Seriously? I didn't think Beaumont got hit that hard? WTF

[Cerebus]

It's going to be hard to get to six wins without this game.

Or if we start the season with a bye and play 12 straight games.

Not yet.
It's   S  L  O  W  L  Y   moving that way though.  By Thursday, it'll likely be dumping the same amount of water Houston is getting now on them.

 

EDIT:  It's actually really starting in on them today.

No I have been looking forward to this for weeks. I'll be pretty bummed if it's postponed but I understand why.

Not crazy about giving up the bye week, especially the week before UTSA, but at least rescheduling is viable instead of outright losing the game.  We also lose a game experience before SMU.  

Dammit.  Just can't catch a break, can we?

If we're playing the game, the Lamar staff and team will need to leave the area today to get this game in.

It will almost be out of Louisiana by Thursday. By tomorrow afternoon it should be east of that area.

Beaumont had already gotten over 10 inches of rain before today iirc

[UNTLifer]

Based on this track, they may not get much more

If WB says that the Lamar admin is saying it should go on, then it (likely) will.. 

Im assuming if Lamar backs out of the game then they don't get a check or they would have to refund it.. 

my guess is, the Lamar HC is trying to get his admin to move the game back since the lack of practice time and everything.. he doesn't likely want to get destroyed and have that put onto him.

He's most likely getting destroyed anyway. No need to delay the inevitable.

Remember how the HC sounded during that interview from earlier this week/end of last week? He all but said "we suck and are not ready".

Agreed, but at least now he can say in interviews that he tried to prevent it and that UNT/Lamar admin forced his hand, instead of just alone blaming it on weather/practice/talent difference

Well Isnt it the Coaches fault if the kids arent ready? I know there could be a laundry list of reasons but this rain just started last Friday/Saturday. Distractions, Yes

I just can't bring myself to say this in front of Lamar.

I would like to agree its the coaches fault since its the first game and they have known about Harvey for a week or 2 now.. 

But again, I'm assuming the HC knows it will be played but this is his way of having a built up excess already for it they get steamrolled...

UTSA v Houston was just called.
