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. Dude, I saw the video. And I didn't see an intact court floating.And I'd rather take a float trip on the Skunk than go to Des Moines for a game.

Quote from: Haverhill on August 12, 2010, 11:02:54 PMWells Fargo Arena in Des Moines is where our home games will be played if Hilton is not ready. Weird. From what I've learned around here, I'd have thought it'd be played in Minneapolis.

Relax, pretty sure that the Fossil store is one the second floor. Save us the trouble of using the stairs, we can just canor right on up to the door. Also, it's an apparel store, not one of those sorry little accessory POS's.
Weird, the video looked a lot different. Just exactly what kind of scam are you corn/pig farmers trying to pull up there?

I'm not comfortable with our Cats playing in that death trap. The ames game should be moved to OOD. Or kick isu out of the conference.

Or kick isu out of the conference.I'm with Trim on this one. We could slip.....or even worse, drown!!! The last thing that we can afford to happen to end our championship dream would be for Kelly to go up for a dunk in Hilton then come down from the rim and drown.
