Rain gives our boys an advantage here.

Whorn will still do their tried and true screen pass strategy, but they're going to be forced to attempt more runs. Defense will have to watch out while still putting the pedal to the metal on pancaking Arch

Just got back from next week in the DeLorean.

Rained out and cancelled. A&M stuck at 11-0. Texas at 8-3 snuck into the playoffs.

Bama and Georgia leapfrog Aggies into SEC CG. Texas jumps up to #4 spot. Ags slide to #7.

That artificial turf is going to be real soggy.

Reality is rain favors the underdog, because it's a wildcard.

don't worry about it. rain almost always dissipates before actually getting to the austin metro.

Indeed. Some need to read up on the Austin Rain Dome.

It basically never rains in Austin. I wouldn't worry about it.

Rain. Almost always favors the team with the better OLine and run game…

Also adds a broken-play element…

Forecast is cloudy with "possible showers". It may be wet but it doesn't look like it will be like the '97 game. I was at that game and it absolutely poured the entire time.

If you've ever played on wet turf, it's far worse than wet grass. Slips, injuries, etc. it sucks.

Of course it's gonna rain. And it will cost us a game we should win

I was there as well, took my dad and sat in the horseshoe. We were absolutely soaked to the bone.

If it doesn't rain, rest assured that teasip will water down their field, disable the A/C in visiting locker room, and place the Aggie Band in the top deck.

Any level of pettiness or cheating should not be overlooked.

EXCEPT FOR HALLOWEEN; there was a time when I lived there that every Halloween turned into a real turd floater, flooding the usual places (Onion Creek, Shoal, etc).

When it rains at DKR, I imagine the hippies smelling like wet dog.

But it really doesn't look like rain at this time. There's a 30% chance of showers "Friday Night," but that's focused between midnight and Saturday dawn.

The rain rolled into Austin like it knew exactly what kind of night it was about to witness. Not a soft drizzle a full-on, sky-cracking downpour, the kind that washes the burnt-orange right off the concrete.

Texas fans showed up loud, cocky, and convinced this was their year.
Then the clouds opened, and suddenly the only thing drowning was their hope.
While they huddled under ponchos and prayed for the rain to save them, the Aggies went to work. Every drop that hit the field felt like a warning shot we're here, and we're not leaving quietly. The slick turf didn't slow us; it made us sharper. Built for the mud, built for the fight, built for nights exactly like this.

In their own city, in their own stadium, the storm didn't pick a side.
It picked a winner.

And as Texas slipped, stalled, and watched their "home-field advantage" wash down the drains of Austin, the Aggies pushed harder, hit louder, and left no doubt.

By the time the final whistle cut through the rain, all anyone could hear was the Aggie War Hymn echoing through a soaked, stunned Austin.

The rain didn't save them.
The rain didn't stop us.
The rain crowned us in their house.

The Aggies have played several games that were impacted by rain or a wet field in some way.

We've got plenty of experience with those conditions.

It's a 35% chance. That is not the forecast calling for rain.

Anything could happen, but still...
