How convenient that there is a "weather" delay every time we get runners on base.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Not a good sign if @mr.checkerboards has to point out the positives to you

As before, I’ll be here in the 9th.

Breaking: NCAA controls the weather

No but they control the location of the games.

 

[Drewbydoo]

It isn’t exactly rocket science to be fairly certain that there will be more pop up thunderstorms near the gulf coast in June than there will be in the foothills of the Appalachians. That’s just basic meteorology

Yup. That's why Tampa and Miami play indoors

eta For clarity: those city's MLB teams

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

You want them to decide home field based on the weather forecast almost a week in advance? I could see that going well among Vol fans if they opted against giving UT home field for that reason lol

Exactly. I think we should have hosted but the people saying we should have hosted based off of weather forecasts sound ridiculous.

We would riot in the streets if they came out and said "well UT has a better resume but we're going to let x team host because there's a 50% chance of rain in Knoxville" I doubt they take the 10 day forecast into consideration at all when making these decisions, and I really don't think they should unless it's a hurricane or something.

Kirby just autographed a baseball for a Hattiesburg police officer working the game. Closet Vol fan!

Time for a dinner break! I have a hunch I'll be done before the game resumes.

So we should just ban coastal teams from ever hosting because it might rain? Do you hear yourself?

Any word on restart? What’s the situation, 1 on no outs on the 5th?

Not even close.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

No but they control the location of the games.

And they control when there is a storm? SMH! We could have been up 4-0 at that first one. Be real

 

[stevenrich2003]

Or they could’ve decided home field because WE DESERVED IT!

Yes, we did deserve it.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Thus screws us too. I dount Tony brings Cam back

 

[Drewbydoo]

They can tell us we burn up from climate change in Ten years but can't get a Two Day Forecast correct.......

For starters, "they" are two completely different groups of people.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Saw this outside our beach house. Bad omen. The enemy… They’re taunting me.

Bad stuff is coming in, so restart will probably be around 3 hours from now best case.

The NCAA doesn’t comment on much at all, so there is no reason to think anyone would ever know. But I do will give some on here credit- the weather was discussed on Monday, and the forecast was for the mid south and gulf coast to have a pattern of strong storms. This isn’t a surprise.

So…wouldn’t common sense say to at least consider moving the games up to Friday? Just no common sense.

 

[Orange.]

Tomorrow will be our day! Vols, baby!

I wouldn’t pet that dog.

 

[JCP201]

Nope. Hattiesburg is about to get the weather that delayed Baton Rouge for hours.

I wish they'd just call it till tomorrow. They don't need to be laying down there in the heat on that concrete. Horrible place to play.

 

[greasemachine]

horrible conditions.

Ridiculous. Under metal bleachers.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Tomorrow will be our day! Vols, baby!

This is why fans view us this way… own today. Smh

Players were moved from under the bleachers to the basketball arena, so a while

They aren't. They're headed to hang out in the basketball arena.
