re: Weather on Saturday in Columbia

the most rain i have ever seen during a football game..the steps in the stadium had a river of water flowing down them

I was there. The thing I remember is the wind tearing up the down markers and blowing the orange pylons all over the place.

I live in here in South Carolina and local news states 40% and only in the morning.

Whether or not the weather is shite, we need to kick that Cocky arse

It is known that the receivers have the advantage in the rain. They know where they are going the defender does not. Gives the receiver the advantage in the break defenders tend to slip more. Maybe we will have the advantage.

Moonsoon?? its predicted 0.23 inchs may fall .. That's it.

That's not even a Half inch of rain for those Beta males in here who are worried about a little rain. Jezzzz

I was a quarterback throughout high school and my first year in college, then a safety the rest of college.

If the field is just a little wet, there's really no advantage either way. If the field is sloppy, the advantage is to the defensive back.

On a sloppy field, the receiver may know where he's going, but he still can't make a sharp cut. As a defensive back, you can give a little more cushion. When the receiver makes his cut, you can just make a straight break on the ball. You don't have to cut, like the receiver does. Add in the fact that the quarterback likely doesn't have the same zip on the ball, and making up ground is easier for the defensive back.

And they have that long flight. Will they be rested? Do they have the right cleats and rain gear?
