I'm sure this was addressed somewhere but I couldn't find it. Did we ever figure out why they went black on Saturday? I was surprised how much darker everything looked in there without them but it makes sense.

Who was it on here that said they hit the ribbon board to make noise? 
I thought win it rebooted to “Cyclones Win” and it was still 3rd quarter that we had just “Dewey Wins” our game.
Paging @Cycsk lolWho was it on here that said they hit the ribbon board to make noise?
I found it funny there was an Alliant Energy ad on right when the ribbon board came back online at Midamerican Energy Field at Jack Trice
Some great suggestions from my section. My favorites, Did you try turning it off and turning it back on? Switch to HDMI 2.

I was expecting the game clock to come back on flashing 12:00
That is exactly what popped in my mind when it happened.
Guy behind me toward the SEZ yelled "Goddamnit Randy! It's not a slot machine!!"
One of the announcers made an Airplane reference.
That was the most impressed I was with them all game long.
The true irony is that Ames is a municipal system. So neither serve, but maybe this was MidAm’s plan all along...
I will never forget how often there were power problems when I was in school. Ames has two power plants ffs!
