Random Thoughts 14: I can see clearly now 2020 edition

[Ms3r4ISU]

Looking at the FB-mitigation plan that lists what will happen at FB games, what is allowed, what is not, etc. and already I see two things that really needed an editor. I bolded the specific wording in each.

1. Second to last bullet under Gate Entry: entry allowed at all gates (pre-game / after halftime) but ticket must be exit-scanned.
What does it mean?

2. First bullet point under In-Game-->Seating: All ticketing administered digitally (call the Ticket Office at 515-294-1816 with questions).
No comment.

I am curious, have you ever wondered what those rural people thought of the larger town folks at weddings?

That is a damn good question and no I haven't. I guess I suppose they think "That is one damn fine white guy getting his groove on."

I have not but after Googling I am going to have to check that one out!

Pretty much all of the Football attendance threads have become instantly toxic.

Yeah, those threads pretty much have the worst parts of all threads. You have the cave component because you can't really have a conversation about attendance without discussing COVID, you have the ISR aspect because they have to compare it to what Iowa and the Big 10 is doing, and then you have the "fandom contest" component that you get when there's either a bad loss or questions about whether a coach should be fired where there's a question of who the real Iowa State fans are

I am about ready for a CF sabbatical.

I hate a couple dozen frequent posters and am starting to hate Iowa even though it is the home state of my beloved alma mater. Not much you can discuss that doesn't turn to ****.

Prayers for you

Thanks. I appreciate that in my time of need.

That's the assumption that I make. I think it's fair and honest.

I have no words...

Nu...what? What is this verbal sorcery?

I bought a dozen ears of sweet corn yesterday. I guess at noon I better get to shucking.

I hear vodka helps.

Seems the hardcore will place you in two spots. You either want everyone to die or you are cowering under your desk in fear. Nothing in the middle.

Yep. I'm not really shocked by it though.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Thanks! Still have a lot of friends trying to muddle through on campus.

Here's the link to today's Town Hall recording.

I've notice this as well. It's an either/or that does a lot of finger pointing. But like most things, the extreme minority are the loudest.

Which is partially why I'm not asking this question "there." What's the intention for the press areas? 25%? Pool coverage? Drones only?

This is new and no doubt will be scrutinized heavily in the days to come. ISU's COVID-19 testing update page. https://asqk.ehs.iastate.edu/coviddashboard/ISUTestingUpdate/IsuTestingUpdateDashboard
