Greetings.
It's gloomy here, but there's no rain on the radar, at least not right now. The wind was crazy last night, but it's not too bad today.
Pretty good representation of Iowa fans out there, but this is the heart of Husker. This place reminds me of Green Bay. There's a giant stadium with a press box of six floors that rises up out of the middle of nowhere.
-- RBs Mika'il McCall (disciplinary) and Jordan Canzeri (hamstring) didn't make the trip. Canzeri has fought the hamstring for a lot of the Big Ten season. It flared mightily against Michigan State and he hasn't been able to go since. As far as I know, both are home (Illinois and Troy, N.Y.).
-- The Iowa QBs are taking the field. They're all in T-shirts except for James Vandenberg, who's wearing some black stretchy warm thingie.
-- Nebraska's team has every stereotype of "football player in warm-ups" represented. Guy with long hair and a head band? Check. Prematurely balding guy who looks like a dentist? Check. Winter caps? Check. Sideways baseball cap? Check. And the headphones, oh the headphones.
-- Outback is the only bowl here.

I hadn't noticed this before on the Iowa semi-tractor trailer. Very cool.
