So, the proactive thing was move the games up

Start at 11am like other regionals are doing today. But the ncaa as usual would rather be reactive than proactive when it comes to the baton rouge regional

judging by forecast, there is better chance of a clean 3 hour block between 2 and 5 than there is between 11 and 2

Regionals? Isn't it just Virginia?
And can you imagine the uproar if they moved the game up at the last minute?

Virginia moved theirs up to 11 AM local time, but I think the others were already scheduled for earlier starts.

aren't those only the regionals in the Eastern time zone?

It isn't/wasn't about the forecast specific to a time. Move the games up, and you give yourself more of a window to get games in, whether it rains at 11, 1, or 3 pm. By moving it up to 11am, even it started downpouring then, you can still probably start close to your regular start time.

This weather is so unpredictable it didn't really matter. We are just a few hours away and there is still a chance that area misses the most of it, and they get games in easily. There is also a chance that they don't play any games at all.
Just have to wait and see. It will all work itself out.
Either way, I'm leaving work at 1 and going cook and open my first beer at around first pitch. The weather will determine whether or not I'm up till 3, drinking 20 beers, or I drink a 12 pack and I'm in bed by 11.

The NCAA Hates LSU!

Everyone always has the right answers here. Why aren't you in charge?
When do you think this crystal ball decision should have been made to start at 11:00? Do you think it would have been the right thing to call the teams at 8:00 this morning and tell them to get their asses out of bed and be at the park at 11:00 instead of 2? What would you have done, since obviously everything the decision makers do is always wrong.
The game times are set. Either it will rain or it won't. If it does, they will wait for it to stop. Barring a phone call from God or the resurrection of Nash Roberts (the old timers and New Orleans folks will get that), there was no exact way to predict if it will rain at 11:00, 1:00, 3:00, or when. So save the "everybody always makes the wrong decision" whining for another time. It's played out.

Playing first, don't care. Now, Rice and SELU fans should be more upset.

Yesterday, when it was obvious the weekend would be littered with scattered showers throughout. That type of forecast should warrant this in most situations, not just when regionals start.

It started pouring at the Box about 30 minutes ago
Posted on 6/3/16 at 12:09 pm to josh336
That would have been the smart thing, but were talking about the NCAA and theyre totally fricking incompetent. This is sto stupid.

Moving up the games is smart when you have days of rain and flooding forecast.

I thought it was LSU, and not hte NCAA, who was opposed to moving the game time up?

If they started at 11am and rain comes like it has, then there is a great chance that you waste Poche, but some of the geniuses on this site don't think that far ahead

is it just me or does poor weather disproportionately affect LSU?

The NCAA makes the decision.

According to this article, LSU was opposed to moving the game times. Maybe the NCAA makes the final decision, but I'm sure strong deference is given to the host team. Otherwise, it would make no sense for the NCAA to allow the time changes in the UVA regional, but not the LSU regional.
