I've always felt this way too but thought about it in terms of man bc the wr knows where he is going and the defense does not and is this more susceptible to poor footing. Not as much against zone though imo bc the defender knows where he will be and is just waiting for receivers with their eyes in the backfield.

I'll take the silence to mean the little fella complaining about attendance won't be attending.

Well I've been to every game but 1 (and my tickets were used by family then) and I've complained about it. Not so much vs TN State. But not being able to sell out vs KY, LSU, NC State, and Mississippi tells me we don't want to win badly enough as a collective fan base to show up and affect games.

Yep! While it comes with the disadvantages of having a wet ball, the footing in knowing where you're going vs reacting is huge plus bull rushing defensive linemen and fast edge rushers can't push through as hard or hit the hard corners as effectively, and also pass blocking is easier in the rain than run blocking because for run blocking you can't get the traction you need to push folks out of the way.
WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING?!?

Well, you have every right to complain then. But someone who never attends in person does not.

You shouldn't judge any fanbase on 2021 attendance due to the pandemic. Everybody is playing in front of some empty seats.

Statistically this is untrue.

Yep. It could help the wr's because they know what routes they are going to run, but catching, throwing and hanging on to a wet ball? Nope

I am pretty involved with a HS team that used to sling it a lot. They always seemed to win bigger when it was raining. Everybody used say it would slow them down and other teams always wanted to play them in the rain. It never helped. Since they went more to a running game the rain really slows them down. I don't have any stats though, just perception over a long time closely watching.

Really think this is all being overthought. we are talking about maybe a 1/10 of an inch on the day and some sprinkles during the game (less than .05").
