Floyd home where he belongs


HI everyone

Just thought I'd add our pictures to the Neary blog. We went to the Iowa-Minnesota game last weekend. The first half was good, the second half was like the first half normally is...crummy! At least we won. We also went to the basketball game the night before....that was fun too, until a really big guy (as in extremely chubby, putting it nicely) sat in the chair next to me, and half of him came over on me, including through that little cubby hole spot in the side of the chair. It wasn't pretty....it's not like he couldn't have moved down...there were empty seats...even his own kid wouldn't sit right next to him. How do I attract these people? AGH! At least at the football game, I didn't have to deck any Minnesota football fans for telling me to sit down...that's what almost happened at the Metrodome...they're not used to standing when they get touchdowns, like us great Hawk fans! (Sorry Dave...just stating the facts. :) )

Anyway...you can't see Floyd (of Rosedale) in the picture very well, but he's there, believe me. The real Floyd was a pig that lived right by Fort Dodge, in fact, the farm was one of our bus stops...so I have a personal connection to that pig. :)

Go Hawks! See ya next week at the farm.

They stormed the field? Were they surprised to win this game against the winless (in the Big Ten) Gophers? Did the fans think they were giving away real pigs?
