There have been Iowa fans that have given me a hard time about not being at games through the years, as if that someone makes me less of a fan, or not qualified to have opinions.
I love being there...yet the logistics with Zabel make the radio broadcast much better in studio. That being said, with several BTN assignments coming this year and hopefully for years to come, I will be at Kinnick regularly.
I still prefer to watch the game on TV from an analytical standpoint...but life is too short to not enjoy that experience.
Heck, I texted my wife a minute after I parked my car and was just walking behind the North endzone stands that I had forgotten how much I loved the atmosphere before a game
She shot the message back and said she knew that would be my reaction. Last year, it killed me to not be at the Michigan game when I saw the overhead blimp shot.
This year, I will be at the PSU game...on the field...at night...I can't wait.
