Iowa Comes to Arizona

We miss Iowa football. A lot. So when the Hawkeyes made a trek out west to play in Tucson, Arizona, of COURSE we had to go! Josh, Luke, and I road-tripped it to the desert. It was great to be back at a Iowa football game and see so many Iowa people! In case you missed the game, here's how it went.

Yep, this is the car thermometer on the way to Tucson. That's for real, and it should have been a sign that this was going to be a bad day. (Seriously, we're coming from San Diego. Overbearing heat? Yeah, that doesn't exist to us.)
In case you can't tell by our faces, I will walk you through the game, score by score.

This is when Arizona scores a touchdown after blocking our punt.


This is when Arizona scores a touchdown after an interception.


Iowa scores a touchdown, and we feel a bit of hope.


Arizona returns the kick off for a touchdown. More disappointment and dejection set in.


Arizona kicks a field goal. It just keeps getting worse.


Arizona kicks another field goal. And that completes a just spectacular half, down 7-27. As you can see, by this point we almost stop caring.


The marching band was pretty good. They lifted my spirits a bit.


DJK scores a touchdown.


McNutt scores a touchdown. We're coming back! 21-27. This might be about when Josh got in a minor verbal fight with some ridiculous Arizona fans.


We intercept the ball and return it for a touchdown! We go up by 1!! Wait, we miss the extra point and it's tied. That was horrible.


Arizona scores a touchdown to go up 34-27. Stanzi gets sacked like 52 times, and we go down in flames.

So...that was our trip. It was a very depressing game, but we walked out of that stadium with our heads held high and said to Arizonans, "We may have lost, but you live HERE." And we drove back to San Diego.
