Got beans done last night in SE Iowa, but harvest has been slow with the rain.
I'm not a farmer, but if we get rain on Friday, would it then be too wet on Saturday to get out in the fields?

People are obviously free to do what they want. They pay their money, they donate even more money, so yeah they can do what they want. But then don't complain when the team comes out really flat in the 2nd half because you need 2 more beers.
Players themselves have commented about this, so it is a problem. They don't like coming out of the locker room to a half full stadium that is quiet.
Just because they've "commented on it" doesnt mean they accurately know where the people are. It has almost nothing to do with the small number of people who go out and don't make it back in, and almost all to do with the people still on the concourses.
There are currently around 10,000 unsold seats...I really don't understand why. When we were awful for the last 6 years the place was always packed, especially for homecoming, now nearly the entire west upper deck outside the 40's is empty? This is possibly the biggest home game we've had in many years, there's no excuse for it not to be packed.
Studies have shown weather is not a factor in football games. Warm or cold.
I think the cold can be a factor in our favor. And a big factor. Just look at the UT game two years ago when they were slow and listless, and the Texas Tech game last year.
Right. Just because the weather advantage/disadvantaged is normally distributed doesn’t mean in a singular game it impacts each team the same. For instance, if one QB is fine but the other is bothered, then it’s an advantage. I don’t if we’ll have the advantage, but it’s unlikely to have no impact.Link? Do you mean temperature is not a factor? More specific, do you mean temperature does not provide an advantage to either team?
The statement "weather is not a factor" is absolutely false. Of course weather is a factor and teams have to game plan for it. Perhaps you could say it doesn't provide an advantage for either team but even that would depend on the match up.
Weather forecast change:
48 deg. (up from 43), mostly sunny (mostly cloudy yesterday), zero precip (same), wind 16 mph (up 3 mph).
Seems like the last two years of the Rhoads' regime were the biggest crowds in iSu history. Why aren't we showing up en masse for CMC? (Maybe we have, except for Thursday night [UT] and rain [KU] . . . were UNI and eiu sellouts?)
I'm guilty of this. The last game I went back in the second half for was Oklahoma State in 2011We also have to change the mindset of leaving at halftime to go tailgating some more. This is the dumbest thing in Power 5 sports. We could have a crazy sold-out crowd, be winning against a ranked opponent at halftime, and the crowd will still only be half full at the beginning of the second half which sucks all of the momentum out of the game.
I don't know how much normally gets sold in a week but I would imagine with 10K still left unsold we will be at least a few thousand short.
Nope...it's homecoming and a gigantic game...people will come to the game. Just bring some additional warm clothes...it isn't the Kansas game of 4 years ago.
Sorry but the harvest season crap doesn't fly with me. Our stadium holds 61,500. Iowa State student population is about 36K of which about 5K are ag students. The Des Moines population is 650K 45 minutes away.
Even if every farmer and ag industry worker in the state can't get away from the field for a game that is a far cry from explaining why Jack Trice can't be sold out for a ranked matchup on homecoming with the conference lead up for grabs.
If every Student came to the game we'd only need 25K alums to show up to fill it. That's ignoring a few thousand for the opponent.
The Jack should, and i think will be sold out.
