You were at the game and this is your complaiint?

I agree but I still don't like hype people. The dude in the big hat at the wbb tournament was OK, but I only made the championship game and didn't have to listen to him all tourney.

They were content to never try to win the game and lose 21-3. It was one of the most bizarre games I've ever watched. The stadium looked and sounded great on TV to start the game. By the end of it, I felt bad for the fans.

The final wide crowd shot at the two-minute warning looked like spring game levels of attendance. Looked like 95% of you decided to GTFO early.

I doubt she's getting paid much. In-game hosts are the norm in pro sports.

Beer sales to the masses is the norm at pro sports too.

The second time she screeched her announcement I was done. Some of it might be turning her mic way down(off preferably) but her “fingernails scratching a chalk board” voice was horrible. Hoping it gets shut down sooner than later.

Boring game, arguably a poor performance relative to expectations, and sneaky hot weather. Probably a lot of memories of last year's season opening postgame traffic debacle too. (Which thankfully did not materialize.)

Too be fair, the ref had trouble all day with his mic.

It was that bad. And apparently she’s a hawk fan.

Yes that wasn’t good either. Did we ever hear a complete call? LOL.
That at least can be fixed. I don’t think that screechy voice can be..

It seemed better in the second half but there were still issues

Pretty impressive they could get Kurt Warner’s wife to do this though.

Gozer.

So many trickling out over the course of the second half probably helped prevent that.

Potential for some worse travel issues this year too since US69 is closed south of Ames. That usually takes a good chunk of gameday traffic.

Do they just play rap music between plays now?

Unfortunately there were one or two country music songs between plays later in the game. And the band played something at half time by racist Morgan Wallen.
Replace those with rap, and the crazy lady with rap, and it would have been better. And I'm not even much a fan of rap.

True.

I didn't realize 69 was closed south of Ames. Great timing DOT.

So much better than the band imo.

In 2 places. Between ames and huxley, and then again north of Ankeny.

The one between ames and huxley was supposed to reopen sometime in late september, but no idea if that's on track.

Apparently it takes two months to take out a culvert pipe, place a new precast culvert and pave over it........

She’s a nimble little minx isn’t she?

 

[carvers4math]

The teenage boy next to me thought they should have the ref and “the screaming lady” switch microphones
