For those who follow Iowa High School football closely, keep your eyes on the news. If what I was just told is accurate, there will be a playoff team prominently impacted by COVID.

Sorry . . . can't do it. Keep your eyes on the news. If I receive "tower clearance," I'll be happy to post it here.

But not unexpected!!!!!That is disappointing.
But not unexpected!!!!!
This time, I'm disappointed to be right.
All I get from this is an "I told you so". I fully expect to not be watching my grandkids playing ball this winter. Either by a cancelled season or no spectators allowed. You saying I'm happy couldn't be farther from the truth.It is unexpected. And, you’re not disappointed.
This news makes you very happy, and we all know it.

Nope. I just knew there were going to be some problems given the weak response from the Gov's office.You gleefully report news like this whenever you possibly can. You enjoy it. That is clear.

As I said, I fully expect to miss an entire winter of high school basketball for my two oldest GKs.
You're still wrong. I live to watch my grandkids and their activities.You aren’t really going to miss it. Your grandkids will miss it. A big part of their young lives.
And you will cheerfully come here to tell everyone about it.
Football players attending a Halloween party knowing they're waist deep in the playoffs with the talent to run the table is pretty unexpected. (Not to mention, quite stupid and probably selfish)But not unexpected!!!!!

The Valley kids did that? There are multiple ways to catch the virus. So, it indeed, can be "not unexpected".Football players attending a Halloween party knowing they're waist deep in the playoffs with the talent to run the table is pretty unexpected.

Also doesn't mean we shouldn't have had a football season. No matter how many times you say it.The Valley kids did that? There are multiple ways to catch the virus. So, it indeed, can be "not unexpected".
But we're dealing with kids that sometimes make dumb decisions. Doesn't change the end result.
If you have info to share, share it. If not, stop acting like you know where to find the holy grail. You're wasting bandwidth and preventing anonymous people from arguing w/ other anonymous over things we have no control over, nor really matter in our daily lives.If what truly led up to the cancellation of the game were to come to light, certain people would be embarrassed and humiliated. And I’m not just referring to high school students.
Measures were put in place so that high school sports could proceed. Those measures assumed that people would act as they were supposed to act and be transparent, upfront and honest. Too bad it didn’t play out that way. Kids are paying the price ....
I like the cut of your jibIf you have info to share, share it. If not, stop acting like you know where to find the holy grail. You're wasting bandwidth and preventing anonymous people from arguing w/ other anonymous over things we have no control over, nor really matter in our daily lives.

UNI is playing football? Who knew.

Also, tickets should go to the schools participating first.
They changed that policy less than 24 hours after the original announcement. The lack of focus and awarenesss is astounding.
My son and I are now not going because of this change. Figured there would be plenty of tickets, went in to purchase, it said sales suspended. When it resumed there were no tickets left.They changed that policy less than 24 hours after the original announcement. The lack of focus and awarenesss is astounding.
The only reason the Gov's office didn't include the football playoffs in their original restrictions was the State wanted their $$$ from ticket sales since it's a bigger event. Then, they probably got negative feedback and had to cave to the present policy. The IHSAA is a money grabbing entity, they just got pushback and had to pull back.My son and I are now not going because of this change.

Yeah, I understand all that and it's not a big deal in the big picture but just disappointed.The only reason the Gov's office didn't include the football playoffs in their original restrictions was the State wanted their $$$ from ticket sales since it's a bigger event.

I'm sorry you and your son will miss the event.
They should broadcast these games for free online since attendance will be so restricted.
They will sell all the available tickets anyway, so put the game online for free.
Not sure what they plan to do with the broadcast.
I'm OK with streaming these games, but why free?..
Because people couldn't go even if they wanted to, through no fault of their own.
With the pandemic surging, offering the game for free online offers a safe and responsible way to allow people to watch the game. Which gets more eyes on the games and is good overall for the IHSAA.
Well, I don't know, but it appears to be free. So, you can let them know if you are upset.
It’s been free online for several years. And the finals will be carried on some TV stations.Well, I don't know, but it appears to be free. So, you can let them know if you are upset.
They've done this for several years - semis & finalsThey should broadcast these games for free online since attendance will be so restricted.
