Silsbee vs WOS - Regional Finals

[Tigers94]

Gonna have to Texan Live this, I guess.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I wish I was 25 minutes away from this game like it should be.

Anyways......GO TIGERS!!!

Heavy rains and thunderstorms with lightning starting around 6:00pm at kickoff in that area. PLEASE take care driving and wish they would postpone this game as well. Use common sense and think safety for all and both sides.

 Senseless to not have done it.

Could this game possibly be postponed also?

Against the power of whoever is calling these shots, Mother Nature about to overrule somebody. What a bunch of idiots.

Pray that none of those buses (football, band, drill team, cheerleaders) have nothing go wrong.

The game aside...my hope is that everyone makes the journey there and back safely.

What is bad is people are going to drive all the way out there, to be delayed, delayed, and postponed until tomorrow. Idk who gets the final say, that is a question for the Mods, but they really screwed the pooch on this one.

You can pass in the rain, probably not the long ball,  it short and intermediate routs will be there.  Silsbee has some sure handed receivers and a pretty accurate QB.  That will be the difference.  By now, I'm sold on the Silsbee defense, so I trust then to slow the 'Stang offense down and hold them to significant numbers UNDER their average...

Being able to pass when it's being successfully set up by the run is one thing. Having to pass to move the chains because your ground game is not working is quite a different deal. I believe you and I discussed this very thing at one point earlier this year. Can this QB be effective enough throwing the ball, when the defense knows he's going to throw the ball? Can he carry his team with his arm when the run game isn't there? I didn't think he looked like he would be able to do that earlier in the year. I have not seen him in a while, he may have improved. But, I think this will be the big difference in this game. Can he move the sticks when he doesn't have the run to support him? We're going to see, here, shortly. I DO think he's going to have to have a big night through the air to win. Is he ready?

My question is was it admin or coaches or both that thought, we can still play this game. Most other teams rescheduled or postponed. What makes FRIDAY so special in the minds of these two schools.

Sitting in my hotel room looking out the window at stadium. Pretty steady rainfall right now.

I wonder if the buses are there yet? Looked at the radar and future forecast and conditions are going to get worse.

Holiday Inn or Hampton is better

Not too smart if the coaches and administrators for both schools to play tonight. The stands will be 1/4 of what they should be. Texan Live will make a nice penny from this game I'm sure.

[tennisbc]

Where are all the people who have insight or know people from coaching staff or school admins. What went into this decision to keep the game on Friday night? Someone in the know have any insights? Perhaps just let their poor choice and bad decision speak for themselves.

I did see one explanation, that said if the game wasnt played by tomorrow that we would mot be able to continue in the playoffs. And scheduling it on saturday left no leeway since rain was forecast then as well.  But i have seen many forecast showing rain ending at least by midday tomorrow, most earlier.

[ST413]

I knonw both schools had to agree,  could one have been the main problem to rescheduling?

I'm staying at LaQuinta across the street for free.

If it starts raining any harder I may just sit here in room, order a pizza, drink beer and listen to Tim broadcast the game.

This season marks the 20th anniversary of when Silsbee defeated WO-S in the playoffs. Tigers won 21-20 over then #2 state ranked Mustangs. Game was played in a rain storm. Just saying.

Well, this go around WOS isn’t ranked #2, not undefeated, it isn’t the first round of the playoffs and Silsbee wasn’t held to -17 yards in the first matchup.

Looking forward to a good game!

If they have to play tomorrow, will it be in New Caney?

Good question.

[whsalum]

Until recently I've never heard of delaying a football game because of rain. I understand the lightning delays but you tee it up and play it in the rain.
