Weather forecast no bueno. Storms starting at 245. Cells already forming

Looks like more of an issue for the elimination game. They may get some lightning delays. Hopefully it just turns into delays and at the worst just pushes back TCU-NCSU start time, making it a late night for TCU-NCSU.

Seems stupid that they didn't try to schedule the Texas games as early as possible so that they could delay if necessary.

There are no storms anywhere [ What the heck? ] are you talking about? Small amounts of rain moving through right now.

 

[Brog]

Predicting rain in Texas: either a fool or a newcomer.

The weather professionals are missing this stuff every day!  That storm that came through last night/early this morning wasn't forecast to be anywhere near that severe.  With these fronts meeting in our area - well, it is just a guess.
 
We'll make our minds up around 1600-1630.  Not looking good right now; the first game is going to be somewhat wet...but it's lightning that will screw this up.

North Carolina State website lists TV for tonight's game as ESPNU.
ESPN lists scheduled games as "TBA." Anybody have better information?

 

[Ron Swanson]

I've heard ESPNU picked it up as well

 

[bscttyb]

We are all clear. Hopefully the rain is over for at least a week.

 

[TCUdirtbag]

Bases Loaded is moving to ESPN2 at 7 CT, so it's possible our game is on ESPNU.

Edit: The U to 2 switch for Bases Loaded is at 6 CT. Our game doesn't start til 7 CT. So, I imagine they'll pick up a 6 CT first-pitch game.

 

[Deep Purple]

Currently, the forecast calls for only a 5-10% chance or rain tonight.

 

[Stiff Arm Frog]

Does anyone know how much tickets are selling for tonight? Planning on swinging by around 6:00 to pick up a couple.

Funny, this map shows it's raining right where I am -- yet it's partly cloudy and the sun is shining brightly.

SHU vs SB is currently delayed

 

[RollToad]

Looks like it's gonna be a long day for SHU.

SHU vs SB is currently delayed

Out of delay now. 5-0 Stony Brook in bottom 1st. Still batting.
