exactly. Why they didn't plan here is a little crazy. Should have been here last night and everyone and their dog could figure that out just by looking at the forecast. Now, even if they do make it, there will be dangerous roads to navigate today

Parts of Oklahoma also got snow and places have had to cancel events.

*Checks radar, go make first pass at driveway or wait till later when it's done?

I think I'm going to wait at this point. I have a 2 stage snowblower though so that helps a bit.

The Vikings and Giants played in Detroit the very next day after the Metronome collapsed in 2010. That's a traveling party of over 100 instead of about 20 and they were able to make it work without any issues.

What were traveling conditions like? Are there more hotels available in Detroit than Ames?

How many games did each team have that week?

According to NOAA maps there is no snow currently on the ground in the entire state of Oklahoma.

Let's also consider private jets over chartered planes. Oh, and NFL budget vs NCAA.

So now we'll have to play like 3 games in 4 days type of deal in late February. That will probably work wonders for our defensive effort and intensity we need to compete.

I know it’s a hard concept to understand for some, but life is bigger than basketball. Grand scheme of things, who cares if they have to play an extra game some week. It shouldn’t effect your life in the slightest if they do, and if for some reason it does, get help.

I’d rather have everyone safe than have them risk it and something bad happen.

They haven’t even announced it’s canceled yet either, unless I missed something.

Lol, how many hotels do you need to accommodate a basketball team of about 20 people? Football teams usually only take up 1-2 floors at hotels let alone a 12 man basketball team.

 

[theshadow]

They can't just snap their fingers and have a plane appear and hotels booked.

A traveling party of 20 doesn't just change like that.

20? More like 35.

According to google there have been closings due to inclement weather in Oklahoma.

wasn't it like 60 degrees there yesterday? (stillwater). I know it sucks there today, which again is why I am questioning the decision to fly out today. Maybe I am missing something and just being a prick.

Don’t come in here with facts. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Do you not think anyone explored options?

Not sure.

Closings due to inclement weather means they closed things due to inclement weather.

I think.

Lol, yeah, 64 yesterday and 55 on Wednesday.

Unless OK state is traveling via teleportation, I don’t see how that matters.

 

[NoCreativity]

I wouldn't surprise me, they seem to be reactive instead of proactive. We've known about this for a week now, maybe longer.

Oklahoma schools close, move to remote learning Friday due to winter weather

Some Oklahoma school districts have already made adjustments to their Friday schedules because of the winter weather and cold temperatures.

It was 80 in Miami yesterday and flights into Des Moines yesterday from Miami got canceled. It’s almost like it doesn’t matter where the flight originates from or something.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Planes are still taking off and landing in Des Moines this morning. I would bet the game will go on as scheduled tomorrow.

For the WBB, Baylor flew here from Kansas yesterday after their Wednesday night game in Lawrence.
