It's Officially Game Day!!!

[Chad]

Boy is the grounds crew going to have a fun time if it keeps pouring
like this and the field is soft tonight...the new sod isn't going to be very happy

How much rain did Ames get?? In Ankeny, not sure we got any - didnt wake me anyway.

We got a good rain in Ankeny. Driveway/deck is wet. Should be just right for football tonite.

This is better than waking up on christmas morning as a kid. I think the person who is most excited for the season to get underway is my wife. I think she is getting tired of the constant updates on exactly how long it is until kickoff.

Man I so geeked for this game I can barely concentrate. I keep telling college football fans here at work about the game and I know a few are interested in watching it. I even wore my ISU shirt to work, but everyone assumes its a USC shirt due to being in So Cal. Nothing more irritating then walking through the halls at work and hearing the random "go Trojans" yelled as I walk by. Go Cyclones!

I wonder how muddy the uniforms will get...I wouldn't want to wash them if it doesn't dry out a bit

Maybe we could put the muddy uniforms on a treadmill........MAN IT'S GOOD IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON AGAIN

I need to gain some more credits before the end of the day... Anything made today will be placed on us covering...

Ames airport reports 0.82", and it ended between 3 and 4 a.m.

[cycloneman003]

im so psyched!

[stvfarmboy]

I am in Ames and had about 0.25" yesterday and about another 0.8" last night. Which is pretty much the same as TheShadow said above.

Oh, sweet Laramie! We drove my limousine out there for the game in... '96? We got it handed to us that day. But we tailgated at least 4 hours ahead, and were the only ones there for the next 3... I think that was Tiller's last year there or second to last. After the beat down we took we went to the Professional Bull Riding Tour next door in the BB arena. I have some great pictures from the top of the mountains with my buddies. What a beautiful place... to visit.

I don't think I've ever tried that

I am all excited, trying to do four hours of work, and get the office carpets cleaned!!

Everyone's kicked out for the rest of the day

[CycloneErik]

Somebody threw a paper wad my way tonight. I caught it, and just had to yell, "That's another Cyclone...............FIRST DOWN!!!"

People looked like I was some kind of dork or something. I don't get it.

[Cyclonestate78]

my first thought on gameday too

Mine would be more like..... How many beers am I going to drink today?

Let's hope they don't have any Giant Bunnies like this one:

Or the killer rabbit from Monty Python's the Holy Grail:
Tim: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
Robin: You tit! I soiled my armour I was so scared!
Tim: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

I have a buddy at work from South Dakota. I've heard "GoooooooooooooJack Rabbbbittts" way too many times.


When it's game time, it's pain time, baby! Whooooooo!
