i put all of the blame on JP tonight. This game should have been moved up or moved to tomorrow. There were no TV networks to answer to. Another microcosm of a bad organization

Well golly, Pollard didn't predict that the first game in Iowa State history to get cancelled because of weather would happen tonight. String him up. Moron
I still don't know why playing it in Bergstrom wasn't an option.
I get why redoing it on Sunday was impractical.
But I've seen high school games moved indoors. Why couldn't we?

I seriously can not understand how people don't get that, postponing a game to the next day almost never happens in FBS, especially in today's game. I do not know if I have heard of it happening in an FBS game in any recent modern era game. There are just way too many variables and moving parts that all have to align for it to work, and it is almost impossible to get that to happen, then you have to consider the forecast showing a strong chance that the weather tomorrow may not be any better to allow a game to be played, as well. You also have to consider the teams and the coaches and the fact that these teams have another game to rest and prepare for in a week, that would mean losing time for those things moving on to the next week.
We are not talking about a high school game here, there is MUCH MUCH more that goes into it than just moving it later. All staff, officials, teams, coaches, on field staff, security, concessions, gate, television, radio, reporters, band, parking workers, you name it all have to not only be available and there, but also have to have accommodations and transportation for the night. Travel plans need to be changed. Its a logistical nightmare to even consider.
While we all would like to think, just play it tomorrow, in reality, it is almost an impossibility.

Probably it has something to do with the fact that the Berg is not actually big enough to have a game, I dont believe it has proper clearances around the field and the height over the entire field to allow for a game to be played. Moving a game indoors in a stadium made for hosting games is different than moving it to a practice facility not meant for hosting games. Again, this is not High School.
I nominate you for worst non cave post of the year, congratulations.
Still lol-Ing at everyone that thinks the NCAA, ISU, Or SDSU would sanction an actual competition in a PRACTICE facility.
I'm sure both coaches would absolutely love the fact that they'd give away their chances at replays since it isn't camera ready.
I'm sure they'd also love not having coaches in the box to see what's going on from above.
I'm sure they'd also love the opponent being able to hear everything that's being said across the field in huddles and things.
But hey, other than that obvious stuff I'm sure absolutely nothing else is an issue either.
It's a strong candidate for top position including cave posts.
You’re putting the cart before the horse. But hay, other than that you were close.
Safety is a legitimate reason to not play another 25 minutes in order to get a W on the record, although if it’s that dangerous than we really shouldn’t be utilizing it for far more time than that via practice. Whether the NCAA or SDSU would allow it is another much more valid counter than something like suboptimal filming, but also something that should have been a stipulation in paying SDSU for a full game if they refuse.
This was a really stupid post. You should feel embarrassed.
This can't be a serious post?
Just took a look at the OP’s history. Dude appears to hate everything ISU (including Naz Long, somehow?) Methinks he's serious with the post.

Why? Cause it’s short or cause it is absent any critical thinking?
All this late night drunk posting from last night had been highly entertaining this morning.
