Just curious, when was the last time a conference MBB game was postponed for weather? I really can't remember it happening so assuming it would be incredibly rare.
NFL teams have their own plane for the season (some even own their own plane). NCAA charter planes arrive about an hour before the teams departure (generally speaking). For basketball, sometimes the charter plane they arrive in is not the one that will take them home. Lots of ramifications of leaving a day early, most notably, the likelihood of not having a plane for the team. Hotel coordination is probably the easiest of all the logistics.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.
I want some basketball tommorrow dammit! I've been pumped to keep this momentum going since Tuesday night. I might be forced to watch the Big 10 or something as a last resort if the game is called.
I'll probably regret it but I'm waiting. Add more clothes and wear the snowmobile helmet. Drifts will be back if I do it today.I'm really having trouble deciding when to go dig out. If I go now I will certainly have to again. On the other hand, the wind is supposed to blow all day tomorrow too and if I wait till Sunday the wind chill is supposed to be -40.
They took all the hotel rooms. No room at the inn for cowpokes.For the WBB, Baylor flew here from Kansas yesterday after their Wednesday night game in Lawrence.
They will be, but they may be more manageable the next time. Take the punishment all at once or try to split it.I'll probably regret it but I'm waiting. Add more clothes and wear the snowmobile helmet. Drifts will be back if I do it today.
Same here. Gonna be really tough to sit in my house for the next 4 days. Expecting a jump in the birth rate 9 months from now.I'm really having trouble deciding when to go dig out.

Similar thinking for me this morning. I eventually went out around 8am. Thankfully I did, I had a drift that was about 4.5ft tall towards the end of my driveway. Had no idea it was that tall/deep looking at it from inside the house. Unfortunately, I'm going have to back out there this afternoon, hopefully much quicker the next go-around.
What were traveling conditions like? Are there more hotels available in Detroit than Ames?
How many games did each team have that week?
Tree outside our house. Eeek.
What kind of beer...might be worth the risk. Running out of beer is not good.Took me about 50 minutes to blow the snow we got last night and this morning, I would say we have another 5/6 inches at least since the first storm, so I guess it's now time to get ready for the wind to blow it all around and me forced to go out again and blow out the sidewalk and driveway again.
Worst part about the whole thing, was watching TV with the wife last night and my keg of beer ran out, I knew it was low, but I figured it would last the weekend. Called over and ordered a new one, but no way I am driving 20 miles on these roads, so I had to get out and make a beer run to the store. Side streets down here are horrible, and many have not been plowed yet.
This wind has at least been good to get the snow off the tree limbs.
I am old school, Bud only in the keg. Its a lot cheaper to purchase it by the keg than by the can. The new keg can wait until Monday or Tuesday.What kind of beer...might be worth the risk. Running out of beer is not good.
