It's something statistical that Cohen doesn't want to let out.
Although I did look at the 5 day forecast and there is some rain in the forecast for this weekend.

I'll explain to my wife when I have to take a vacation day for a ball game when it's unavoidable but I'm not doing it when it is avoidable. I'm not taking a vacation day when the game could have been played later. And I damn sure don't want to see any posts about the crowd not being big enough.

Agreed. We damn sure better capitalize.

That or he thinks playing in the heat will sway SEMO's coach to rest his ace or force his tired ace to pitch in the heat.
This wreaks of some kind of gamesmanship. There is no way Scott would agree to move this without it being a darn good reason- and moving the game to help our team on the field would be a rare exception where he would go along with it.
Whatever it is- it better work like you said.

No doubt this is a "Cohen found some random stat" moment. Ha
-SEMO has a bad record during day games?
-SEMO isn't going to adjust to the hot temps like we're used to?
-We shit our pants during our last HUGE night home game SBW? Lol
Who knows. It's not good for fans wanting to take only a half day...but let's be serious, most people weren't working all day & then racing over to the game, so this shouldn't be a huge deal. If you're going, you're probably taking the whole day off.
Cohen can be such a random dude. All you can do is laugh at this point

I'm not laughing when I feel like it slightly levels the playing field.

Bonner just tweeted it was to help out CSF on travel.
Hopefully he jests or was given bad intel.

I hope somebody is ****ing with Bonner.
Why would we help them out? Get your ass down here if you have to leave tonight on a bus. You want comfort, win more games and host your own Regional. Otherwise get your ass down here or forfeit

All chairbacks are sold and at this point they are only selling all game general admission packages so the school gets the money for every seat whether it's occupied or not. It's a pretty shitty thing to do to the best fans in the world but it's all about money now so most of us lowly working class peons don't matter. I ordered my general admission tickets early just so I'd know I had them so they got my money even though I won't be at the game Friday. I may get a chance to catch the Cal St Fullerton - La Tech game though and I'm real excited about that.

Well, Cohen is The Meddler. Guess he has to even meddle with starting times now. Of course, on the bright side, this will take some of the pressure off our players because there will be less of our fans in the stands.***

Yeah that ain't true. CSF is not flying across the country and playing a regional game the same day.
Unless they are dumb.

I hope that's not true. not our job to get an opponet to the ****ing site on time. let's bend over backward to help a team be prepared... jeez.
and to another point friday wouldnt have been huge crowd prolly but now it'll be 1/3 of what it woulda been. and the rest can't even watch. just a full **** up imo
Do I not look like a pothouse? Six foot down the bar. Go on, jog on, walk on, goodbye, bon voyage, **** off.

If it helps us win, we fans should be behind it. I doubt this is a money grab. I think the money goes to the NCAA anyway.

It's disappointing, but it's just one game. We've got a whole weekend of baseball. The reason doesn't matter so much. It's the schedule at this point.

If you've ever spent any time in Cape Girardeau, MO - or anywhere near there - you know this isn't true. That area is miserable like the Delta once it quits snowing in the spring.

Joe Dier says it's to guarantee 24 hours of rest, win or lose. This is just typical Cohen trying to find some minuscule advantage, even if it alienates the fan base. You know it has to be him because we released the schedule that had us playing late. I imagine Stricklin is not looking forward to today.
Edited to add: Also, it will probably be an average of 15 degrees hotter in the early game, which would cancel out any gain of extra rest.

I think it's probably weather related for Saturday's game since rain is expected. Presumably the winner of Fridays' game gets an earlier start on Saturday (I haven't really looked at the schedule). That's about the only reason I can think of. Plus, there are thunderstorms forecast for Friday, so chances are they'd come in after our game.
As far as heat goes ... Missouri is about as hot and humid as Starkville this time of the year, so that shouldn't be a factor. St. Louis is one of the hottest and muggiest cities in the country, so it has to be that way a little farther south. The team most affected by southeastern weather will be Fullerton. It may get hot there, but humidity is next to nothing. They'll feel it. ULL may actually have an advantage from that aspect.

I think that's a great reason, and I don't think it's cancelled out by the heat of the previous day. I notice that LSU is playing early also.

I hate it for the fans who can't get off work and bought tickets. As for as the game time, seems Lsu does it with success and I kinda like the idea of the early game and the rest the players get.
Regardless I hope we roll! I have a feeling Houston will get the nod.
