iowa for the weekend


I went to my first Campbell University football game this weekend...in Iowa.  My friend Kelli and I met up with other friends from Campbell (Scott, Hayley, Shaun, Melissa, Jacob, Joel and Rebecca) in Iowa.  We started off our Saturday at the Iowa State/Nebraska football game.  At some point, in the 3rd quarter, to drive to Des Moines to catch the last half of the Drake/Campbell football game.  

When we left Ames, Iowa the score was Drake: 3; Campbell: 0.  When we got to the Drake Stadium, Drake had scored a few more times.   We did, however, manage to find a gate keeper who let into the stadium for free.  He told us Campell needed our support.   We cheered...or at least tried to.  Scott and Shaun made up a new fight song.  It's short, it's simple, it's rousing.  (O Campbell, we love thee.  Fight, fight, fight to Victory.)

The final score was something like 45-0.  We're hoping that this was the last big defeat.  I think the boys need some encouragement.  We're hoping for some turnaround, so that we can return to victory at Homecoming.
