Rain probability 70% Sunday at game time and dueing game. Should Alleva/Manieri consider DH on Saturday in good weather?

Not sure who makes that call. With Sat game 2 starting at 6:30 it would be hard to play it before. In the past you just end up with a rainout unfortunately.

It's the SEC's decision. Alleva and Mainieri need to ask permission first. If I recall correctly the rule is that they can't make that decision before tomorrow morning. Also if i recall correctly, SEC has authority over ESPN for moving the game in this case because of weather. I think I remember reading that in the TV contract. I could be way off though.

I really hope they don't do this.

I have tickets for Sunday's game and I don't want to miss it.

I can't go to games that often so this is one of my few chances.

If the game gets called on Sunday because of weather delays or travel obligations with LSU gaining momentum, but still trailing, you'll lose it more I promise

9. If weather forecasts on Friday or Saturday morning call for a high occurrence of inclement weather on Sunday, the home team with approval of the visiting team may request permission from the Conference office to play a doubleheader on Saturday. Approval of a prospective Saturday doubleheader would be given no earlier than Saturday morning and shall be limited to circumstances where there is a high likelihood that weather will not permit a game to be played on the final day of the series. This does not apply for possible inclement weather on Friday or Saturday of a weekend series.
