January FCS title game?

Re: January FCS title game?

During our decision process before we left, we had decided not to try to call hotels and make reservations, but rather just roll into town and find what we could, in true college student fashion. What we found was a Days Inn room for about $100 that was three blocks from the stadium. What this meant was we were paying less than UNI fans who had made reservations and we were roughly five blocks closer to the stadium. We had lucked out. So there we were with a hotel and game tickets and it was only 10 a.m., the game started later in the evening. So we finally got some sleep.

I would almost bet these were the students we met after driving through the night and arriving at the Days Inn at relatively the same time. We jokingly walked up to the desk and asked if we could check in early that morning and much to our surprise they let us (along with the, i believe, aforementioned group). So here we were expecting to dose off in the car and instead found respite in the comfort that only a luxurious days inn can provide. Excitement overtook us though as we waited about 2 hours before deciding it was officially time to get our tailgate on. I dont mind bragging that we were one of the first cars in the lot and had a great time spreading our Purple and Gold streamers all the way up and down what would soon come to be known as "Panther Alley".

Love the memories... lets make some new ones this year!!

(Note: I've already checked and I BELIEVE that Days Inn is no longer with us. )
