LOL, they aren't going to up their travel so they can spend two days/nights out of their own element.

As long as their plane can land, the game will be played. The airport does a great job of keeping runways clear. The airlines are the ones who typically cancel flights out of caution, but with their flight being a charter, as long as the airport does not close, they will likely make the flight.

I've come to grips to the reality that there won't be a mbb game tomorrow. I guess I was thinking teams would travel more than 24 hours ahead of gametime, especially during a break in classes. Now that I read more of this thread, obviously not the way it's done. Oh well, I'll just watch the replay of Tuesday night as a substitute!

I’d put the chances on their being a game tomorrow at 99%.

Just got done snowblowing the driveway. Despite some huge drifts pretty easy job even for my little single stage electric. At times snow was 3 or 4 inches above the deck, so had to back up and go over the same spot twice, but the snow is so light just get it up in the air and the wind does the rest.

exactly. Why they didn't plan here is a little crazy. Should have been here last night and everyone and their dog could figure that out just by looking at the forecast. Now, even if they do make it, there will be dangerous roads to navigate today

And it could be tough to get back out until Monday based on the winds and temps forecasted for central Iowa. People are so dumb, acting like OSU doesn’t want to make it or something? If they can get here and get here safely they’ll be here.

Just did a pass of the snowblower. I've never had to go through such high drifts in my driveway.

The Register just texted that OSU still plans to leave in an hour.

I remember reading about inclement weather and NCAA team travel a few years ago (trying to find that link). Some teams will fly into different airports, within proximity of their destination, and drive down the morning of the game. Makes it a bit easier being our game is at 5pm tomorrow.

As an example, OK State could fly into MSP, then bus down to Ames early tomorrow morning. Using MSP purely as an example, but I do wonder if they're getting any of this storm.

Husband got home to our parking lot. He then called me because all of the open spots were drifted over. He parked as "out of the way" as he could, came in and grabbed our shovel while I bundled up to go outside. We each took turns at making a pass with the shovel in the nearest parking spot. A staff member of the complex drove past with a Bobcat, and came back to help finish it off. The path from the main sidewalk to the door is almost up to our knees. Got a lovely snow facial/dermapeel from my outdoor excursion. And now the pain sets in as my face thaws out.
