IN A FEW MINUTES. WE’LL BE WATCHING THAT FORECAST. THANK YOU, TREY. TODAY IS THE DAY. THIS IS THE FOOTBALL GAME MOST OF THE STATE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR FOR ABOUT A YEAR. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE CY-HAWK SHOWDOWN. IT’S NOW A MATTER OF HOURS BEFORE KICKOFF FOR THAT GAME. ����vlog IS MARCUS MCINTOSH IS ALREADY AT THE PARTY UP IN AMES WHERE ISU CYCLONES HOPE HOME FIELD WILL HAVE AN ADVANTAGE IN MARCAS. HOW’S THE PARTY LOOKING? DID YOU GET YOURSELF SOMETHING TO EAT? NOT YET, NICOLE. BUT THERE IS A LOT GOING ON, A LOT MORE GOING ON THAN WHEN WE LAST TALKED TO YOU ABOUT A HALF HOUR AGO. I’M GOING TO STEP, BY THE WAY, SO YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, THE STUDENT SECTION IS GETTING BIGGER. IF PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO GET IN THE GAME. NOW, SOME HAVE BEEN WAITING OVERNIGHT, BUT THE THING IS, THEY CAN’T GET INTO THE GAME UNTIL TWO HOURS BEFORE GAME TIME. THAT IS WHAT THEY TELL ME. SO IOWA STATE IS HOPING TO TAKE DOWN THE HAWKEYES FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW AND BELIEVE HOME FIELD WILL BE TO THEIR ADVANTAGE WITH THE MASS OF PEOPLE ATTENDING THE GAME TODAY, THE UNIVERSITY IS ADVISING PEOPLE TO BE IN LINE AT THE STADIUM AT LEAST 45 MINUTES EARLY, LIKELY DUE TO THE ISSUES DURING THE U-N-I GAME LAST WEEK WHERE SOME PEOPLE WERE STUCK OUTSIDE. COULD NOT GET IN BECAUSE OF TICKET SCANNING ISSUES UNTIL WELL INTO THE FIRST QUARTER. A REMINDER ALL FANS MUST BE USED. A MOBILE TICKET TO GET INTO JACK TRICE STADIUM TODAY. FANS SHOULD EXPECT PARKING TO BE DIFFICULT AS WELL. CONSIDER ALL PUBLIC PARKING PASSES SOLD OUT. THE UNIVERSITY SAYS MUCH OF THE PARKING ON CAMPUS WILL BE OPEN AND FREE TO THE PUBLIC. CYRIDE BUSSES ALSO AVAILABLE AROUND CAMPUS TO TAKE YOU TO JACK TRICE AND BACK AFTER THE GAME. SO THERE’S A LITTLE BIT MORE GOING ON THAN WHEN WE LAST SPOKE. WE HAVE SIZE LOCKER ROOM SET UP ALSO OUTSIDE THE STADIUM THAT IS GETTING SET UP READY TO GO. THAT WAS EMPTY JUST MOMENTS AGO. WE HAVE PEOPLE PLAYING FRISBEE. WE HAVE PEOPLE STARTING TO TAILGATE. I CAN SMELL THE SMOKE. I CAN SMELL THE FOOD. I CAN’T WAIT TO TRY TO SLIP INTO A TAILGATE AND JUST START EATING SOMEONE’S FOOD. BUT THERE’S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT FOR THE GAME. THAT STARTS AT 230 THIS AFTERNOON. THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WE’VE SEEN ARE CYCLONE FANS, BUT THERE ARE SOME HAWKEYE JERSEYS WALKING AROUND. SO I BELIEVE BOTH TEAMS WILL BE WELL REPRESENTED TONIGHT. TODAY, RATHER, AND THIS AFTERNOON.
