Games moved to Thursday this week due to impending weather

[Indian]

Not just rain but waiting an hour or two through potential lightning delays, if games can be played at all.

I'd rather they had moved the games up.  Especially if a homecoming game,  senior night or a region game.  Just makes better sense.  

Sure high school football is for Friday nights. But high school football has now outgrown just 1 night a week.

Oh dear are they expecting lightning tomorrow night or just rain? I hope we get to play the game. Does anyone know what the options would be if they could not? This is a region game. What are the rules? Everyone have a nice day.

I’d rather it was Friday. I won’t be able to make that long haul tonight. 

I dont think the players or die hard fans care about the rain. Now the money grabbers at the gate.....all about sales

I have stood in standing water in a constant downpour years ago watching a 2-8 team play  

I will stay on low road......sissy

Grider should have made them an offer they couldn't refuse.  Play it at Beene Stadium tonight or else.

Been there done that!  I was on top of Oakland's pressbox during a monsoon in the Semi-finals last year against Maryville.  Me and my broadcast partner toted a canopy and all our equipment up a ladder to the roof.  Hazards of the trade.

Yeah, I've been in press boxes that moved when the wind blew, ones where the tables were covered in bird guano, on scissor lifts in the rain,  one place where the roof I was on was about to cave in, and in the middle of the crowd during a windy playoff game. As bad as some of those were, my dad filmed from places that were a whole lot worse.

Most of the time I did color for a radio station, we weren't linked to anyone team.   We would freelance and travel anywhere (kind of like my show does now).  The biggest issue with that is we often didn't have a place in the pressbox which is typically reserved for home station and any team "acknowledged" as the away teams station.   You'd be surprised as some of the places we've had to setup.  Bleacher's, top of pressbox, we even called one from an endzone once (now that was an adventure)...lol

All evidence has been discarded.   I actually did Play by play for a few games back in 2013-14, SouthTowner.   I brought Pirate Mike up in the pressbox with me.
