At Arch Madness you have to really hunt to find the one public drinking fountain at Enterprise Center. It’s usually hidden behind some promotional display.Passing game timing looked better- I’d guess that opponent defenses will be preparing for the corner fade during ISUr week. After seeing how good the WR-pass worked, hated that they showed it in a game like today. Kicking game distance and accuracy helped keep the Birds in good field position today. Nice to get back to football- I feel a lot better than I did last year after Valpo.
I rarely have a game management gripe but why do they have the drinking fountains shut off? Typical hot- sunny Labor Day weekend that could have been even worse. Appreciate the one water bottle refill station down at the south end of the east side. It was a long walk and some folks said it was ice cold until it ran dry during halftime with a big line of fans including yours truly. I have no problem with prohibition on outside food-drink but seems like having drinking fountain water turned off goes a little far on the “concessions to the concessionaire” scale.
The Corn Crib had theirs off all summer, but that was because they were broken: you could reach underneath - which I did - to turn them on, but then they’d stay running until you close the valve again.
Maybe ours were broken, too; I’d be curious to hear the explanation for why they were turned off.
