I was pondering watching the Nebby/EIU game last night what should be added to the metrics home court advantage when the game is played in a blizzard. I'm thinking at least double the normal home court advantage, maybe up to 10 pts. Especially thinking of Purdue/Nebraska and Houston/ISU as samples. Would we have lost by 6 to Houston if it wasn't storming? Very possibly.

Call it the Sicko Bump, if I were a gambling man (I am not), I would hit the home team hard anytime the weather is very bad.

OSU getting 12 pts. I'm concerned that this is a classic let down spot for ISU. Just got over a emotional physical Houston game. Not a lot of juice in Hilton due to low attendance and the opponent. Hope we win but 12 pts is too much for me to lay.

Thanks Rulzzz Go Cyclones

Assuming flight info from page 1 is correct, as of 11:00 OSU still hasn't left OKC yet.

Yeah, they kept bumping back the scheduled departure time by 10 min. Now, it hasn’t changed from 10:05 am.

I guess it's possible that we've been tracking the wrong flight but, I doubt it

I’ve never been concerned for an Otz team getting “up” to play a weaker opponent

They need to just postpone it at this point.

 

[HardcoreClone]

Play it 7 or 8pm tonight, or 11am tomorrow? Don't think 5pm tip should be set in stone.

I imagine there aren't many large charter flights traveling between OKC and DSM today. The only thing that gives me pause is, does a basketball team really need a 737 as opposed to a CRJ (or similar) with 50-100 seats? Maybe that's what was available, though.

Needs to be over by Chiefs game. For my personal viewing pleasure.

Some teams upgrade to a bigger plane in bad weather and given the flight history of OSU, I'm guessing they do

 

[CyberJJJ]

So the situation is the same for everyone?

No, as our follow up game is in Hilton.

Isn't that on peacock?

Per wikipedia, Hillwood's 737s are either a BBJ configurable for 36, 60, or 94 seats or standard 737s configurable for 60 or 100 seats. I'm guessing that they ARE taking a plane with 60 seats. Basketball players need a little more legroom.

Your **** is all paid for and ready to go?

We've been snowed in for 2 days with 12+" snow and blizzard wind. I tried to get out this morning and got buried 50 yards from my driveway. We live 15 miles from the Missouri line and I am sure it is worse in central Iowa. Common sense says reschedule if OSU has not arrived or even if they have.

That makes a lot a sense. Not seeing anything else plausible going to DSM, and no flights are scheduled at AMW today, so I'm pretty sure that flight is the correct one.

 

[HFCS]

No, as our follow up game is in Hilton.

We also have been beating multiple top ten teams per year…not one per century.

We'll see if Okie State makes it to Ames. Regardless, GO CYCLONES!

As of 11am, according to Jamie steyer, Oklahoma State has not yet arrived. Their plane has mechanical issues this morning
