30 - Noon and arrive in ames by noon or 12:30. Bust out all the gear and enjoy ourselves. We're fying up some buffalo wings with an assortment of sauces. We'll have plenty of beer and strip and go nakeds for beverages. Fun will be had by way of Polish horseshoes, baggo, and flippy cup.
Also my son's first tailgate and game (he's 8 months). Wife and I won't get to drink as much since we now have more responsibilities but we're sure looking forward to this!!

Yea, I saw that later. Would take the full day off but need to do a quick required inventory first. That will get me on the road at 9:00, have to pick up a friend in Norwalk then head to Ames. Gets us in the lot hopefully around 1pm also.
I work evenings and get off at 2:30am the night before the game. So, I plan to come home and get a few hours of sleep and then get on the road in the morning for the 3.5 hour drive to Ames. Check into our hotel, feed the baby, change a diaper or two then drive to the stadium. Park, walk around, check out the activities until game time! Not to sound boring but my wife and I don't drink and have a 1 year old so our pre-game activities are more subdued and different from the norm!
Absolutely nothing wrong with that! I'm just happy your family is showing up to support the same thing we all know and love! Hopefully, you enjoy your pre-game festivities as much as anybody else. LET'S GO CYCLONES!!
I normally get off work at 4PM but maybe leave a little early and get to JTS by 5PM. My wife and I don't really tailgate and aren't into the heavy drinking part of tailgating - wish we could find a group to meet in lot A3 who have a similar take - our kids are also grown and moved out so we are probably older than many on this board.
Thank you for your comment. My wife and I love ISU and Ames and are proud to support the Cyclones. My daughter is only aware of Cy and seeing him is a huge thrill, like at Fan Fest last weekend, but in time she'll be a fan too!
