Re: Wet day equals...
Of course, I was kidding, BUT if we really wanted to run some option, he'd be the best guy on the team to do it. Gonna be SCARY at QB next year with AA, PB and JT.

Re: Wet day equals...
This is slightly off topic of the wet day, but this is the most active Hawk related thread I found in the forum.
I have some friends who are doing an ongoing Facebook discussion and this was one of the nuggest posted by a co-worker:
Typical Hawk fan. :no:

If the weather forecast is accurate....
There are gonna be some wild, strange plays in the game that likely will dictate the outcome. Strange bounces, odd TO's, bad footing, etc...etc.
Gonna have to accept it for what it is and hope most of the game oddity caused by weather related mishaps favors the Clones.

Then nothing in Iowa City will be fun unless we win.

Supposed to pour tomorrow morning from what I have seen... should be wild.

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
I don't know why but I'm strangely excited for a torrential downpour during the tailgate. The closest thing I've ever experienced to that was the tornado in Ames (Colorado game I believe) a couple years ago.

Probably because you like to be used, abused and put away wet

I think the bad weather will favor Iowa a little, but I can't help but want to watch a sloppy (field condition) game.

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
It would be different if the tailgate was in Ames and it was downpouring, but in Iowa City, i dont think it will be very entertaining.

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
I would if I was at home. As I'm going, I'm really not looking forward to it.

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
Everybody just please, please don't use the weather as an excuse if we lose. You know Hawk fans will if they lose, so let's be better than that.
Yes the weather will be a factor, but we should play to win regardless of the weather conditions.
EDIT -- I'm not saying we're going to lose. And I'm not saying that you guys who've already posted in this thread will say that the weather was a factor if we do lose. I'm just waiting for the first person who does say it if it happens.

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
It will likely be the first thing out of the losing team's fanbase if it is obvious it impacts the game at all.

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
both teams have to manage the weather, it's not as if it poses a sever disadvantage for one team. I'll agree that Iowa's running game could be more productive in the rain than ours, but weather is weather and all parties will have to deal with it.
In fact this reminds me of the Indians/Yankees bug game last playoffs. I heard yankee fans complaining all day about the bugs, but the Indians had to deal with the same situation.:yes:

Re: If the weather forecast is accurate....
I should clarify that as I kind of contradicted myself there. What I meant to say was...
Yes, the weather will be a factor. I just don't want to hear people complaining about it as the primary reason for a loss if it happens. Like others have said, both teams to have to deal with it.

Should be interesting to say the least.... anyone know where I can find some red garbage bags to use as poncho's???
