H is for...Holy Cow!

Saturday found us in Iowa City once again, to help cheer on the Hawks!  After our loss to the Cyclones we were all hoping for a W to get our beloved Hawkeyes back on track! 

We loaded up the family cruiser and met up with Jason, Jen and the girls for some tailgating pre-game!  We weren't planning on taking Lila again, but when Jason and Jen said they were taking the girls we thought, "what the heck!"


Watching a few pre-game shows on the iPod!

As most of you know, the first three quarters of the game were BRUTAL.  HORRIBLE.  Even Lila was embarrassed for the team...

During the fourth quarter we were all hoping for a miracle, a huge miracle considering the Pittsburgh Panthers were up 27-10.  Lila was so exhausted by what seemed to be defeat that she fell asleep right as things were starting to turn around.


The Hawks came out of nowhere with an amazing rally!  It was unbelievable and the crowd went CRAZY!  I was holding Lila the whole time she was sleeping as I was jumping up and down screaming along with the 70,000 other fans and it didn't phase her.  She didn't even flinch when the Hawks took their final knee beating the Panthers 31-27 in the end!  What a surprise!


Sound asleep post-game

After the amazing finish we headed back out to the car to snack and discuss what it was that we just witnessed!  None of us could really believe it, but we all agreed we would sleep a little better tonight knowing the Hawks pulled it off!

Happy Hawk Fans!
