Bad Weather: The Achilles Heal of the Babers Offensive Philosophy

 

[PhatOrange]

Calling it a hurricane game is basically doing just that. It's a convenient label and a gross exaggeration.

it wasn't a gross exaggeration. there was one clip on TV that showed a flag straight out and you could barely see it through the rain.

call it what you want but what happened in Carolina wasn't normal.

Bad Weather: The Achilles Heal of the Babers Offensive Philosophy

Babers offenses have never played inside. Ohio/Illinois isn't exactly a weather paradise.

Not being able to run the football is what holds it back. If we could, then bad weather wouldn't be such a problem.

 

[PhatOrange]

Hmm. Ok.

Henceforth, we will call it a "outskirts of a hurricane game that played a role, but not too much of a role game"

The outerband hurricane game or the tornado watch game?

 

[CuseLegacy]

We need to stop calling the WF game a "hurricane game". If conditions were anywhere near hurricane conditions, the game would have been cancelled. The weather didn't play to our strengths but we didn't come ready to play. The game plan and adjustments were lousy. Let's stop making excuses and blaming the weather. If we need perfect weather conditions to beat teams then I guess our ceiling is 7-8 wins. There will always be 5-6 road games, half of which will probably be in some type of wind, rain or humidity.

Really? Just like the NCAA/ACC cancelled the games at NC State and UNC.

Huh, we say that at my work.

i say that on the way to work

No it's not, it's the conditions the game was played in. Are you saying it didn't have a major influence on the outcome?

So I guess we should dump it.

This place is nuts. This garbage and crazy stuff about time of possession

Is alumni stadium grass or turf?

Turf

Hopefully, the rain hits in the am and winds take over around kick. That's the weather channel app prediction thus far. I would rather deal with wind and a ball ED can grip and our boys can catch. We got this

 

[Alsacs]

The weather will be rain on Saturday but we need to just hope the wind is fine.
I was at the Wake game the wind was insane. If it's just rain we will be able to throw the ball.

The weather report on the Boston channels have been saying Friday will not be nice, but by Saturday game time the rain will be gone.
Might be windy, but come on... Let's just beat these guys like we all know we should.

Last weeks VT' game was awesome (and a gift. but that's a discussion for another thread).. This weekend we need to kick some eagle arse.

[orangepassion]

80% rain according to weather.com

 

[Orangello]

Weather Channel says heavy rain this PM but stops around 7am Sat.

 

[Ish88888]

Looking like 30% pregame and 50-60% during. Its actually improved. Go Cuse!

 

[Ringostar57]

Trip back going to be a mess. Heavy wet snow in the Berkshires late afternoon/evening.

 

[BillSU]

showers and a game temp of 66 degrees. It does not seem like the weather is going to wreak havoc in today’s contest. We should win this game if we play as we did vs. Va. Tech, No excuses - even though we are the away team. DB has this team now playing the way it should. Good luck to us.

 

[CuseOnly]

61 degrees
60% chance of rain

Just so you know I live down here. I also live in the Charlotte area which is a little farther inland and it was very windy. Blew over multiple trees some big some small. Call it what you want but it had an effect on me and I wasn't outside in it.

Weather.com should sponsor this board.

Just kick the ball off and line 'em up. BC is beatable on any field.
