Reason #10…
It's a slow football Saturday in Eastern Iowa... 
The Iowa Hawkeyes & University of Northern Iowa Panthers both have a bye weekend and the Iowa State Cyclones will be playing "deep in the heart of Texas" so the best tail-gate in the state will be happening at the Clarion Hotel & Conference Center as we fire up the pre-party festivities at 2:00 p.m. complete with Jell-O shots (in your favorite team colors), the Buffett Buffet and our very own cheerleader-Sandie Smith! Heck...if you want to set up a tail gate before the pre-party in the parking lot I'm sure we can work out the details!
Even if your favorite teams were playing close to home - we'll still have a better party (as judged by the performance of both teams in the big game) than the one on the field (seriously - congratulations to the cardinal & gold). Just remember - Parrot Heads always score once they get into the red zone unlike our favorite football teams!
