I know there are logical reasons not to move it to tomorrow (i.e. we both play on Tuesday), but that's no different than a Saturday to Monday game. And it would pretty much solve all the problems.

Boy if you look at the projected radar today, there's going to be snow for a big chunk of the day in various places. Not much, but enough to impact travel. It was spitting a little snow in West Des Moines a few minutes ago.

I am running out of places to put snow.

FFS, what exactly is the problem?

The current radar doesn't show any bad weather over their flight path, you have numerous planes landing like a normal day in Des Moines today if you check the arrivals, and people who have driven I-35N say it's fine.

It could be getting approval to take off. With so many commercial cancellations yesterday, I'm guessing commericial flights get priority.

Thursday, Feb 1 makes a lot of sense for a new date. ISU has no weekday game that week, and OSU plays in Lawrence that Tuesday night.

That's our bye week though, we need to get this game in either tonight or tommorrow. We've literally played 2 games in about the last 35 days, we'll need that week to rest for once since they got rid of that stupid SEC challenge.

When I called the opening manager who comes from Des Moines seemed kind of miffed about me calling in.

I came in Tuesday and Friday when I probably has no business doing so and Friday I was only day employee to come in. Since Aug. 26 I've worked every day but Thanksgiving and Christmas day so I think I'm allowed a freaking snow day.
NO Rulzzz, you are allowed to give him/her the one finger waive and then what they can French kiss.
Never EVER put your safety above a job.
