For the first time in two years we were back in the grass lots at Indiana University tailgating before the start of an IU football game. It was a little different than two years ago as Cal and his friend weren't in attendance, but other than that it all felt the same. We set up the Hoosier tent, got out the Italian Beef out and started throwing the football. Meg and three of her friends soon joined us and shortly afterward Pam arrived. It was nice to have a few additions to our party and we all enjoyed the afternoon. The only downside, at least for Cameron, was that the cellular service went out so he couldn't check the other games going on at the time. He also got his butt kicked at washers by several people. It's definitely a skill that he will have to work on before our next tailgate.
Pam, Doug, Cameron and I made it into the game in plenty of time for the kickoff. The stands were absolutely packed, which surprised us a little as the Hoosiers were playing Idaho and were a 30+ point favorite. It was nice to see the enthusiasm and we enjoyed watching the Marching Hundred pregame show and seeing the IU players run on to the field. Tonight was the complete opposite of last week's game as IU took control early. By the end of the first quarter we were ahead 21-0 and Idaho looked completely overmatched. It wasn't a complete shut out, but midway through the fourth quarter, we decided that IU was on top to stay and headed toward the Pilot. We definitely made the correct choice as the Hoosiers won 56-14 and we made it home in time to order pizza and play Ticket to Ride with Brett before he went to bed. It was definitely a wonderful day in Bloomington.
