No.
unpredictable in the spring and fall
You are the world, we are the USA, don't mess with us and we won't blow your $hit away.
Friday looking great, Saturday pretty good as well, particularly as the afternoon and evening go on. Plenty of time to do two on Saturday even keeping the first start at 2 PM for tv purposes. Sunday not looking too promising.

That would have no bearing on whether or not we play a DH.
Gig 'Em
I understand clearing the stadium between games. But that could be a quick check to make sure everyone's out. And then open the gates back up. Last weekend was a clustermess.
Here's a concept.
It can rain all it wants on mondays and Wednesday. But Tuesday, Thursday-Sunday need to be rain free
Hear me weather gods!!!

Ideally they would have the second game start at 7 to give them more time to get people out and then back in.
After Tuesday.'s debauckle...

It's a 45 minute gap between the end of the first game and the second game it's not really about times for the second game. Depends on when first game ends.
I avoid temptation unless I can’t resist it.

I'm going to amend my previous answer because it appears to me that they may have revised the rule. Here's what the SEC commissioner's regulations say regarding Sunday start times:
Quote:
In the event of a rain-delay prior to the beginning of play on Sunday, the game must begin at least two
hours and thirty minutes prior to the visiting team's scheduled departure time from the field (if
necessary), otherwise, no game may start after 10:00 p.m. local time or resume after midnight local time.
No games will be continued to Monday
So, since the sips will be busing back to Austin, it might be possible to play much later on Sunday than you would if, say, we were playing Georgia and they had a charter flight schedule for 7 p.m. At least that the way I'm reading the revised rule.
After losing the first two games, the sips will magically charter a flight back to sipland. Thus incurring the 2.5 hour rule.

Hope you are pulling for the good guys...
My FTAB fish is the 24th Aggie in my family back to 1927, I only pull one direction! I can cheer for my nephew's individual success without supporting his team as a whole!
This is amazing! Wow

We're saying they need a longer gap.

A longer gap might help, but what they really need to do is open the gates sooner. 15 minutes ought to be long enough to clear the park and open the gates. It was closer to 30 last time. No excuse for that. Don't waste time picking up trash and doing anything else. Just clear the stands, then open the gates and start scanning. If people are not moving fast enough, I've got some cattle herding experience and would be happy for an excuse to use a hotshot.

I could go for this. It was absolutely gorgeous Sunday through today here.

He talked about the game being at 7 PM but the first game might not be over in time for that. That's all I was speaking to.

That is what they need to do but they've shown that they won't. I have no idea why it took so long to open the gates back up last weekend. What they also could do is open up the gate down the right field line and scan tickets there as well. (Down the left field line, too, whenever it's open again after construction.)

Fair, but what I was getting at was a 2 start is usually done around 5 so I was just throwing 7 out as a potential start time. All I was getting at was give more time like maybe an hour 15.

The parents only stay for five innings. They won't care.
Whoever in the AD keeps asking that we schedule a home series for parent's weekend needs to be fired.
Isn't parents weekend scheduled well in advance and the SEC dictates the series schedules?
Also, it is Chilifest weekend and a large track meet weekend. Too much for one weekend! But, some of it isn't in A&M's control.
Schools can request to play at home, or not play at home, certain weekends. That doesn't mean the request will be granted, but the number of times we have played on parents weekend (I can only think of a couple of times in recent memory where we haven't) tells me that the AD consistently requests a home series that weekend. Maybe that's being directed from elsewhere, but it's stupid.
For baseball player parents and season ticket holders from out of town, it's a real hardship because hotels are scarce and expensive.
As a season ticket holder that lives out of town, has a junior getting her ring, a FTAB fish event on Saturday morning and a nephew that plays baseball for the horns, this weekend is going to be painfully amazing. We ended up getting an Airbnb with my t-sip in laws to avoid the drive back and forth gem Houston.
Update?
haha classic. POTD

I think it looks ok starting at 1:00. Pretty strong chance of rain at noon though. Push the start time to 2:00 and we get it in I think.
Apparently every weather app I check says something different for today. Oh well, will get wet… or stay dry… either way BTHOtu!AggieBB said:tjack16 said:

Yeah seems to always be the case. My only concern is burning moss since I assume he is starting.
I would think about giving Moss an opener, and don't bring him in until we know the weather has passed.AggieBB said:Dr. Horrible said:AggieBB said:tjack16 said:
