It was a little bit freaky to come that close to a tornado. I've lived in Iowa my whole life (for a few more weeks anyway) and I don't think I've ever gotten that close where I've actually seen a funnel cloud.
There was a lot of people in Hilton, a lot of people just went into the arena and grabbed seats. The band kept the crowd entertained while we were waiting for it to blow over.

Part of me is glad I stayed home (my dad had called and wanted to know if I wanted his extra ticket) and part of me wishes I could have gone just to see the win.

It wasnt necessary to bring the real mascot to the game, was it?
My schools mascot was a roadrunner, and we didnt bring a real roadrunner to any of our games. You didnt need to bring a real cyclone to your game.

It was a big game, we needed to bring down the thunder. As much as I love Cy (our regular mascot--who's technically a Cardinal), he's just not quite as intimidating as the real thing.
