Ames
Well thought about moving nephew and nieces BB game, but everyone's other weekends are booked. So I think we are going to give it a go tomorrow. Ames at noon baby!
Ah, didn’t realize this one was the big deal game! Hope it works and everyone stays safe.

I was an undergrad when they closed in the 90s for the first time in about 50 years. I'm still shocked every time it happens, but good call.
1994 right around this time? In HS, we had finals, and then a five day weekend. (MLK, Teachers' In-Service, Day Where Windchill Would Hit -40) That was a pretty brutal winter when it came to temps in the Midwest.

Should just delay the semester start until the week after, for any students still have yet to return to Ames, no need to come back this weekend to allow all the clean up from the Blizzard.

January 1996, my freshman year. SUPER cold.
I was there for this one. There was a guy around campus we all called shorts guy. Always in a pair of jorts. Even though class was cancelled I went to campus for some reason. I remember walking back all bundled up and out of the cold walking toward me came shorts guy. Same pair of jorts as always
