It's time to talk about Iowa State's crowd for the Kansas State game. It's notoriously a brutal weekend for crowds. Another night game stinks. But this is it. This is Iowa State's moment. This fan base needs to turn out & step up to the big boy plate. Big moment.

Tonight's the big night! Come meet Gary Dolphin AND Pat Angerer at Ray's Timeout at 6 PM!

Good news: Some much needed rain is on the way for parts of the area Thursday! The not so good news: With that will come a Marginal, or level 1 of 5 risk for isolated severe storms for parts of E Iowa and NE Missouri Thursday evening. Stay tuned for updates! #iawx #ilwx #mowx

I think this is pretty cool to do - turn the Shelley award winner around with the gathered crowd behind. I've been looking through old IBNA pics and it is fun to see the faces stay the same and some new ones enter in the fold. BTW, congrats @DVickers

I was #grateful to be honored with the Iowa Broadcast News Association @IBNAtweets Jack Shelley Award. It’s considered the highest honor in Iowa broadcast journalism. Thanks to @PaulYeager & Cliff Brockman for the nomination

Wondering about the timing of the upcoming wintry mix? This chart shows precipitation types, timing, and percent chances for several locations in our area. It'll be a messy scenario, with sleet, freezing rain, rain, and even some light snow all possible! #IAwx #ILwx #MOwx

[NWS Quad Cities @NWSQuadCities]

Snow 🙴 wind is on the way! Accums 1-4 inches expected by Friday AM. The snow will be fluffy 🙴 easily blown around by winds gusting to 35 mph leading to reduced visibility 🙴 drifting. This will create hazardous travel. #iawx #ilwx #mowx

@GaryDolphin
Hey -here’s the way I’m watching the Rutgers game. Probably not as good as yours
Nice to say HI today!

Iowa’s K-12 school boards will soon choose officers for 2024. An all-too-frequent violation of the public meetings law occurs then. The board members’ votes can be by paper ballot, but the vote of each board member must be read during the meeting. No secret votes are allowed.

What do you think? Wes Golden to be new Clinton Clinton Community School District Superintendent. Taking over next year.
It’s on the Monday agenda.

[325 AM] - Anyone up with us? You might be shortly in some parts of eastern IA as a line of showers and storms moves across the area. Primary concerns are wind gusts around 45-55 MPH, frequent lightning and heavy rain. #iawx

FAQ:Health? Probably in the best health in many years. Doing fine after 3x cardiac bypass in the summer of 2021 (4/5)

[Dave Vickers @DVickers]

FAQ: Are you going to get another job? Not likely. If I was going to work I would just keep doing what I love and stay on the radio. There may be the occasional and rare fill-in appearances on the radio when a fill-in is needed. (3/5)

[Dave Vickers @DVickers]

FAQ: What are you going to do? – Don’t know yet. Maybe sleep past sunrise. (2/5)

Since starting in the radio broadcast world (1977) 96+% of the time I’ve done the sign-on shift. Today is the last time! I am retiring from full-time radio news world! No long monologue, that’s not my style. Thanks for listening & inviting KROS and me into their lives. (1/5)
