I hope the weather doesn't keep our fans away (i.e., travel concerns). I realize the majority of them are in the Cedar Valley, but nonetheless, we want the place packed. I wonder if the predicted ice becomes snow the closer we get to Saturday.

We absolutely CANNOT let snow become a factor in another game with the Hens.

Re: Waether Fri-Sat

The weather won't stop me from making the trip from Dsm, but I'm not sure how well the CF/Waterloo crowd will turn out if it's bad. I remember how people wanted to cancel a bb game last winter because the forecast was bad and they didn't want anybody going out in it.

This storm doesn't compare to what that one was in the slightest.

Where's Al Gore and all of this global warming when you need him?

You really should read Glenn Beck's book titles "An Inconvenient Book" it has a lot of good insight for "global warming"

Yeah, not close to the one that left people without power for up to two weeks. But, damn the weather, we got basketball to play!

Re: Waether Fri-Sat

I remember driving down to the MVC Basketball Tourney last year...WOW that was crazy. My wife and I left at 4:00am and could only go about 25 MPH all the way to IA City. We only saw about 10 other cars all the way down 380.

But than (8 hours later), we stepped out into the 65 degree weather in the beautiful St. Louis.

I can hear it already…”Outside, it’s 20 degrees, snowing and a wind chill of “x”. Inside, it 72 degrees, no snow and no wind…Welcome to the DOME!!” Gives me chills!! Awesome!!

Re: Waether Fri-Sat

Snow or not, as long as they are letting planes land in Cedar Rapids, I'll be there!

Re: Waether Fri-Sat

Seriously folks...if people in Waterloo/Cedar Falls can't get there...I hope this is not going to be the case. We need a full house!!!!

I'll be there--I live about three blocks away from Lang Hall, and if I have to walk my skinny, frozen arse across campus to go, I will.

Re: Waether Fri-Sat

I'll be there...If I have to I'll make the horrible walk from Hillcrest Apartments to the dome. The whole 10 minutes it might take

Re: Waether Fri-Sat

If the current forecast holds true, luck may be on our side.

1 We request, make that beg for a 6:30 kick and are refused. Must kick at 1:00

2 Forecast for Sat. indicates that there will probably not be a problem for fans getting to the game at 1:00 because the serious stuff won't happen until later in the day. By 4 PM, with victory in hand, our fans linger awhile to celebrate, then move next door to the McLeod for our 7 PM tip against Loyola--Chi. At least that's my plan. Anyone care to join me?

As it turns out, a 6:30 kick may have created major problem for fans getting to the games.

Come on, folks! This is IOWA...we don't let weather stop us from doing anything we REALLY want to do...remember back in the day when UNI cancelled classes and all the conveinence stores were sold out of beer before noon? It's all in your priority!
Everyone knows you just need to be careful, leave earlier, drive slower, and put your BIG coat in the car, just in case!
Go Panthers!

Dude, Glenn Beck is the equivilent to Michael Moore or Ann Coulter. Why make reasoned arguments in a sensible fashion when you can be an obnoxious jacka**, misconstrue the facts, and treat your own opinion like absolute truth, especially when this pathetic joke that we now call journalism will sell more copies and get higher ratings?
