Stop The Rain Dance!

[meangreenbob]

I know we need rain but it will really hurt our attendance this weekend. I really believe that we would get about 25,000 if the rain will just hold off.

Saturday

A thunderstorm possible Low: 68 °F High: 88 °F

Wind Gusts: 16 mph

Thunderstorm Probability: 35%

I'll take that high of 88

[BIG DAWG]

I hear you brotha...NO RAIN on SATURDAY...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SUMG]

Bob, I hear ya. But, I think we'll be fine. It might rain on Saturday morning.....and be fine....way before game time or tailgating time.

Anyway, I remember 1994.....when 20,000+ were in the stands, putting up with the rain in the famous "See ya later McNeese State" game. If OUR fans want to be there.....they will be there.....just like fans all over the country who put up with various kinds of weather.

[GreenStreet]

With it being the first home game, rain or shine we will be fine. I didnt just buy a tailgating tent to block the sun on a hot day.

Saturday

A thunderstorm possible Low: 68 °F High: 88 °F

Wind Gusts: 16 mph

Thunderstorm Probability: 35%

I'll take that high of 88

Last weekend they were predicting 60% rain for Sept 12, then 40%, now only 35%.....

Is it bad that I HOPE it rains Saturday morning in the hopes my daughter's soccer game gets canceled? LOL I'm a terrible soccer mom....

It would be nice to cool down the day and have a nice mid to upper 70's for tailgating. Regardless we will be there rain or no rain.

I'm surprised, that with all the expertise in weather and climate on this board, any of you take a four-day weather forecast all that seriously. At that North Texas Geography Department, over thirty years ago, they taught us that any more than 3 days was just a guess; it hasn't improved. Just for example, yesterday, rain was forecast for today and tomorrow, then removed by this morning. If they can't forecast 1 or 2 days out any better, why worry about 4. Trying to keep your lawn alive? Honestly, keep watering.

I remember the 1998 Nevada game where it downpoured the whole game and the game a few years ago with the downpour in the second half. As long as it doesnt rain in the afternoon, we'll be fine.

That is soooooo very bad!!! I have three games to referee Saturday morning...where does your daughter play? I hope for NO RAIN for either soccer or UNT Football. You know, if it gets rained out it will probably be rescheduled. You aren't getting out of anything!

Anyone remember the game against Southern Miss on Oct 24, 1981 at Fouts? I call it the "Flood Bowl". It was raining so hard that day that Denton cable's weather channel "rain gauge" was ticking off 1/100th of an inch every second. There was a rumor that a player almost drowned with all the standing water on the field.

At the stadium mixer in Houston last month, I asked RV whether he was in that game, but apparently he had graduated from USM the year before.

Never mind the score, that was the Bob Tyler year...

I was sent pictures of snow last winter from Vegas

[NM Green]

I think we get more snow than rain a year. We are up to a whopping 1.2 inches for the year!

Yet bring on another golf course - we can steal water from Reno and Utah:)

Our neighbors love us!

Viva Las Vegas!

The high of 83 is nice though.

[oldguystudent]

So are all of you implying that the sky may indeed be literally falling?

The WKU 2 years ago was not only wet, but it sure was cold... Nothing a few beers after the game couldn't fix!
