It looks very possible that at least one of this weekend's game will be rained out.
Friday is supposed to be good but Saturday is predicted to be a bust and Sunday is iffy.
How much pressure does that put on LSU's trip to USCe?

Not much if they win the games they get in

You are aware that the conference champion is determined based on winning % and not total number of wins or losses, right?

Rainouts are usually a bad thing for the team with less games played at the end of the year. Simple math...LSU & SC have won 66.7% of their conference games. Odds are in their favor to win each game they play. Missing a game will probably drop you off the lead.

Let's hope for a doubleheader Sunday, if needed.

Just win, baby!

The low is moving faster than expected. Saturday may get washed out but we could get two 7 inning games in Sunday.

None of the games will get rained out.

there could be a chance to get in the game tonight, BR focast says few showers at 7pm, so as long as the field doesn't flood, which probably won't happen, draining is great there, and no lightning, and just lite rain we should get the game in tonight.

Tomorrow there will be thunderstorms all day, doesn't look good but things could possible clear out by night fall.

Sunday isolated in the morning and probably the afternoon, so as long as we can dodge the drops we will probably get all three games in.

If we have one less game played, then that means we need to be one ahead in the loss column. If we go into the USC series with the same number of losses, or one less loss, we will have to win two out of three. With an equal number of games played, if we went into USC with one less loss, we could lose two out of three and still tie for the overall SEC title.
