Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa

Just got up and took a walk outside to grab a cup of coffee.

There are snowflakes in the air and it's bitter, bitter bold. So cold that I saw a guy milking a cow and instead of milk, it came out as ice cream (got it from a joke website).

Also pretty windy here on the plains, I'd guess around 15 mph or so.

According to weather.com, the gametime forecast is 38 degrees with a 30 percent chance of snow and up to 25 mph winds. But I'd bet the ole' thermometer would be lucky to up to 38.

It's not the most conducive weather, but it's football, and this is what the Big Ten is all about. We'll see how it affects the spread HD offense, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager on a lot of running and low scoring.

I'm gonna go hop in the shower and try to wake up, I'll check back with yall from the stadium.

The Roster

Travis Johnson Mug

Travis Johnson is a senior majoring in journalism and political science and a football reporter for the Collegian. He's previously covered the wrestling, baseball and women's golf teams. Travis loves to drive fast with the windows down and the rock 'n' roll blaring — even in the winter.

Josh Langenbacher Mug

Josh Langenbacher has written for the Collegian since his junior year and covered the women's track and field team. He's hoping he doesn't have to rescue any colleagues from telephone booths in the HUB — or anywhere else, for that matter.

Andrew Wible Mug

Andrew Wible is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian. He has also covered the men's and women's basketball teams. A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
