I just got a text from my daughter's school that they have cancelled school tomorrow due to a high amount of absences. The Royals victory parade is going on at noon tomorrow.

:err:

We won the group costume award at the Halloween party Friday night. I should have called in sick today for our victory parade.

A bunch more school districts just cancelled now.

A family member on Facebook just posted that. There is a high probability that when the Cubs win the WS I will be at the parade.

Is the city pretty electric right now? It's gotta be a blast being around there today.

We understand that no Jimlad is necessary.

I admire his optimism, despite all evidence to the contrary.

I'd ask this question in the football forums but I already know what the response would be from them. Figured I might as well just ask a much more level-headed crowd.

Are you a bad fan if you prefer to watch the game from home over going to the game?

I enjoy going to games but I like watching them from home more because I feel like I can get into the game more and see everything so much clearer with TV.

I'm one of the people Boxster hates because I am a bit of a holier than thou fan, but I would say no. The reason you're staying home doesn't have a lot to do with how the team's doing, but instead you just prefer it. That's just a personal preference choice, so I wouldn't factor that in deciding how much better a fan I am than you :wink:

Well, folks...he may have been trying to sneak Jager, X, and THC wax into kinnick, but dammit, he's a true fan because he was at the game.

The fact that you didn't go to Wooster's, ISU's and Wisconsin's games means you're not a fan.

Iowa City just breeds stupidity.

Don't forget about the guy that tried to eat toilet paper to help with a breathalyzer.

Edit: CloneFan4 beat me to it...

It's pretty awesome. Fireworks all over the place after that last pitch last night. Big ones too. It helps having them for sale in Missouri, I guess.

I'm a Twins fan first and always will be, but the Royals have been my second favorite team since I moved here in '96. It's an easy team to like. KC will pretty much just shut down tomorrow.

Saw that as well, but maybe he was trying to eat TP because he's a ****head?

I've heard of sucking on a penny to pass a breathalyzer test (which obviously doesn't work) but never heard of eating toilet paper to pass one.

CG, your boyfriend in the cave is really starting to get on my last nerve.

We're talking Iowa City here, they're not the best with the great ideas....

No you are not. I agree with everything you said above. I enjoy the aspect of seeing a game live but not many of the things that go along with it i.e. traffic, long lines, etc. Plus eating at home during a game is cheaper and when nature calls you can be in and out and back to your chair and not miss any of the game.

It's ridiculous how nice the weather is. 2nd of November and it feels like summer.
