Game 1 vs the stupid Aggies....

[ScoobaDawg]

I'm here at the game. Watching the radar. Storms are marching steadily east.. The question is when will it lift north.

Well here it comes.... Big gust of wind in front of the storms.50mph winds
Rain delay in effect

[SaintDawg]

Odds we dont play tonight?

[RocketDawg]

On radar, the worst storms are north of College Station, but there's still a good bit of rain left. Probably one good thing about the wind is that it's bringing in cooler air.

[ScoobaDawg]

I feel good. The storms are moving more ENE now and breaks are opening to the sw of college Station.

[craigmid]

I have tickets for Saturday. Maybe a double header.
Tonight doesn't look good.
Storms have about made it to my town - Huntsville, TX.

[biggun]

When will they make an announcement one way or the other????

[biggun]

SEC Network pretty much just said that we are playing tonight, just waiting on one more storm to go through. Guess we will be starting around 8:30 or 9

[craigmid]

Rosebowl tweeted that he heard the delay will be about 2 hours which would put it around 8:30

Dawgpile, I must admit that I like your taste in music. SRV doing the blues is really good.

[ShotgunDawg]

I think rain delays always help the road team.

Destroys fan support for home team and, while the home players are wondering if they can go out tonight, the road team has nothing better to do than play baseball.

And go out after .... ha

[BeardoMSU]

What's the word on playing tonight? Any ETA?

[BeardoMSU]

NM. Just saw Steve's tweet. Will try and play a DH tomorrow.

Dumb decision. There’s a higher chance for rain tomorrow. Looks like we will only get two games in period this weekend.

2 7 inning sat. Oh well.

[biggun]

Still on for tomorrow nights game, right?

[Quaoarsking]

It's incredibly dumb that we can't play on Sunday. Hope this doesn't cost as a shot at an SEC championship.

[MarketingBully]

There’s an 80% chance of rain tomorrow there. Their only chance of getting three games in this weekend was getting one in tonight and two on Saturday.

[Homedawg]

Well it's scheduled..... but the odds aren't good based on forecast.

[Homedawg]

It's incredibly dumb that we can't play on Sunday. Hope this doesn't cost as a shot at an SEC championship.

The reasoning is, right or wrong, that the teams playing fri-sun don't have the option of playing Monday, therefore it would be advantageous to those allowed to play Sunday. That's the reasoning anyway

[Cooterpoot]

Eliminate Thursday series. They’re stupid anyway.

[ScoobaDawg]

Yea, just really sucks they cancelled the game right as the end end of the rain was coming through. the field LOOKED to be in good shape.. but obviously I didn't walk it to know. We got a good amont of rain but the pooling of water in the outfield looked to have drained.

[BeardoMSU]

Would the conference title come down to winning % then, since we'll be short a game played?

[Homedawg]

Tv talks I like their money. And everybody has them so. ....

[ScoobaDawg]

Could.. If we only play 2 and win both and do what we need to win the championship.. it very much comes down to 10ths of a pct point...

[Homedawg]

Yep. That's how it works. Won't matter we aren't catching the leaders. At least not vandy. Their schedule is easy here on out.

[Dawgcap]

Yeah it sucks to promote a sport

[KOdawg1]

We could have a triple header on Saturday**

[MetEdDawg]

I agree and disagree. I think consistency is important for athletes. I also think exposure is great for the game. But forcing 18-22 year old kids to get out of their rhythm, mostly talking starters here, when we already have so many arm issues from pitching, just for some extra tv time, seems a little overboard.

Ginn is the poster child for that right now because of having to move him up. Arm fatigue because he had to come back a day earlier than normal. Go ask NFL guys how much they hate Thursday night games. I get the exposure. But sometimes that comes with a risk and I for one think it might be a bit much.

[ShotgunDawg]

Small & James will pitch tomorrow but the order hasn't been decided yet.

I think it makes more sense to start Small first & set the tone

[MetEdDawg]

I like Small first but more from a bullpen perspective. Small gives us the best chance to not have to use our bullpen and have them ready for the second game.

I would consider pitching him second because it gives us a better chance to take 2 of 3 in the series (If TAMU pitches Doxakis first) and wouldn't be mad if that's what Lemonis decides to do.

No way we play 2 tomorrow. So just throw small.
There's almost 3/4 inch of rain forecasted from 4-6.

If they play tomorrow night I'll be there hopefully but I'm not expecting any baseball tomorrow.

[FriarsPoint]

There?s an 80% chance of rain tomorrow there. Their only chance of getting three games in this weekend was getting one in tonight and two on Saturday.

Which is bullshit. I don?t know if it?s an NCAA rule or SEC rule BUT!, the shit rule about 3 days to get in 3 games from scheduled start day AFTER exams have been taken is being hard headed for the sake of being hard headed.

Ok. But if you're inconveniencing teams by making them play Thursday, at least allow them the fourth day to get all 3 games in. There is no logical reason against doing so.

[Quaoarsking]

The reasoning is, right or wrong, that the teams playing fri-sun don't have the option of playing Monday, therefore it would be advantageous to those allowed to play Sunday. That's the reasoning anyway

They should let Fri-Sun teams have Monday to play too then, especially once final exams are over. Ideally all games should be made up, even if we have to go back later in the season to do it, and at the very least they should be if they affect the final standings.

Also, to avoid schedule having any role in determining the champion, there should be a full 39-game round robin and no divisions. Instead of 4 non-conf weekends and 10 SEC, it could be a 2/12 split, with the 13th series up to the teams to schedule (either midweek or one of the first 2 weeks, whichever they prefer).

This seems like a no brainer. Because if the weather is bad I'm assuming that they will schedule a DH on Saturday which to me would put Plumlee back in line to start. Unless they are just adamant that James is starting no matter what.

[The Federalist Engineer]

I'm being silly - but would the Astros mind some college teams playing in their Dome stadium, they are on the road this week. That would be cool.

The Bush family seem to be A&M fans, they could make it happen
