Belleville High Banks:
Today is college game day, and when we stopped at a rest area just west of Lincoln, everybody walking past was wearing Nebraska red. Those folks were all on the way to their game, and they were in for a bad day. Texas Tech beat them badly.
Spent most of the afternoon driving through Iowa - hooray - back to Big Ten Country!
We found the Iowa v. Wisconsin game on the radio - the Iowa folks were happy today. Iowa won in Madison this afternoon.
Everybody knows that they grow a lot of corn in Iowa, but really, they grow a LOT of corn in Iowa! Acres and acres and then more acres of corn are standing in the fields waiting to be harvested. It's fun to watch the harvesting machine run through the field. Haven't found any caches in Iowa yet, but we'll have plenty of time for that in the morning. We had lunch at The Happy Chef along I-80, and dinner at Perkins in Coralville.
The U of M team was really mismatched with Delaware State today. Justin probably enjoyed the afternoon immensely! I watched the video on the Mgoblue website - it looked almost like our team was on the field alone. I don't know why they schedule games like that. Many players had a chance to play, though, so that's a good thing.
