Okie State game is looking wet

Let's be real - there are some amazing games tomorrow, only true OSU and ISU diehards are watching this game on TV.

I'll have it on the primary with other big games on the other 3, hoping my eyes don't have a reason to drift.
I'll admit I died hard with the Ohio game last week. Good slate of games tomorrow. I'll watch the others and DVR ISU. I'll keep an eye on the score and jump in if it looks like we are going to put up a fight. If not I can ignore it so I don't ruin an otherwise great day of football watching.
 
I've never left a game early and I've never not gone to a home game when I was in town. I went to and sat through that entire Drake game. I sat through the entire rain delayed Iowa game. I'll be there tomorrow and I can't imagine that I'll not see the whole damn thing through. I'd be miserable if I left, so I might as well stick around.

I'm pretty thrilled with my new rain gear though. I was in Iceland in June and it was rainy almost the entire 2 weeks. I have rain pants. I have water proof hiking shoes. I'm going to be dry as a ******* bone.
 
Good luck with that! I used to be a PT and I don't remember any ankle replacements, that I ever worked w/ anyway. Is it relatively new? Could you tell me about it briefly?
It's a fairly new deal that I elected to try instead of a fusion.

They replace the tibia head and the talus (sp?) with titanium and put a plastic joint in between them. Unlike a fusion, you retain movement and flexibility in the joint instead of losing all that in fusion so that uneven surfaces are more manageable. I've got substantial nerve damage in that leg and had to do something to not shred my knee because the ankle couldn't support it any longer. If it's not successful (80ish% success rate) they can go back and fuse it. I want to put off the coming knee replacement as long as I can because I'm early 40s.

Hurts like a son of a ***** at this point but I'm already weight bearing and feel more stable than I did before surgery. Hopefully, 8 weeks from now I'll have a bunch of the mobility and balance I lost back.

What brand of gear?

I always told my TKA pts that it's gonna hurt pretty damn good (bad really) the 1st 2 months. The 3rd month you start to see the 'light' in terms of the pain routinely and significantly less.

Again, good luck and I hope it works for you!

Use a big honkin' umbrella! Tell the folks behind you I said it was OK.

It looks like they are not moving the game up. Have they ever done that due to weather? College or pro games? I would imagine it is pretty rare, due to TV schedules, etc.

It also makes too much sense, so you know it isn't going to happen.
Guessing they know they can finish if a delay happens
 
Seems weird that you don't understand that the school has zero say in the start time.
Sure, but what incentive does the network have to have an almost guaranteed delayed game on in that time slot? Surely Fox and ESPN could work out a deal to swap OSU-ISU (FS1) and Central Michigan-South Alabama (ESPN+) or SOMETHING. Not saying even money or anything, but work something out.

I know, not gonna happen, but sure would be nice for those of us going to the game.
 
What’s the final consensus as to what’s gonna happen with the rain this afternoon?

We’re all going to die! The latest weather prediction is hitting Ames between 2:30 and 3 with wind, rain and possibility of hail.
