State Games postponed??
- Thread starter Saints7078
- Start date
Wednesday like the old first round games? Wisconsin's title games were played midweek mid-afternoon this year (Kenosha St Joe won and I was like wth are they playing on Wednesday afternoon).
Iowa has played their games at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls for years.
Yea, but they are going to put the boards up and play arena football from my sources.
I like my rumor about the 7A game better, but I live close to Allstate Arena.
The IHSA didn't make the decision-- ISU did.

That's the part everyone keeps ignoring, especially the folks calling out the "soft" ihsa.
I get the safety issue. But it's too bad these games won't be played. It would be fun to watch in those conditions. I have a question...or two. First, has this ever happened where these games have been canceled? And, do you think these games would have been played 30, 40 or 50 years ago? If you were to say yes, then I see no reason not to play now. Roads and snow removal is better and vehicles are certainly better to handle snow than they were years ago, especially when driving rear wheel drive vehicles. JMO
The forecast though is calling for conditions that snow removal can't happen when it is coming down at the rates predicted and winds. Interstates can and have been closed down during snow events for hours at a time. Now if literally everyone who was going to be playing in these games and attending these games was already safely in the Bloomington-Normal area already, then that would perhaps change things. But with fan busses etc. coming down to rightfully cheer on their teams, it is better to postpone so as not to put all of them in a hazardous situation, while also still hopefully preserving their ability to enjoy the games when they are played.
Also the games are just postponed and will be played just not tomorrow sadly due to the weather.
Last Friday Saturday and Sunday were amazing opening days with 59 trails and 20+ miles open. Even GOAT and Star were open with generous snow cover and virtually no ice except at the waterfall. Next we head to Park city for a bachelor party in January and then to vail for a couple of weeks at the end of February
Yes they were played a short 10 years ago in the semis with much more dangerous conditions due to widespread black ice. To the OP whining about safety stay home and play baseball!
nominated for dumbest post of the year
Care to bet your upcoming trips to Vail and Park City that the majority of this board has common sense and would agree with me in an overwhelming majority as compared to you? Put up or shut up.
Bill never turned my money down on Western or his original namesake bar on Archer Ave so he’d be game.
But instead, the game should be played in the rink across from Lawlors
Shane refused mine but I admit I was overserved .Bill never turned my money down on Western or his original namesake bar on Archer Ave so he’d be game.

I’m so old I remember Bill wrestling for the Vittum Vikings which became the Vittum Cats when they merged with the Cicero Bobcats. Do I have the right guy?Bill never turned my money down on Western or his original namesake bar on Archer Ave so he’d be game.

If you know who I am you know I only wager for charity so I’m guessing you’re new here making such a stupid proposal.
Nah been here as long as you have going back almost 20 years...unfortunately had to make a new profile due to the migration over here. I'm done debating this...you have your opinion and I have mine and clearly we aren't going to agree on this so no point in addressing it any more.
Gambling is illegal at Bushwood… and I never slice.
Alright, what about all the 4A Team members and fans? That game is starting at least a half hour late and conditions are not going to be great for when they go to head home after the 4A game.
Good point and I thought about that as well. The winter storm warning starts at midnight down there and 3 AM in the suburbs so should be enough time before the snow is projected to really come down.
I'll bet the officials are talking about cancelling the 4A game right now....
Anybody have a 4A game feed going yet? Mine is still all commercials.
The decision to cancel the games was actually pushed forward from the Roxanna group….
