The place: Iowa City, Iowa.

The date: Nov. 20, 2010.

The ocassion: The undefeated Iowa Hawkeyes college football team and their black and gold dressed crowd are putting their 10-0 record on the line against the visiting 10-0 Ohio State Buckeyes who are wearing their traditional scarlet and grey.

The forcast projects very cold weather and even a healthy amount of snow.

The snow begins to fall right before kickoff, but to the crowd's shock it is not the softly falling white flakes they've seen their entire lives, it's Buckeye red snowflakes beginning to coat Kinnick Stadium and its fans.

Those dastardly Buckeye fans have seeded the clouds above Iowa City with red dye # 40 and now the crowd and field are sporting their own home colors!

Tune in next week to see who won the battle in the scarlet snow.

(It may seem far fetched, but something like this actually happened in Buffalo, NY in Jan., 2010).

[Dentworth], Go Navy from me, too!

I actually really like the triple option. I didn't much like it about a year ago, though.

-Go Navy! Beat Notre Dame again! Beat Army, too (my grandpa was Navy - the other was Army, but if they had Air Force back then, he'd've been AF)

Stoopid badgers. We don't need no stinkin badgers. The snowstorm came three or four weeks. Later. Than I envisioned.

I dunno, Zimmy. Water tends to exclude solutes as it freezes. You might get white snow followed by pink rain.

Still infinitely better than a golden shower, Shirley ?
