Gotta Love Football

If anyone of you are Iowa State fans...or you know an Iowa State fan, then you must have heard about the huge up-set this past weekend...Iowa State beat Oklahoma State in overtime.  And Oklahoma State was ranked number 2. I still can't believe it. It was an amazing football game. Definitely the best I have ever been to. And one of the best I have ever watched. Seriously, so so good!!! Here are a bunch of pictures from the game. I think you can tell how excited everyone was :-)


I will note: before the game, we all had a moment of silence for the 4 people from Oklahoma State that died earlier that day in a plane crash.  What a shocking moment.  I was so proud of how ISU fans responded to it all and how they treated OSU fans. I hope the OSU fans know that we are truly sorry about this tragedy and we are here to support them.  


Now onto the pictures:

The marching band before the game spelling "ISU"

The marching band spelling "Cyclones". They are so talented :-)

The student section waving their yellow towels that everyone got.

Paul Rhoads congratulating all of the Seniors...it was neat to see him hug every single one of them.  You can definitely tell he cares.

The team getting ready to run out onto the field!

Before each game, the team gets in a huddle and prays. I love it that they do this.

Trey and I all ready to watch an awesome game. Little did we know how awesome it was going to be!

At half time, the marching band honored their seniors. And all of the seniors left their shoes on the field.

ISU's defense...which did an awesome job!

Trey's dad and my dad cheering hard for the game! They were super excited :-)

My sister and I all bundled up...we drank hot chocolate to keep us warm.

Down 14 - 24 in the 3rd quarter. But we still cheered hard!

OMG!!! We are almost tied!!!

WE'RE TIED!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Overtime...what's going to happen???

Haha! We're up!

...and it's tied again...

Wait for iiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt...............

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Final score: 37 - 31 in overtime

Most of the stands storm the field. Such an awesome site.

Our very excited and ISU proud group. What an amazing game to go to.

We had such a blast!  And now ISU is Bowl eligible!!! So maybe a road trip?!? Or as our dads liked to say..."Rhoads Trip!"...they are cheesy, but we still love them :-)  It's still hard to believe that we won...so good.  Ah, alright, have a terrific Tuesday!
