61 going on 19...

Pops and I had the privilege of witnessing the Gophers take down the No. 24 Hawkeyes. The game was a grand experience, especially for our first visit to the new TCF Bank Stadium. As the game ended, there was a "rushing of the field." We joined the festivities.

Not only did we get to rush the field, but we gave players high-fives AND we got to pat Floyd of Rosedale as players hoisted it up!

Best of all, I got to see my Dad turn into a 19-year-old. He had the time of his life and it was great to witness. The picture kind of captures the moment. Look at that grin. I wish I could bottle up the experience and give it to him for Christmas.
