I think with purdy being more mobile today the line will look better

I’m still a little disappointed with Church’s pick. I like the guy and his music (went to a concert of his at the Iowa Speedway 11ish years ago when he was still a little under the radar and not as pop country). But I mean you are the guest picker at Iowa State, you gotta pick the host school. Sometimes the moment means more than being right (I am copyrighting this as a country song btw ;)). Read the room even a little instead of trying to improve your GameDay pick record. When it happens that they are trying to be right instead of catering to the crowd, you know you’ve had the same person on a little too often.

My prediction is that if what is happening west of here keeps stays together at the same pace it will hit right about game time.

I think they'll definitely get the game in, but there could be a delay to start the game, unless this system falls apart. Plenty of lightning just west of Ames currently.

I don't know a single meteorologist that got this weather correct today. Not too shocking I know.

FYI- The guy who had the Venmo sign has collected about $1600 so far. He shared on social media he's gonna buy a case of beer with whatever comes in and donate the rest to the UI Children's Hospital.

Could you imagine how bad of an idea that would have been to hold Gameday by Stephens? The end zone and the new plaza looked great on TV!!

It really was the best option (#2 imo was the clock/union area) for the scene, and convenience that everyone can get to the boozin' eating yelling and what have you.

Yeah, he was a total dud, and Is feel the same way even if he picked us. Pretty sure they said it was his third appearance as a guest picker. Who the hell decided to invite him back a second and third time? We should have gotten Katy Perry.

F&@K Eric Church, the real pick in this game is my stagger until game time.

I’m going Busch - Busch - Water

That’s the real winner

They will get the game in I think that is a forgone conclusion. However, my concern is that it is starting to look like it is back building. Maybe all the way to Omaha. If is starts running the hwy 30 train, may be waiting a long time to start the game. Hopefully it falls apart, but this time of day usually things ramp up.
