The volleyball team still uses Hilton to practice, and its not like we have a separate court just for the vball team to practice with. I wish they had just practiced in a gym on campus but we can't exactly change what happened now. This court had the likes of Hoiberg, Cato, Fizer, Tinsley, Sullivan play on it so its kind-of sad that it will be gone. They will probably auction off pieces of the court. I'll definitely try to buy a piece of the court. In the meantime, I get to have a lot of photoshop fun making a new basketball court!!

Probably should have stayed away from goEMAW.com yesterday... 3 hours of sleep and hours of sandbagging= Crabby Havs. People are in much higher spirits today all across Ames and Central Iowa.

The only buildings at ISU in the floodplain are Hilton, Scheman, Jack Trice, and the Lied Rec Center. Every dorm and every classroom at Iowa State will be ready for students for classes this fall. Move-in begins Sunday. The University of Iowa has over half of their campus within a block of the Iowa River and lost almost 1/3 of their buildings in 2008. Students at U of I in 2008 took classes in churches, restaurants, hallways, closets, etc. or were just told to find another school. I'm content with damage to a few athletic facilities if the rest of the campus is high and dry. I've said this time and time again that Hilton was built on the cheapest land possible at the cheapest price possible in 1971 simply because we wanted out of the Old Armory. The same is with Jack Trice and Iowa State wanting out of Clyde Williams Field.

Back when Hilton and Jack Trice were proposed, the last flood in the area now known as the Iowa State Center hadn't had a flood since 1918. That flood was nowhere near as bad as what we saw yesterday. Ames has had THREE "1,000 year floods" (meaning a flood with the likelihood of happening once every 1,000 years) in the last 17 years... In theory, we should now be clear until the year 5010 but I'm not putting my guard down. Expect flood gates to be constructed around Hilton Coliseum in your next few trips to Hilton. I will be extremely surprised if any major renovations are ever made to Hilton again; we may just let Hilton get old and then replace it with a new arena on higher ground somewhere near Welch and Hayward Avenues, and Mortensen Road. In the meantime, Fred Hoiberg will use the following line.... "see, _(insert school here)_ doesn't have a practice facility, if it floods, gets damaged, or is wiped off the face of the earth; you'll be left without your own practice gym... you're much too good to have to practice in a public gym."

Suck it Bramlage.

Probably should have stayed away from goEMAW.com yesterday... 3 hours of sleep and hours of sandbagging= Crabby Havs. People are in much higher spirits today all across Ames and Central Iowa.

The only buildings at ISU in the floodplain are Hilton, Scheman, Jack Trice, and the Lied Rec Center. Every dorm and every classroom at Iowa State will be ready for students for classes this fall. Move-in begins Sunday. The University of Iowa has over half of their campus within a block of the Iowa River and lost almost 1/3 of their buildings in 2008. Students at U of I in 2008 took classes in churches, restaurants, hallways, closets, etc. or were just told to find another school. I'm content with damage to a few athletic facilities if the rest of the campus is high and dry. I've said this time and time again that Hilton was built on the cheapest land possible at the cheapest price possible in 1971 simply because we wanted out of the Old Armory. The same is with Jack Trice and Iowa State wanting out of Clyde Williams Field.

Back when Hilton and Jack Trice were proposed, the last flood in the area now known as the Iowa State Center hadn't had a flood since 1918. That flood was nowhere near as bad as what we saw yesterday. Ames has had THREE "1,000 year floods" (meaning a flood with the likelihood of happening once every 1,000 years) in the last 17 years... In theory, we should now be clear until the year 5010 but I'm not putting my guard down. Expect flood gates to be constructed around Hilton Coliseum in your next few trips to Hilton. I will be extremely surprised if any major renovations are ever made to Hilton again; we may just let Hilton get old and then replace it with a new arena on higher ground somewhere near Welch and Hayward Avenues, and Mortensen Road. In the meantime, Fred Hoiberg will use the following line.... "see, _(insert school here)_ doesn't have a practice facility, if it floods, gets damaged, or is wiped off the face of the earth; you'll be left without your own practice gym... you're much too good to have to practice in a public gym."

Suck it Bramlage.

Suck it wheat field with "Practice Facility Coming Soon" sign.

Recruit:  Can I take a look a the court where I'll play home games?
F. Hoiberg: (blushing) ummm, it's under 8 feet of water from the Skunk.
Recruit:  That's cool, you are my only offer.

To be fair, the court is actually floating above the 8 feet of water... in one piece I might add. If thats not Hilton Magic, Hilton Physics is still pretty damn cool.

Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines is where our home games will be played if Hilton is not ready. Last week I actually thought it'd be cool if Farmageddon was played at Wells Fargo and Sprint instead of Hilton and Bramlage. To each his own I guess.

The court itself is 15 feet above record flood stage. Plus, its winter and everything will freeze in place instead of float downstream. The City of Des Moines and Polk County spent upwards of $300 million on the arena so it is safe to say they have more access to flood prevention technology.

This thread went all over the place, as it was expected and supposed to, but today AD Jamie Pollard, President Geoffrey, the Director of Finance, and the Buildings Manager at Iowa State had a press conference updating on the flood situation. Some of you may find this interesting how a school goes about recovering from a disaster of this magnitude.

http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=204979630&DB_OEM_ID=10700 http://www.cyclones.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=10700&PALBID=379449

Many people questioned why Iowa State was unable to prevent this flood; a flood in 2008 matched the flood of 93 in Ames and improvements to Hilton kept water out of the building. This flood last week was roughly 2-3 feet higher (seems like not much, but actually a huge difference) than 1993, and simply went over all preventative measures to keep Hilton dry. It was the largest flood in recorded history, and geological investigations will tell just how long it has been since the last flood of this magnitude. Some comments in the press conference led to the possibility of completely renovating Hilton now since large portions of the building will be torn up anyway. Quite a few preventative flood measures will also be implemented and constructed over the next few years.

Although I wish this hadn't happened, being a Community & Regional Planning major at Iowa State, I find this all quite interesting.

Although I wish this hadn't happened, being a Community & Regional Planning major at Iowa State, I find this all quite interesting.

I can't believe I've already watched the first vid for 10+ minutes but I keep hoping Pollard is going to start laughing and chuckling again about how much fun he's having with this whole deal.

This thread went all over the place, as it was expected and supposed to, but today AD Jamie Pollard, President Geoffrey, the Director of Finance, and the Buildings Manager at Iowa State had a press conference updating on the flood situation. Some of you may find this interesting how a school goes about recovering from a disaster of this magnitude.

Many people questioned why Iowa State was unable to prevent this flood; a flood in 2008 matched the flood of 93 in Ames and improvements to Hilton kept water out of the building. This flood last week was roughly 2-3 feet higher (seems like not much, but actually a huge difference) than 1993, and simply went over all preventative measures to keep Hilton dry. It was the largest flood in recorded history, and geological investigations will tell just how long it has been since the last flood of this magnitude.

Yeah. And in the case of Duke basketball, I'm pretty sure the wheels get greased too. I think Stanford, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt are really the only BCS schools that actually adhere to their school's normal set of academic admissions standards.

But yeah, LSU is pretty damn easy to get into, and yet there are a number of really talented athletes who STILL can't get in to their football program and end up going to 1-AA McNeese and occasionally Southeastern Lousiana and Northwestern State. McNeese has won a number of conference championships off the backs of LSU non-qualifiers who are talented enough to knock around their 1-AA counterparts but not talented enough for LSU to invest themselves in exploiting a loophole or two to get them in. I'm sure their basketball program is the same way. Nebraska needs the talent, so they'll find a way to get Spencer in. Even if the NCAA puts the kibosh on the transfer (they won't), NU could just funnel him to a JUCO for a semester or two and pump his grades up. Nebraska is well-known among coaching circles for having athletes take a crapload of courses at JUCO's during the summer and then giving them like...3 hours of coursework during the academic year, and then they count those JUCO grades into their whole Academic All-American count. Hence the inflated numbers in that department.

I think Vandy made a little run at getting some morons in, realized that they can't steal enough morons from Fulmer to be really goos, and went back to being smart and crapty.

How very Iowan to prefer a moldy skunk pond.  I love you weird spooky folks!  No wonder you build in flood plains...you like it!!!   :cheers: <------ 2 iowans with skunk water before a big game against uni.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe smelling like skunk is actually preferable to the regular Iowan BO?

Semis were too small to cross the flooded Squaw Creek by Hilton Coliseum.

Skunk River (other side of town) is always too big to cross.

Wait, skunk creek is on the other side of town?  So, skunk creek flooded the entire town? Damn, somebody really needs to teach you guys some community planning skills.  Obviously, no one in the entire town has an education at all about how to properly design cities.  Maybe some one from Des Moines can help you guys design after you rebuild?
