Fridan Night Rain

What is the deal with all of these teams moving there games up to Thursday night because the forecast is for RAIN on Friday night? Why? What for?

Is it because the school administrators are worried about losing money? Here is SE TN there is a greater chance of rain on Thursday evening then on Friday asper the National Weather Service. The updated forecast calls for 100% chance of rain on Thursday night compared to 40% on Friday.

I cant stand Thursday night high school football. It messes up the rest of the week! Thursday night is college / NFL football....then Friday night is high school....Saturday is college....Sunday is the NFL then Monday night is JV and freshman plus NFL.

FRIDAY is the day the Lord set aside for high school football.  This is also the 11th commandment that Moses brought fourth for all to live by.

I was wondering if games were being moved up to Thursday so one can get a glimpse at a potential upcoming playoff opponent the following night.  Using the weather as an excuse to do so. 

Plus playing a day earlier in the rain might save some wear and tear on an already soaked field. Gives it an extra day before it's played on again.  Who knows?

Could just be a chess match among coaches to see who flinches.

I can see where schools with natural grass might want to move it up, but not teams with the new turf. I think this morning the weather services were calling for the rain to come in late Thursday night thru Friday late afternoon. Might set up a grass field for a mud bowl if played on Friday night.

I'm from Illinois.We play in monsoons, ice and snow.Cheerleaders cheer with skirts in these conditions while just minor rain cancels a game here and girls wear sweats in 65 degree weather.Who was it?Cleveland I think who cancelled a game to start the season because of a forecast of Thunderstorms on Saturday which did NOT happen.Cookeville did that last week and it didn't even do anything on a Friday.All schools in this state should get domed stadiums and turf fields then.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
