Weather you like it or not....

I'm looking outside and it's pouring. There are squirrels doing the backstroke in the gutters on the street. I think I just saw a pigeon flying by with a snorkle.

With that said, what does the weather do to tomorrow's game? I gather it's supposed to storm through tomorrow, maybe into Sunday. I'd think that the weather would have more of a negative effect on LaTech's passing game than on our running game, but with one qualification: WE NEED TO HOLD ON TO THE DAMN BALL.

And looking at our offensive line, I'd think that especially in the rain, we'll have more success running to the left than to the right. RT Sterling Harris is enormous, but he seems to play more of a finesse game. LT Judson Davis, on the other hand, looks like more of a brawler, someone who might relish the chance to get dirty and overpower a guy. And LG Brad Keischnick looks like a guy who'd be comfortable in a foxhole someplace. He seems like the kind of guy who will be much more at home in a Ford Stadium mudbath than he is on some pristene artificial turf field someplace. Same with Reindl and Chandler at center. I think it's too early to tell with RGs Townsend Hargis and Grant Eidson - haven't seen enough of them.

The guy on the radio said the worst of the storms should be gone by morning. He said the afternoon will have some scattered showers, but that's about it.

Then again, when's the last time the weatherman got his prediction right? I think that means we can count on heavy snow falling from clear, sunny skies...

That'd be GREAT. Enought rain to make the ball wet, but not enough to drown us fans!

More than anything, I hope it rains on LA Tech's parade.
