It may be the middle the winter and in the thick of basketball season, but football is in the air in Ames.
Tuesday, January 26th, the night after Iowa State took down Kansas in another epic showdown inside Hilton Coliseum, seemed like any other night in January in Ames. Cold, windy, quiet and dark. No students outside in tents, a pretty calm night at the bars, not a lot of life at all.
But if you drove down University Boulevard you would have witnessed a truly beautiful sight - a sight that is pretty rare this time of year.
