No. 10 Iowa State vs. No. 8 Oklahoma - Warmups

K.J. Kindler is standing 15 feet away from me in Hilton Coliseum....wearing Oklahoma warmup clothes. Needless to say, it's a little strange to see.

I've been here for 20 minutes and from what I've seen, there hasn't been any interaction whatsoever between Kindler and her former Cyclone gymnasts. As a reporter who covered ISU gymnastics last year, it's unusual to see Kindler and Lou Ball standing just feet away from their former athletes and not so much as trade a few words back and forth. Both squads appear totally focused on gymnastics tonight.

Admission is free tonight for all ISU students, faculty and staff, but snowy weather throughout central Iowa seems to be preventing the turnout I was expecting tonight. It's still about a 30-40 minutes before the first rotation, however, so maybe the crowd will pick up. SpongeBob SquarePants is in attendence, however, as someone in a SpongeBob mascot uniform is walking around. No, I don't know why.
