Ames, Iowa

Sure, it's been drizzling off and on but I'd be lying if I said I didn't like the weather here in Ames, Iowa. It's 53 degrees.

An hour and a half before the game, the student section at Jack Trice Stadium opened up, and fans came racing down the stairs, gunning for the primo spots. Once they got there, they'd lay down and save as many seats as they could for friends.
It looked pretty cool until I realized that the first rush of like 100 people was the only rush. So everyone got nice seats. It was a pretty silly exercise.

We're staying at the Holiday Inn in downtown Des Moines, and by Daily Texan standards, it's a Five Star resort. We even have our own beds.

I was going to say that today's depth chart makes the departure of Limas Sweed official, but it says he's starting at split end. He's not.
Quan Cosby will be there. Nate Jones will be opposite him, and Jordan Shipley will be in the slot.

Security at Jack Trice Stadium is refreshingly lax. I think a bit of ingenuity would get you into the game just as easily as a ticket — if you were the kind of guy that didn't like paying to see sporting events.

Jamaal Charles' problems holding on to the ball this season have been well documented. During the season, the Longhorns as a team have fumbled six times. The Cyclones have coughed up the ball 14 times and lost it nine.

It's just under an hour till game time. I'll try to update sporadically today.
