No school wants to be the one who has a bus accident because of rain when you could have just moved the game. Do volleyball and basketball games get moved for same reason? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot more moving parts for a football game than a basketball or volleyball game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornetSenior Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 As a smaller Lineman that reiled on technique and footwork, I hated the mud. A lot of Mud would turn the game into a brawl since no one has good footing. The rain is fine, mud on horrible grass fields sucks. It already rained this week, plus there it is has chance to rain all day Friday and into Saturday morning. Chance for Thunderstorms also which would delay or postpone games.

They usually get moved for predicted ice on the roads. I agree that unless there is lightning in the area games should be played in the weather conditions that exist...I wouldn't agree to move the game unless it benefited me in some way...passing game, more speed, etc., but would move it in a heartbeat if it helped us win.

Mavchamp Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 Didn't we see something like this happen with Ennis and Lufkin a few years back? Game was delayed because of severe weather.... and the game ended up being decided on a coin flip. I know hurricanes have moved games around...... to avoid cancellations. There have been games moved to Saturdays. I don't see the big deal. No reason to sit out lightning delays for hours on end..... Just move it..... simple solution to keep fans and players safe. Having been caught out in a severe thunderstorm for a football game before...it aint fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see a chance to get the game in, especially this close to the post season, get it done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you’re scheduled to play on a grass field and you’re looking at a possible playoff run, you really want to do everything you can to limit risk of injury. Moving it up a day accomplishes that by eliminating the sloppy surface. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, there were some playoff games in and around the metroplex that got moved to Monday in 2013 due to the incredible ice storm that wreaked havoc in DFW. I got stuck in in Gainesville, TX due to I-35 being closed on my way home from a job in Stillwater, OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
