Up Next: Wichita State

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

35 to 20 is the easiest and I think the quickest. 1 hour to 20 and 1 hour to CF once you get on 20

Unless, of course, 35N is closed due to the blizzard like conditions and the snow and wind. Then the Marshalltown route is better.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Last Wednesday we went up by Marshalltown and came back on 35. Travel time was about the same.

I have the day off today and decided to drive from Waukee to go to the game tonight. Took 35 to 20 and it took just under 2 hours. Easy drive!

Guys, I'm not talking sh!t ! I was just suprised that the game wasn't sold out yet, and wanted to see what you guys had to say. I know how good uni is and how well we have to play to have a chance. Both teams strive in defense especially uni. We have to knock shots down to keep in it. And what is the deal with j. Moran? Is he in or out, and is it because of his ankle injury when you played us down in Wichita??

UNI can't call it a sell out before the game because of the way the student tickets are done. Students don't have to buy tickets or claim them ahead of time. They just show up and have their ID's scanned. The arena seats may be sold out, but we can't call it a sell out because there are still technically seats open.

Driving up from DSM tonight... Is it better to take the diagonal through Marshalltown than up 35 and over on 20?
It's not going to take me more than 2 hours, is it?

I think it is 6 one way half a dozen the other.

I live in Altoona, when I go up I take the diagnal because the diagnal starts in Altoona. If I am in Ankeny with friends before we head up during football season we head up 35 to 20.

Kaboom!

I hope we hear a lot of those tonight. Keep the defensive intensity and find some offensive firepower again.

That Highway 20 stretch is the most boring stretch of road in Iowa.. it just goes on and on and on forever.

The diagonal (65/330/14/20) is shorter distance-wise, though about half of it is 55 mph speed limit, and you have to go through Albion and Grundy Center (or at least the edge of it, if you take the "Holland bypass").

Timewise, I think they're about the same, at least when I drive it, but you do run the chance of getting stuck behind slower traffic.

Anymore, I just take 35/20, as it's just easier, even if it is a little bit longer.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

i always take the diagonal. the key is to know the backroads with no cops. of course, growing up in the area i could probably take gravels the whole way too if i wanted.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

We have sold out every valley game this year, and have had 87 straight games with at least 10000. Im sorry we cant put more people in then 10k, thats all it holds! So we built a 15,500 downtown arena.

You and Creighton and SIU are lucky to have your fanbases. We are a little jealous. You would think you would be better with that kind of support. Go figure

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I took the diagonal for about 25 years. Now I take 35/20 because I feel like I have a better chance of spotting a deer before he winds up in my grill.

One time I made it from Urbandale to Fairbank (east of Denver) in about an hour and a half. I was late for a wedding because I misread the invite, lucky there were no cops that day.

You are being a troll. If you honestly had a question or two then ask respectfully rather than the manner you utilized. You are a poor representation of WSU fans.

Thanks to whoever it was that broke down the city/metro population to attendance ratios. However, it would be more accurate to subtract student attendance and re-run the numbers. FWIW, I would say of the 10500 that attend most WSU games, about 800 are students. Our student section seats 1100, but unclaimed tickets go on sale as GA. I suspect the numbers will come out very similar. That's just the way it is when states our size have two "BcS" schools that when combined, dominate the fan bases of our states.
