Good thing the opener wasn't scheduled for 11am today. Might have put a slight damper on tailgating festivities.
For those who may not realize it there are some ferocious storms rolling through eastern Iowa from Iowa City to the quad cities and south as I type this.

Thanks for the heads up! I bet that storm will head my way here in Madison!

They had a hell of one up there a year ago today. Flooded the Shoe Box in Black Earth, closed Hwy 14 from Middleton to Mazomanie.

Yup! I have family in the Verona Middleton area. S*%# was crazy! 14 is highly traveled

Nice. I live in Verona. I have a boat slip by Waypoint off the Beltline in Monona. Water was thigh high on the pier, when it’s usually a couple feet below the pier. Basically had to snorkel to get the ropes loose to get the boat out

hate to be a buzz kill but weather.com says 50% chance of rain
Local had at 30% chance of showers in the morning. Not an all day deal according to them if we get anything.

weather has been bizarre in Iowa.....May/June were wet and cool, then July was like an oven. August has been very cool, have had my AC on once in my house in the past three weeks. Sounds like we may need long sleeved shirts for the game Saturday night. It's been getting dark out at around 8:20ish, if cloudy then much sooner.

Parents are in Verona. Small world. I believe it, just rained for a while this morning on your boat!

I know I speak for others when I say thanks, many, many of us live outside of Iowa and haven't a clue about the weather!

Ever get over to Sugar River Pizza? It's close to the Wellness Center where many AAU tournaments take place. It's much better than the local Pizza Ranch. Every time we go into the Verona Pizza Ranch I swear the same families are in there hogging the buffet all afternoon.

If anybody is in NW Iowa and bored we’re frying fish in the afternoon before the game and I’ll have enough of Okoboji’s finest bluegill for a bus load. I make a mean ass chipotle/lime sauce for fish that’ll make you forget tartar sauce ever existed, and there will be watermelon and coleslaw to go with it.
For those of you going to the game, I’ll donate $50 to the children’s hospital for anyone who gets a “DEATH TAXES FRYOWA” sign on TV.

Aren't NW Iowa and bored kind of a redundancy?
I've actually been to the Okoboji area twice and had a great time both times I was there. My wife's college friend (and her maid of honor once upon a time) was blown away by how blue West 'Boji is. Note: She grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin and has seen a few lakes in her day.
