The excitement is palpable. The first clue is the traffic. There's more than usual, and more than the usual share of RVs. Cars run up and down my dead end street. People are out in their yards, mowing, weeding, trimming. Tents go up on the main drag, and a police officer directs traffic around vendors' vehicles while they set up. The construction workers put up barriers around the areas where they didn't quite finish landscaping. People laugh and shout and strike up conversations with total strangers. There's one thing everyone can talk about.
It's the day before the season football opener.

There is a reason Iowa City is considered the best college football town.
