It's Game Day, Boys!!!

[NorthKCHawk]

I know we have had some good-natured debates about the importance of bowl games of late, but man, you gotta be excited for this game. Two seemingly well matched teams. Both teams are nearly at full force. Both teams seem to really want to win this game and are going all in. Looks like the Hawkeye fan base has turned out in Tampa in pretty good numbers if FB can be believed. Early kick so we don't have to wait all day to see the game, and on a psuedo-holiday, so day drinking is sanctioned. A win and we end the season with another Top 25 season in all the polls under KF.

If we win, I will be in a great mood going into the new year and cranking up for '26. If we lose, my wife will need to give me space for a few hours.

All sorts of juice to this game. Let's go get these entitled, prissy, Northwestern of the SEC, DBs. GO HAWKS!!!!!!!

Yah, but I'm stuck doing inventory. And EOY.
I haven't decided whether to try to keep up or just watch when I get home.
I'll have to block my family chat, which will be full of updates and reactions. College football elicits more family chat texts than any other event.

Watching it from work, so day drinking isn't an option, but it's still going to make for a great day of being stuck in the office when I should be home on my couch.

Let’s go Hawks. Getting ready to head to the alumni association watch party. Just waiting for the uber to pick us up.

Nathan McNeil is out for the game. Hopefully there's no indication that he's going to transfer.

I had read earlier in the week that he was injured. And he is in attendance (and on the pre-game injury report). So I don't think this is a portal situation.
