State Holiday

You may not know, but tomorrow is essentially a state holiday in Iowa. It's so important that if anyone is planning an event in the state in the month of September; the first question out of their event planner's mouth better be "When is the Iowa/Iowa State game?" (if they don't already know, which they should)
That's right. Our state rivalry football game between the University of Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones is a HUGE deal. Iowa doesn't have any pro teams so all of our energy goes into the college games and this one is the granddaddy of them all!

Even though the game encourages a generous amount of smack talk in the days weeks (and months) leading up to the game; there is one thing the rivals can agree on: tailgating. No matter where the game is held or who wins; in the end we all love a good tailgate.

So, in honor of the big day tomorrow and all the fun that the Hawkeyes and Cyclones around the world will be having; I leave you with this.
