No way with the rain. I say neither team breaks 30 if there is bad weather. You'll see some turnovers and lots of conservative 3 and out drives and Dale won't be going forint on fourth down near midfield like he does sometimes. Number one objective tomorrow is ball protection. Number two, controlling the clock.

 

Just my opinion...but in today's game, rain doesn't play as much of a factor as it used to. The kids wear gloves that actually become "stickier" when they are wet (to a certain point). The leather on the balls are good enough that they really don't become slippery until they are saturated. They are actually sometimes easier to catch when they are a little wet. They play on turf, so mud and grass are not a factor any longer. The turf, with the right shoes, doesn't cause a loss in traction like mud and slop used to. Now if it's a downpour for the entire game and every ball and every pair of gloves gets completely saturated, then it will have an effect. But the wet having a factor on the game is much more controlled than it has ever been. Unless it rains hard the entire game, the I don't think it effects the game plan too much.

70% chance of rain the whole game. Any ideas on how many tix are left?

 

If it's raining, my wife won't go. If she doesn't and you still need a ticket, let me know and I'll meet you before the game.

That's why I used "bad weather" in my post. Mist won't do anything but a lot will cause a wading pond in the North end zone by the foundation club.

I can remember a couple of great games played at Highlands where rain was an issue...

Awesome offer whack your a good man, I'm trying to talk my wife into going but with the rain it's unknown. Just have to wait and see till this afternoon how things are. Go birds.

High scoring affair IMO. HHS 52 CCh 28

 

If the Birds put up 52 on CCH's defense, I will be very, very impressed.

 

My prediction - Highlands 38 CCH 28

The day has come and it feels like Christmas!! Now all I want for Christmas is a bunch wrapped Colonels by the defense and home playoff games! I am going with HHS 30 - 21

As long as I haven't had anything major placed on my calendar unbeknownst to me by my betrothed, I'll be there. Fo sho.

Aaaaaaand it's happened... :ohbrother:

 

There is a sale on MEN'S pants at Kohls today. If you hurry, maybe you can find some before kickoff. :laugh:

I feel your pain, CWB. Instead of heading to Ft. Thomas tonight, I have to sit through the NCC/Brossart game. PLEASE, PLEASE for those who are there, give updates on BGP so I can at least follow an exciting game on my phone!

Will try to do so...if I can find a way to do it without getting my iPhone soaked.

Is this game being streamed online, or is their an online broadcast of the game.

Channel 12 says there will be scattered showers around this evening, but it will NOT be a washout.
