This weekend I got to channel my younger years. Lucas and I stopped by his cousin's football game in Marengo, Iowa. The Iowa Valley Tigers were down 2-6 when we arrived in the second quarter. It was a deficit they would not come back from. Seeing small town high school football is a far cry from my beloved Mizzou Tigers and Chicago Bears. Regardless, it was still fun to be in the atmosphere and to support family, of course. While I wasn't surprised by the caliber of play, I was surprised to see the Tigers had a pretty respectable "stadium" for being so small. But then again, for many communities, football is life. I'm glad I got to be a little part of that Friday night.
