Just back from KC. Great time! Though, as a Cyclone fan I must acknowledge that self-fulfiling prophecy came through once again. The Clones lost in devastating fashion. As they've done so many times.
Anyways, after the angst I portrayed after the Iowa game, I'm not going to dwell on that part of the weekend. I'm going to relate the "good stuff." Bobbie (the bday girl, turned 50 on Saturday) and Jeff picked us up on a chilly windy Friday around 11 a.m. We headed to the Elms Club for lunch, where I had a burger and my first beer of the day. Then we rendezvous with the rest of the "gang" for the trip. We rode with B&J and the other 8 funsters were in Higgins' suburban. Al and Sharon, D&D McKim, Dwight and Marilyn Conover and Suzie and Todd Stofferahn.
It wasn't a bad drive to KC. One potty stop on the way, and pulled into our over-priced Comfort Inn around 3. All the motels were in price gouging mode for game and big NASCAR race in town. We quickly re-grouped and headed to KC's ISU Cyclone outpost, Kelly's Tavern - serving 36 ounce schooners of beer. I must admit, I did share some of mine with Pablo as he made a restroom visit - that's a lot of suds! We also had a bite of pizza and shared our weekend excitement with an overflow crowd of other Cyclone fans. Loud and fun! Photos above from there.
Did I mention that once we reached Comfort Inn some of us rode in uncomfortable positions? Yes, we packed 12 people (none younger than 46) in a Suburban. Three in the far back on the floor - with no air! People watched in amazement as we unloaded. Poor Al Baby got stuck being permanent driver of this rolling group of smart asses on wheels. Oh boy did we get smart after our stop at Kellys, when we headed to Olathe to get tickets from Ryan McKim.
More on the next blog - with more pics!

No we took 2 cars to KC - the Burb seats 8. We only rode around town that way.
