2019 tailgate tour

[NWICY]

Today was Audubon, council Bluffs
14th Sioux city, Okoboji
15th Ft Dodge, Clear Lake
20th Knoxville, Bettendorf
21st Dubuque, Cedar Rapids
22nd Marshalltown, Waterloo

Did anyone get to go today? Looks like Audubon had a good turn out.

If you haven't had the chance to attend they are a lot of fun and a good chance to meet the coach of your choice. They all give a little stump speech and you get a chance to win door prizes or buy ISU swag. These events are really family friendly.

Attended in Council Bluffs tonight. Average turnout. Coach Campbell had a long line. Program began around 6:30 and lasted about an hour. Kids get a basketball jersey.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

As a football season ticket holder it would be nice to see them in southeast Iowa. Generally they hit Ottumwa, but not this year.

I do not go to these events, I am working, but its nice to get the PR on KTVO out of Kirksville/Ottumwa that the coaches were in the area for the day.

ISU has to remember that this part of Iowa is still Squawk territory, but do not give up on us, I see more ISU shirts and gear every day down here.

Go Cyclones

I see your point Knoxville isn't that far SE of D.M. most yrs they do a pretty good job to make it so most people don't have to drive more than an hour to go to it. I've always enjoyed them when I've been able to attend it.

Here's a link to photos. Looked like it was a very fun time for fans and coaches.

Love that one of the jerseys the kids get to wear for doing drills is black!

 

[acoustimac]

I agree with another poster and saying I wish they would get to South Central Iowa. They used to go to OC Ola and haven’t done this in years. No place close to attend. Nearly every site is at or north of the mason dixon line (I80).

We always go to the one in CR. I messed up big last year and was trying to keep a kid from running around and missed them calling our number for a Campbell signed football.

The CR tailgate tour night always is an amazing turnout. People underestimate how many ISU fans are in Eastern Iowa.

 

[JM4CY]

I don't think there's any way to keep everyone happy with the route and still hit the major metros which has to be done.

Also it would be amazing to stick one of these right in the middle of the coralville mall or something like that but then again I've been told I'm a bit of a d*ck.

You know well TOE would never let that happen. I was just there yesterday and every other flag in the mall is the chickenhawk logo.

Isn't it often something like this:

Sioux City
Council Bluffs
Ft. Dodge
CR
Dubuque
Then maybe an Ottumwa or Ft. Madison or Burlington thrown in.

It is always a nice reminder how many of us are around. Probably a nice reminder for the staff and coaches as well.

I heard once that both Rockwell and Quaker employ more ISU grads than Iowa grads. Shoot I’m pretty sure there’s almost as many K State grads at Quaker as their are Iowa grads.

now the t shirt fans... that’s a different story....

 

[ca4cy]

I've been to a couple of the noon stops but never an evening one. Might hit Clear Lake tomorrow night. Do they have vendors or other food at them? Just need to figure out when we'll feed and water the kids.

 

[GT25Ump]

Heading to the Sioux City Tailgate one, here in a few minutes. Still remember the special moment when they came in 2014, my # was drawn & I won a t-shirt and CFH brought it to me, patted me on the shoulder and told me, "Good Job". LOL

I think I am legally obligated to ask you to change this to Collins.
