Cyclones kick off the season!

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.
