I'll allow it. I was at that CU game, assumed we'd win easily, and was getting frustrated at Nunes's inability to get the offense moving against a pretty lackluster defense. And then Kevin Hogan came in and I thought, "hey, maybe we have something here." Did we ever.Â
The 2016 Rose Bowl is a special one, though all the personal delight I was experiencing was tempered a bit because I was in the stands next to my wife (an Iowa grad). For one, I love my wife and it felt weird to exult while she was becoming more and more miserable. More than that, though, as the game went on, I was told in no uncertain terms that the greater the beatdown, the larger and more expensive the jewelry I would need to buy to make up for it.Â
