never too early for football...

last week we attended the iowa state university pep rally at our zoo.  it was such fun!  the girls loved it.  as they do each year!  and each year, isu adds something (or more than just one thing...) new.  this year it was a "photo booth".  the girls could choose their attire or accessory to have in their photo and then they also got to choose the photo they wanted to be "super-imposed" into.  wren went first.  and although we had discussed the options ahead of time, when it came her turn...she did NOT choose the pom-poms and cheerleader one!  i was a bit shocked.  what did she choose instead?  the full shoulder pads and jersey!  she looked absolutely adorable...err, i mean she looked rough and tough and mean and ready to play some football! 

so without further adieu...

here is wren running onto jack trice field with coach rhodes and the other cyclones!

and then it was linnea's turn.  she stayed true to her initial choice: 

pom-poms with the cheerleaders!

and so.....

linnea with her poms posing in front of cy and the rest of the cheer squad!

it's all in who you are

there are a mere 10 days until football season begins for HUSKER fans!
there are a mere 8 days until football season begins for ISU fans!

******************

i am a husker by birth. i cheer for the huskers EVERY SINGLE STINKIN' GAME TO RIP THE OPPONENT APART AND GET A WIN!!!

i am a cyclone by marriage. i attend every home game and cheer for the 'clones EVERY SINGLE STINKIN' GAME TO RIP THE OPPONENT APART AND GET A WIN!!! except when they play my huskers. then i do not care one rip about the 'clones. just tryin' to be honest here folks. i wear something husker to every single 'clone game. husker socks. husker visor. husker shirt. husker windbreaker. you get the idea. but i also wear some 'clone, too. socks. visor. shirt. earrings. you get the idea.
and yes, despite this being MY 7TH YEAR IN THE SAME 45 YARD LINE, AISLE SEATS MID-WAY UP THE 2ND TIER OF JACK TRICE STADIUM...there will be someone who will make some comment about "who let her in?", or something about my husker-butt being in the wrong stadium. and for the 7TH YEAR i will say something in return that is only about 1/10th as sarcastic or smart-assy as i really want. just to keep the peace. because, in case you are not familiar with ISU football...the season can get pretty l - o - n - g at jack trice stadium. . .

are
YOU
