I didn't realize appletinis were so expensive?
I do appreciate the longhorns color as the backdrop...
THE Home Depot orange.
Home Depot, but I agree.I do appreciate the longhorns color as the backdrop...
Yes that's right game day has never found a need to show up in Iowa City unless it's to see Herbie's own Ohio State team when they were rated 1 or 2. Keep that in mind when Hawk fans talk about Iowa being the reason they came to Ames.
Also the only guest picker associated with ToE was Dallas Clark and that wasn't in Iowa City.
My man Cory.. he was the year behind me in high school.
So the pit holds 700 people, unless Nate Stanley stops by then just 500.
