I posted some pictures from the Army game in the SmugMug Gallery.
Once again, it was a night game, so the pictures are limited, but a few are posted below.
A few thousand kids formed the player’s entrance tunnel.
4 Black Hawk helicopters performed a fly-over before the game. Not to be confused with the Apaches that did a fly-over before the Kansas State game.
Returning to where they came from.
#82 was 6’10” and played wide receiver. Lucky for us, he has bad hands.
The Army team standing at attention while their pep band played a song that was too quiet for me to make out.
There are about 40 more images in the Iowa State Cyclones Football – 2009 album. To view them, just click on the link below:
Seeing one of our military academies playing in Jack Trice was an amazing experience. In the next 10 years the Navy and Air Force both come to Ames. I hope that the pageantry of those games equals this game.
These are gorgeous as usual, Chris. Can't wait to see your pictures from Arrowhead.
Actually I didn't take my camera into the game on Saturday. When I went down to Arrowhead to watch ISU play Florida State all those years ago they wouldn't let you into the stadium with anything that didn't fit into a tiny little box. Turns out I probably could have brought my camera into the stadium, but I didn't.
This time, they patted you down before entering the stadium. They had separate lines for men and women.
I will post a few pictures from this weekend, but they will mostly be used to illustrate how the scariness level of our hotel.
