*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Baylor Game(Day) THREAD ***
An absolute classic, another Manning special. -
*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Baylor Game(Day) THREAD ***
Yet again another day of "why is Tom Manning still an offensive coordinator". Sigh -
*** Official #14 IOWA STATE vs Baylor Game(Day) THREAD ***
I've never seen a team as bad at special teams as Iowa state. For a guy that talks a lot about fundamentals you would think we'd be at least somewhat competent at basic plays that happen every game. -
Grass Lots - Texas Edition
It's an interesting predicament. Since it was a fairly cold/dry snow there's not a ton of moisture locked into it, and we'll have 3 full days with above freezing highs I could see it opened. I know snow depths across town have varied fairly wildly so if some of the snow blew away from those lots... -
Twedt no longer committed
If it wasn't a forgone conclusion then, it certainly was after Twedt retweeted it. That's not the type of culture that CMC likes. -
Assuming Tomorrow’s Game is Cancelled
Ignoring some of the laughably bad takes about lightning tomorrow... here's a little bit of info about why you should not be worried about a cancellation tomorrow. This is not a trend, this is bad luck over the past couple years. Thunderstorms happen pretty frequently in Iowa. It was only a... -
Fire All of the Weatherpeople
The SDST game was much better forecast. I remember that day we were pretty concerned throughout most of the day, the hope was that we'd just get lucky. But there, it was pretty well forecast (archives show 60-70% chances throughout the day/night for that game). That setup was a lot more volatile... -
Fire All of the Weatherpeople
Hi there, actual meteorologist here. Is there anything specific you guys have questions about? The storms that originally started out in Nebraska weren't forecasted, and followed the edge of a slowly moving instability gradient. We see similar setups all the time that rarely produce storms, so... -
College Gameday in Ames?
Are those not completely closed off right now for construction? -
Bring a raincoat to your tailgate
On the other hand... a good chunk of Euro ensembles recurve even faster than the GFS... ;) But your point is good here. Most, if not all, meteorologists can outperform any individual model for one forecast point at one time. FYI, the NWS does something similar... if you go to the standard... -
Weather Channel for Aug 31
Because it's our job. The forecasted general pattern here hasn't changed much since this thread was first started, but small changes make a difference. The cool weather has been expected for a couple weeks - that's nice to plan for instead of sweltering heat. If the situation had been reversed... -
Weather Channel for Aug 31
Well things could've taken a better look. Rather than the deep trough and resultant high pressure system settling directly over us, both feature are now expected to be a bit weaker and have shifted north as a result. Still wouldn't be too concerned about rain on Saturday - if it does occur, it's... -
Weather Channel for Aug 31
Yes, and the models have been pretty insistent on the 500mb pattern since my first post in this thread a few days ago. Unless the ridge axis changes and high pressure ends up shifting out east ahead of schedule, there's really no threat for bad weather, it's more of a question of "will the... -
Weather Channel for Aug 31
You couldn't dream up a better pattern than what's being forecasted. Sfc/Mid-level high pressure system should be parked almost directly overhead during the day Saturday... meaning there shouldn't be more than a cloud or two in the sky. Heat wouldn't be a concern here... but if overnight lows... -

FB Season Tix Update from Pollard
Now down to 90. Pace has slowed down quite a bit, looks like we'll end up just a few dozen short at this rate. -
Weather Channel for Aug 31
Finally a thread I can actually contribute to! The Weather Channel's forecast is essentially just taking the climate average high temp for that day. The overall look to the long range forecast models suggests that it could be a cooler than average with no obvious rainy pattern. I'm optimistic... -
FB Season Tix Update from Pollard
I'm now counting 186 left, all at the donor level. How soon till it's less than 100? -
FB Season Tix Update from Pollard
Since I evidently have nothing better to do today, updated: 239 total left, 17 at the non-donor level. People must be realizing it's cheaper to buy season tickets than buy the resell tickets on Ticketmaster for just the TOE game. -
