I struggled with the decision to buy tickets this late in the season because I didn’t trust that Iowa would be having a good season at this point. Pulled the trigger on 5 tix to the Purdue game, brought my whole family plus my son’s girlfriend and traveled from KC. Stayed at my parentt’s house. Spent well over $500 for tix, tailgating necessities, parking, memorabilia, gyros, pork on sticks, stadium food and drink, boarding 2 dogs back in KC. As the game stunk on, I told my wife to help me remember next year how I felt at that moment so I don’t make the same mistake. I guess I enjoyed it all but the game, but I would much rather have saved the cash in retrospect.
