I need more. Attending Iowa State from 2011-2015 and having student tickets was an amazing ride. Those four years full of countless stories and memories will be with me for the rest of my life.
I was nearly inconsolable when Freddy left. I have a framed Hoiberg drawing that I purchased at the campus book store. I received a Hilton Magic flag at a women’s game in 2013 that I brought to every single home game. This flag still hangs right above my computer monitors at work, booze stained and all.
I think one of my favorite memories was attending College Game Day. I had to work right after the Game Day show, hungover and bored I got the genius idea to create 3 foam posters of Julian, Ricky, and Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys. The posters ended up on ESPN that night. I think that was the best 60 dollars I ever spent. The camp out preceding this game in order to lock down a ticket is also a great memory. My buddy and I ended up scoring a Sips VIP card that granted us a few hours of free drinks that night. We ended up back at the tent and he finished off a gallon of apple pie and banged around the cinnamon stick inside the jug like he was going to war.
I may live in Des Moines now, but for three years I lived directly West of Hilton on Beach. The place will always be a second home. Keep the episodes coming!!!!
