The bus to Sioux City for Saturday night's Game Four.
(Riders up 2-1 in the best-of-five series.)
A pre-game tailgate with RoughRider fans who
made the trip to the Tyson Chicken Events Center. (Yes,
that's its real name.)
Bruce can't park.
Actually, it's a pretty nice arena. (Thank you, Vision Iowa!)
Your RoughRiders are ON THE ICE!
Scoreless after one.
(True story: it's just like that episode of Seinfeld where Steinbrenner trades George Costanza to Tyson Chicken.)
(All the concessions really were chicken or turkey-based. Chicken sandwiches, turkey hot dogs, etc.)
Down 0-1.
WE SCORE!!!
Getting ready for OVERTIME!
Okay, so we lost in OT...
...and I left my camera there, and had to run off the bus to go find it.
And the Sioux City team owner wound up finding it and giving it back to me when he thought the Bradman pic was me. The good news is...
ON TO GAME FIVE!
(Monday night in Cedar Rapids.)
I really wish I had more exciting action shots, but I was working way up in the loft. Plus, it was a blowout anyway.
Shannon Appleby and Jaymz Larson chat with Lisa (my former co-worker).
RoughRiders win, 4-1!
...and your NEEEEEEEEEEW Clark Cup champions...
...your Cedar Rapids RoughRiders!
The Clark Cup presentation ceremony.
Let the celebration begin!
Nice signs.
Me, with the traditional walk across the ice, after the game.
