This weekend, a whole bunch of us U of Minnesota students got into our cars and headed south. We were going to cheer on the Gophers in enemy territory, Kinnick Stadium at the University of Iowa. Afterwards, we stayed Saturday night in Iowa City and hit the town.

 

If anyone is going to do a college football road trip, Iowa is, in the words of Brent Musburger, "the best-kept secret in college football."

The AGR guys and me. Yours truly is the one on the right. (NOTE: The reason I look so fat is that I'm wearing a LOT of layers, cause it was cold out!)

Stegs with the pumpkin. Basically, you fill the pumpkin with beer, then passit around, with everyone taking a long drink out of it.

One of many tailgating areas in Iowa City. That's a Kum 'n Go in the background. And yes, that is the correct spelling.

Yeah, I was also disappointed after only reading the top line of the TR...stupid no actual Gophers!

 

Oh well, glad you had a good time!

Awesome photo TR. I'm really liking these college football TRs. I don't travel to other games seeing how I go to IU. I completely forgot about Kum N Go. I saw one of those on my way to Texas this summer and you can probably imagine the words that came out of my mouth. Can't help but wonder how much crack the founder was sniffing when that name was thought of.
