Playoffs 2016: Nova

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Literally, I go insane with the layers.

Top half: Long sleeve thermal, short sleeve T, 2 long sleeve T's, a hoodie, a windbreaker, and a huge winter coat.
Bottom half: tighty whities, thermal long johns, pajama pants, jogging pants, flannel lined jeans and coveralls.
Feet: ankle socks, knee high socks, snowmobile socks winter boots

I stay perfectly warm.

Whatever works, go with it. I use normal clothing with a snug, old fashioned snowmobile suit and coat and carry in a larger insulated coveralls in case I need it. (usually not) Typical ice fishing equipment if not using a shelter, which I rarely do. When done, just slip out of the snowmobile suit and ready to go anywhere. (restaurant, bar, ?) You can roll up coveralls smaller than what you might think. Army training, I guess.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I just counted 6,306 unsold tickets on GoJacks. With easy math here, 19,000-6,000 = 13,000 fans in attendance. What am I missing here, for all of you throwing out guesses in the 6-10,000 range?

Prolly had too much wool on your feet. Made your feet sweat. Once they sweat your feet WILL get cold no matter how many pairs of socks you use.

Remember to always use a sweat sock liner to wick away perspiration. Makes a difference to me especially with sweaty feet that get cold.

Go to Wal-Mart and buy the Foot warmers that hunters use. They also make hand and body warmers. They make a big difference.

We bought hand, foot and body warmers last weekend. We are ready for the game. Plus i bought 2 club tickets and told my wife it was her Christmas present. Now we never buy each other anything for Christmas so it was a bonus for her.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I sprung for 7 club level seats. It's history in the making as far as I'm concerned and I'm going to be there if I can. On call the next weekend so this is my chance. The key to staying warm is layers. Use sock liners and yes the warmers for hands and feet are golden. I went to the Viking playoff game last year and my feet only froze after about halftime. That was WAY COLDER. Heck 30 degrees is warm as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

See, I don't even remember EIU being that cold people...a testament to how exciting playoff football is...you don't even feel the weather!

Well, that and I look like this, except blue, not red....

Mommy, I've got to go potty!!

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I was at the EIU game as well and the only place I noticed the cold were my feet. The rest of me was perfectly fine, but apparently doubling up on wool socks wasn't enough.

Even with cold toes, I enjoyed the experience and didn't regret it for a second. Plus I now get to say I saw a future NFL QB play live, even though the Jacks D didn't make him look like one in that game.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Any bar with that package should be able to get it. I think most Buffalo Wild Wings have it.

Ben's Bar in Yankton will have the game.

Just gonna piggyback off this real quick, but for anyone in the Watertown area or passing through, Harry's in uptown always shows Jackrabbit games. They've got great food and 30ish taps, no liquor though, and they are kid friendly. I believe the couple that owns it are both young SDSU alums. I've caught 5 games there this season including last weeks Valley clincher. I assume they will show BB games, but last season I caught the SL Tourney at The Lounge.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I won't be able to make the game this weekend. We will be in Omaha. Is there anyone on this board that could give me recommendations on any bars that would maybe have the game on? I"m not real familiar with the Omaha area bars. It looks like all of the playoff games this week are part of the ESPN College Extra package.
Thanks.

DJ's Dugout in downtown Omaha will have it. They carry everything. I watched NDSU/SDSU there this year.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

I've been to all the late season games and this is the most realistic statement so far. Even 7,000 would surprise me. I'm all for surprises.

Unless we have a huge walk up crowd and student turn out, I think right around 7,000 is the mark.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Agree with all of the above. Reality is we still don't have a large enough hard-core fan base that will be their regardless of the ticket price, weather or vast array of other priorities on Saturday afternoon. If we hit more than 7,000 I will be pleasantly shocked! The apathy for late season/post season games is fairly prevalent in FCS with a few exceptions like in Fargo.

Re: Playoffs 2016: Nova

Ask bars of interest if can stream espn3 games. Found a bar in Baton Rouge with Rocu Stick, and celebrated the Jacks first win in Fargo this season. Stuff the DJD Saturday Jacks fans.
