On New Year's Eve, the Cyclones of Iowa State and the Gophers of Minnesota played each other at the Insight Bowl in Phoenix. Being former Cyclone season ticket holders - and living in Minnesota - we anticipated a spirited viewing engagement with several friends! Of course, Mommy was a bit conflicted since she graduated from both schools... but you can guess where her loyalties ended up!
Brooke & Daddy - ready to cheer!!
Mommy & Brooke - who did Mommy cheer for??
My, Brooke & Alyssa (My was one of the few Gopher fans!)
The big girls had more fun playing princess with Gretchen and Olivia - even though they had Cyclone gear on earlier in the day.
(Gretchen and her big sister, Sydney, are Cyclone fans... Olivia is a Gopher fan who was converted to saying "Go Cyclones" by the end of the night... does peer pressure start at 3??)
For those who don't know the results, the Cyclones did pull off a victory!
Brooke helped Mommy, Alyssa & My watch the ball drop at 11 PM in New York - she got all the New Year's kisses -- and everyone was in bed by midnight!
