Navy Game Weather

60% chance of scattered thunderstorms.

No more weather delays please!

nice....now the weather shows a high of only 82 on Saturday so that should mean most of the Navy game will be played in the 70's.

The hope is for late afternoon storms to build. Breakfast on the 'vard and the game should be decent weather.

yes lets hope so....temp forecast keeps getting better, but rain chance seems to be increasing.

65% chance of rain around 8AM.....56% chance of rain near kickoff time

Now that they have added the word "thunderstorm" lets pray for no delays
if there is another 90 minute lightning delay I am headed straight to Milos

The high humidity...could make it seem like a steam bath.

weather must be serious....just got this Tiff Treats cancellation due to weather

A ton of Friday night high school games are being moved to Thursday.
I am hopeful we don't have to deal with another weather delay on Saturday.

if it's raining I wonder if they can/will do the pre-game fly-over? I enjoy that.

[SmooBoy]

I think it's gonna rain.

We are doomed.

Yes, the weather looks like it is going to be a disaster.

If it rains, Advantage Navy

I think rain (with no wind) favors us. We run the ball straight ahead and throw short passes. Navy relies on speed and a lot of ball handling with fakes, pitches and misdirection. Lots of chances for the ball on the ground. If it is a steady rain, which is what I read for game time, I think we can do well.

but mrydel doesn't Navy play in this weather often?
of course this year we do too....lol

the key distinction is wet ball because that means its raining. Just wet conditions on a good turf like Ford is going to be better for a team with better athletes. But Navy has one of the best athletes in the Country who will touch the ball on about 95% of their plays-who says he has to pitch the ball-he rarely does. See TCU game where they kicked our butts every time rain stopped and field dried out. Wet ball/rain makes it very difficult to pass/catch as neither SMU/TCU could complete a pass over about 8 yards until it dried out a bit.
