We've seen Iowa State fans all over the city as we've been touring around. When I say they were everywhere I mean it. The red and gold cyclones/cardinals (I didn't get that either...) were everywhere. We even saw them at gas stations along the way down here from Missouri. We were hard pressed to find any fellow blue Tulsa hurricanes.
Our cousins told us Tulsa had a good team this year- they'd only lost one game. But that one game happened to be to Iowa State. I didn't know what to think.
When we got to the game the whole Iowa side was full and there was maybe a quarter of the Tulsa side full. Then it started to rain. And it was cold. And Tulsa was down in the first quarter. I really didn't know what to think.
And then they started pulling ahead. By halftime Tulsa was ahead and they managed to keep it up. We left a little early because of the cold rain, but we finished the game in the hotel.
It makes me smile a bit because the Iowa State fans we talked to and heard from made fun of Tulsa for its low fan base. Looks like the football team of a school of 4000 can be just as good and better than a school of 30,000!
Now we're just hanging out till the ball drops signaling the beginning of 2013. 2012 was another eventful year. It seems like every year that passes becomes crazier and faster passing. It'll be interesting to see what this upcoming year has in store for us!
Happy New Year!
