UNI Football.....after Volleyball All Day...Can't Get Enough!

After a full day of volleyball, we headed to the Dome to watch UNI football. It was a big game as UNI is rated number 11 and the team we played is rated 10! Elyse decided after a full day of volleyball to go home instead of the football game, and she really missed a super football game!!!! Alex had gone down with some friends of ours and tailgated before we hooked up with them to go into game. He was ready for some football.

We had seats in the 5th row, about 5 yard line, which appeared to be the place to sit to witness the action. Lots of "excitement" on our end of the field the whole game. UNI had three turnovers that would have been touchdowns, which lost them the game, but it was exciting all the way to the end. There were times when I would have called it a wrestling match as it was pretty brutal. Lots of penalties on both teams for unnecessary roughness and illegal hits. (I can't think of proper penalty terms.....but you know what I mean.) UNI ended up being 3 points short of winning the game (which wouldn't have happened if they didn't have so many turnovers or missed field goal), but it was a fun night for the Kerian family.....even if we were exhausted from being gone all day for volleyball. Proud to be a Panther!!!!

The funny part of the night was our seats were 2 rows behind my cousins and uncle who have season tickets. So it was nice to get to chat with them.

The football tickets also got you into the UNI volleyball match....which I heard was so intense....but we decided to go grab some food and head home since we had been gone since 7 AM. If Elyse would have been with us, we would have gone to UNI volleyball like planned, but Alex had football the next day and Wayne and I couldn't take anymore sitting on bleachers/chairs. I was bummed we didn't go as I heard it was a super match...next time.

Next week UNI plays ISU in football. Elyse's volleyball game was cancelled for the weekend so you know where the Kerian family will be.....Iowa State football field and tailgating. Wonder who will come out winner of the house??? Kim for the purple and gold or Wayne for the cardinal and gold?????? Bets are on!!!!
