Dad: We had to come all the way out to Syracuse to watch Iowa suck?!
Me: Count your blessings. This is the second time this season I've had to be in Syracuse and watched them suck.
Or something like that. They're passing through town en route to Vermont for some cycling, and it was coincidence both that Iowa was playing (losing) on national tv last night and that it's Parents' Weekend here at SU.

your parents came to see you on parents weekend here? that's so totally cool....
Well, it was coincidence more than anything else. They'd been planning the bike trip for a while now--and I only learned in the past few days that it was PW.
