Woot! Woot! Game day!!
Some of you saw my post in the ticket exchange about needing one ticket and then not needing one because my sister got one. Realized the edited title was confusing so changed it again.
Anyway, she and I are putting together a few things for the birthday girl whose dad is bringing her today. Beads, pompoms, programs from earlier games, etc. Hopefully she’s OK with them and is/will be a Cyclone fan. They’re coming from far NW Iowa and glad the snow’s not falling here today.

Out of the 24 times I've played, 50% of the time I've solved in 5 words, with 5 in 3 words, 3 in 4 words, and 4 in 6 words.

Seems like every day it comes down to one or two words, and somehow I always choose...

LEAST
BROIL
D
OILY
WORLD
COULD

It's probably because nearly every day I use a dead letter or two (middle letter in the 3rd & 4th words). Did I mention that I'm NOT a morning person?!?!?!
I have played it 25 times. Fourteen times have been a 4, four times a 5, six times a 3 and one time a 2.

So my average is still (barely) under 4 at about 3.8.

Not exactly sure.
Pam and Tommy as a series. Outside of the men watching to see the bouncing around in skimpy swimsuits, how many people will watch that?

Nice!! How'd you swing that?
Sister bought one so she could get in, she’d sold our other two to a friend so he could bring his daughter as a birthday present. She said she found this one all by itself in 131 and probably overpaid, but oh well. I took one for the team and sat here so she could sit with friend and daughter.
I think all four to my left were this-game-only, too. I’ll just say it’s quite different scenery sitting in row 2, but loved being that close to the action on the floor.

Great day of ISU BB!! The women get one on the road and the men defend Hilton. Can't ask for more than that.
I kept up as much as possible with the wbb thread here and ESPN app. Let’s just say the WiFi was no better near the floor.

We've actually had better access in Hilton this year. We have Verizon, and use Samsung Galaxy S20 phones. I've been able to run the box score off the ESPN app at every game we went to, whereas in the past we were lucky to get anything at all.
