Hearing reports that some schools are considering trying to move Friday games to Thursday due to potential bad weather on Friday

Anyone else hearing this.

It's certainly possible. It's happened a few times here where I stay

Landmass might be getting bad weather.

Lightning is dangerous and even with a monsoon you're going to have a debacle like that one Steelers-Dolphins game.

Dumb.

I don't know what's happened to people when it comes to weather around here.

Fields that aren't turfed will be wrecked for the remainder of the season if they play games in torrential rain. Potential injuries down the line. Not every school has some elite grounds crew and it's up to the coaching staff to maintain it. If you have a grass field I'd sure as hell move the game up a day.

It’s all about the gate if you already have turf

I will say that I was kind of hoping weather would be an equalizer in the game… but oh well

Spread offenses

Teams want ideal field and weather conditions to throw the ball and run the spread

Combined with cutbacks on field maintenance messing up fields during bad weather

At least three schools in the Nola metro we’re planning on doing that

That’s great if you’re the better team… but if not, you should want weather and a field surface more suited toward mucking the game up and negating the opponent’s strength

I feel like we lost a playoff game once when we let the opponent move it to a turf field, when we had to agree to it too and it suited their style of play more than the grass we could have played on

I’ve seen some really good passing teams have an advantage in adverse weather/field conditions

It's mid day Tuesday. You know what the actual weather is going to be Thursday and Friday?

You know the logistics of moving a game at the high school level when it comes to security, referees, busses, cheer/band/all the other shite that goes along with it? Moving it the day before effects a lot of people.
