Farmegedden II

Linda and I spent the day yesterday at Arrowhead Stadium (home of the Kansas City Chiefs) watching KSU host Iowa State University.  The two teams met there last year – Farmegedden I.  The stadium is segregated so the fans sit behind their team.

KSU barely won last year – winning by blocking an extra point kick with just a few seconds left in the game.

The outcome of this game looked to be similar – several lead changes and nail-biting moments.  However, a 27-20 win for the Wildcats is a welcome score.  K-State is now 3-0.

More importantly, we spent the day with very, very good friends – Dave and Kaela Culkin.  We’ve known Dave and Kaela from our early days of marriage in Manhattan.  They now live in Leavenworth, too close to not spend more time with them.

Tailgating before the game was a blast.  Coffee cake, fresh fruit, bagels, and Irish Coffee made for some excellent pre-game festivities.  The game was awesome (although hot and muggy).  The free fans given out to the attendees came in very handy.

Post-game tailgating with cold malted beverages helped beat the heat also.

Up next week – KSU hosting University of Central Florida.  Here’s hoping the Cats go to 4-0.
