We are so close now. Just two days away from real football that matters. We are rewarded for our long wait with a couple of really good games on Thursday and then I am sure you will all be tuning in on Saturday to watch the Iowa State vs. UNI game like I will be. One of these years, the Cyclones are gonna sneak up on everyone and win the big 12, maybe this is the year. No, I have not been drinking, but I am drunk on optimism just like every other fan.
