What? Weatherwax is hilarious.
AMES, Iowa - At 23-years-old, Mel Weatherwax was an avid college football fan, so avid that watching televised games wasn’t enough. He wanted to see the action live, so he weighed his options. As a full-time employee with United Parcel Service (UPS), multiple trips to Iowa City were too taxing. Instead, he chose the convenience of a short trip to Ames. It was that year, in 1973, that Mel attended his first Iowa State football game with a friend. And after one game, he was hooked.
“When I was 23 I decided it was too difficult to go to Iowa City, so a friend of mine and I decided to go to Iowa State games,” Mel said. “I started going in 1973 and immediately felt like we had much more in common with ISU fans.”
