Going to be a tough one. Hopefully the Clones play well.

I have 2 tickets for the game tonight if anyone wants them?

I still think this game is crying out for a trophy. I think a D John Deere painted half and half in school colors would be perfect.

Thanks Rulzzz! GO CYCLONES!!

 

[DrClone]

Nope … on DirecTV Fox is 17 (over the air channel) and FS1 is 219.

Damn. I get FS1 But not Fox.

Damn. I get FS1 But not Fox.

Get an antenna quick!

Honestly surprised at the lack of game weather discussion leading into tonight. A quick glance at latest HRRR computer model shows roughly 2-3" of snow before kickoff and roughly another 1-2" during game itself (NWS forecast has even more). Not a ton of snow, and fortunately winds light and not super cold, but no way weather shouldn't be a fairly big factor tonight.

If memory serves me correctly (please fact check me on this), shouldn't this be the snowiest ISU game since that 35-27 W at Colorado in 2000 (great game by Sage)? I know more recently Drake 2018 was a mess, but wasn't that mainly a cold rain with just a little sleety snow mixed in?

Hoping for a clean game -- no pick 6's for example -- and hard play from the team. Just give themselves a chance today.

Exactly. No gimmies (and create some of our own).

Who else is in Manhattan this weekend? They are calling for 4-7 inches of snow today.

Couple thoughts with the weather

1) it could keep some of the crowd away
2) poor weather/field conditions will negate speed. This may be favorable for isu
3) poor weather/field conditions will favor teams who run the ball effectively. That favors KSU
4) turnovers will be critical

Ouch.

Not exactly hard to come to that conclusion.

Been awhile since I have went to a bar to watch a game. Any bars in Des Moines play the TV audio?

With MBB and WBB both losing badly to mediocre teams yesterday, I'd say we are due for a win today.

We are do for a National Championship in FB and BB, 2-3 times over, with as many losses we Cyclones have endured over the years .

 

[Rabbuk]

Is Fox and FS1 one and the same?

I think fox is usually a single digit local affiliate channel depending upon where you live. In eastern iowa it was 8. Fs1 was 41.

I'm sure this K-State dude was meaning well and everything, but man, right in the kisser! Haha. Luckily he was going very slow.

I was just wondering the same thing about a place to watch the game in Ames.

You are not kidding! Should be a fun game to play in. Maybe. Ha!

Fun if we win. Not fun if we don't.
