Things seemed to be going good. September 25, 2008

Well, after Iowa State won their first two games I was excited to watch the Iowa vs. Iowa State game on T.V. (I didn’t go to Iowa City this year for the game. Got stuck doing homework.) Sadly, it wasn’t to be this year as the Hawkeyes beat us 17-5. It all came down to the Iowa State offense who had the ball within scoring range several times in the game but could not convert.
Aside from that, the Bears beat the Colts in their season opener in what was deemed an upset (If only this game was the 2006 Super Bowl right? That would’ve been awesome.) But after this, the Bears had very close losses to the Carolina Panthers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Each loss the Bears were within a field goal of the other team but could not manage to pick up the points.
This week, Chicago will be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles and Iowa State as a bye week but next weekend will be playing in conference for the first time against the Kansas Jayhawks. Hopefully both teams will turn it around.
Cyclones kick off the season! September 7, 2008

The Cyclones opened their 2008 season with wins over South Dakota State and Kent State. In their opener, Iowa State defeated the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State with a comfortable 44-17 win. The Cyclones picked off 5 passes including one by defensive end Kurtis Taylor whom this blogger had the opportunity of playing H.O.R.S.E. with last summer (Kurtis should think about playing for the basketball team as well). Iowa State then beat Ket State yesterday with a 48-28 win making up for the upset last season where Kent State beat the Cyclones in the Cyclones opener. Painted head to toe with red and gold, I watched the game from home and watched the fireworks show that ensued after the victory. Iowa State showed us yesterday that their two quarterback offense of Austen Arnaud and Phillip Bates can work.
No updates as of yet for the Bears opener, where the Chicago Bears will take on Super Bowl XLI champions Indianapolis Colts tonight at Indiana. Again, I will be watching the game from home because it is too far of a drive for me and I have class tomorrow. I won’t be painted head to toe with blue and orange but I will be wearing my Brian Urlacher jersey. I learned yesterday that paint can be messy.
