Rain in Durham

[TechCubed]

Weather Channel forecast has been all over the place. It went from 90% chance of rain to 65% at kickoff right now (9:30p on Thursday). Even if the rain moves out by gametime, field will probably have had 24+ hours of rainfall.

i have watched the weather channel, change the forecast from 20 percent rain...to 90 percent rain 15 minutes later for that hour in the hourly forecast LOL. they are getting worse and worse I think.

it will be down pouring...and they will have 65% chance of rain as the "current" conditions...ha.

Wet ball + good opposing pass defense = run the damn ball.

 

[Supersizethatorder-mutt]

At least it will be REAL turf and not that slippery artificial crap at South Bend

Dry ball/wet ball/good/bad opposing defense- answer is still the same: RUN THE DAMN BALL

We (coastal virginia) have a nor'eastern for the next 3 days. Probably 5 inches of rain. Looking at the rain chart for fluke area, it will be raining tomorrow. http://www.accuweather.com/en/weath...florida-south-carolina-to-new-jersey/52553733

So what, we both play in it and we better want it more.

I would expect the real attendance to be about 10-15,000 since last week was reported at 24,000 for NW. It will make the game more like a scrimmage with few fans. Again, we need to want it more and it won't matter.

I'm just east of Durham and it's raining like the ark could float past my dock this morning. The low sitting just offshore is stuck in place by a high pressure area in New England, causing NE wind at or above 25 kts. Expect rain, gusty wind, and slippery footballs this weekend. I will be in Durham, but my wife tells me we are NOT going to sit in weather like this to watch Duke play football. She's an App State grad and Duke hater.

Isn't that what our coach wants to do ? RUN THE DAMN BALL !

Quagmire conditions but some parts here needed this rain.

You'll have your pick of seats. I'll be watching a tablet somewhere in Ohio. Wish I were there! Rain and all. This is a game I have circled in my mind since last year. More than any other ACC game. Literally, I'd like to see us dismember Fluke.

And yes @Stinger90 , need cojones.

This is a must win situation for us. Unlike last year, we are coming in to this game focused.

While this is a good start, the fact that our indoor practice facility does not have full-scale weather effects rooms for specific drills in adverse weather is another example of our failure to embrace technology that is so readily available due to the nature of GT.

Maybe we could get a team manager to see off the fire suppression sprinklers during practice.
That would make things interesting.

Tell her she can wait in the car till it stops raining!!

 

[iceeater1969]

We could use a good old mud bowl about now.
Forget the stupid first 2 games that were a waste of time.
Move past the woulda coulda sholds event at ND.

We are going to get down and dirty.
Lots of pushing and pulling for a few valuable yards will Sharpen our focus to execute the offense with speed and precision and ball security.

 

[orientalnc]

A mud bowl is likely. We have already had 3.3 inches of rain in Oriental today and we're not close to the end. While Durham may have had less than us, it's raining there as well. I hope Duke has the field covered or, at least, a good drainage system.

I will be watching the 2nd half on my phone. My little guy has a flag football game at 2pm. Argh!!!!


You seem to be traveling on weekends a bit. Didn't you say last week you were in Minn.?

They would have just slowed you down! This game is no day for families, it's a time to rage and make right last week and last year!

 

[MidtownJacket]

Brought the fiancé to the game (she's a ME '07 from GT and get her MBA from UNC) so she has double reason to cheer us on. She is even geared up for the rain!

Hope to see a decisive effort from all three phases and a good old fashioned come to Jesus moment or two where we keep the foot on the gas.

We need to win this game like a top 10 team.
