Harvest Moon


Harvest Moon proved to be a great weekend for the scorned ladies. It started out with a 15 passenger van, and stripped out Iowa State Cop car that took the 8-ish hour trip to Fayetteville Arkansas. After getting to the cheapest/ smokiest hotel in all of Arkansas scorned settled in for the night.

Saturday:
 
Scorned dressed up like Monty Python so there were plenty of swords, and fake accents, Kate had a wonderfully created dragon knife. Becca, and Magon had some beautiful mustaches. Bottjen did a great job of giving out our spirit award with a wonderful performance of coconuts/walnuts, a scroll, the holy grail, and some spirit buttons.  Scorned went 4-0 on the day playing Drury, Hendrix, Southern Illinois, and WUWU.  Annhika had a sick face D, which resulted in a black eye and some face cuts.  

After games scorned headed back to the hotel for some showers and naps. After they headed to the “Sweet Tea Party” which unfortunately had no sweet tea.  While going down a hill the 15 passenger van started shaking, and although the cause still remains unknown, there is a rumor we ran over a raccoon. After dinner scorned headed back to the hotel where one room got into a big discussion about Alyssa’s English 250 paper. After some homework and getting ready scorned headed to the party dressed up as Miss USA.

Sunday:

Waking up Sunday Morning proved significantly easier than normal because of the extra hour from daylight savings time.  After taking the 15 passenger van through the drive- through at McDonalds, Scorned struggled a bit to find the fields. And after a slow start to playing, Scorned ended up having a very successful day going 4-0 again to win the tournament, and wooden disc.  Most memorable was the semi-finals game vs. Texas A&M which was an awesome fast-paced game. The final point was scorned with an AMAZING layout by Magon on a huck from Becca. The finals was also a good game played against Missouri State.  They were running a zone, and Scorned was really able to practice and work out the kinks in our Zone O!

After games scorned went to a Chinese buffet for some much needed food.  There also was a Texas team that was at the buffet who loved our cop car. Who knew a stripped out cop car would be such a good icebreaker?
 
Big thanks to the Nebraska ladies for staying and cheering us on for our last 2 days! You had awesome costumes! ANND one of the highlights of the weekend was using our police light on you on the way home! Sorry you could only drive 65 mph.  

Thanks to Iowa State for giving us a 1997 cop car, instead of a brand new ford fusion. ..

Thanks to Pesch, Bottjen, and Cassie, for being authorized and driving the 15 passenger vans.




And a big thanks to JAZZ! who joined us for an awesome weekend!
