That wouldn't be a hard search.

Supposedly do not apply as both teams are done with classes for the spring semester
It has big potential to effect post season seeding.
wonder how motivated Alabama is to play

Both teams desperately need to get to 14 regular season wins. Playing tonight gives each 4 tries rather than 3 so it seems very logical both want to play this game if at all possible.
Do gumps even go to school?
"school"
Looks like the last of the rain is moving out now (CLL is Easterwood Field).
Thank you for the considerate response. Our family has had a lot going on over the past couple of months.

I think this game means much more to us than it does Bama. They are sitting at # 14 in the RPI rankings. Win today they move up one and lose they move down one. For us we sit at # 35. Win we could move up to # 31, but lose and we fall to # 38.
Good on Bama for sticking around to play.
Tentatively, First pitch 7:00 pm. Field will be evaluated at 4:00pm. with best interest of student athletes' safety.

I think RPI is good tool and all but that's also leaving a lot to chance and the committee. They probably get in with 13 wins if any team does but 14 is nearly a slam dunk historically.

Not when school is out for the semester.

Bama would be in easily at 13-16 if this game isn't played and they lose two of three to Ole Miss. That would still leave their RPI in the mid 20's. This game has hosting implications for them.
On the other hand we HAVE to get to 14 conference wins to make the tourney.
Bama coaches are whining that the field is not safe… They have to wait till 4pm to evaluate it but they are looking for a way to not have to play it.
Where are you seeing this?
How the heck does gump have an rpi of 14 with the same SEC record as us? That must be a screwy metric.
I hate tu. It's in my blood.
Mid week games, different SEC opponents.
asking again. Where are you hearing or seeing this?Biggame12 said:

That should not make a 20 point difference. Looks like a flawed system to me.

Perfect way to close out the home regular season.trouble said:
Y'all know this means this is going to turn into one of those 5 hours games, right?
I can't imagine they are actually saying that to anyone. Their fans are the ones on Twitter going on about us being scared to play today.

I completely agree
Agree. I really don't like people who post crap on here and have nothing to support their crap.
Ps. I do it all the time. But I'm old.

If anything, it might be on Gump message boards. Those folks are about as connected as the zoo.
If they didn't want to play, this would have been called hours ago

I agree. They could have been on the bus to the airport as soon as we sent out the PR this morning.
They wouldn't have bothered to bring the players to the field if they didn't want to play.
While I agree that Bama has a lot less incentive to play, I'm not sure they get in at 13-16, even with mid-20s RPI. There have been SEC teams left out with similar resumes. But, get to 14-15 (which ought to be easy with Ole Miss having nothing to play for), and they should be a lock. Whereas, at 14-15, we would still be sweating it out come selection day.threeanout said:RED AG 98 said:threeanout said:ftworthag02 said:

I'm not sure about that. If Bama is flying commercial, they are probably doing so tomorrow. If a charter, then they would have some scope to delay (wouldn't have been flying out before 7 p.m. anyway if the game was played as originally scheduled). If they are busing, then they almost certainly were planning to wait until tomorrow.RED AG 98 said:

Do we have a giant wet-vac?
It was raining at the end of yesterday's game. Maybe the dirt part of the infield got too wet and hasn't dried out. The announcers were saying yesterday how well the field drains.

Absent a biblical flood, that field is playable (as in, no standing water anywhere) within 2 hours of whenever the rain stops.mullokmotx said:
