He said any updates would come on social media. Nothing yet. Guessing they are waiting for the line of rain and thunder to pass by.

Thanks Medic. I looked at the local weather forecast and it looks like it should end between 10:30 and 11:00.

Looks like a narrow band of storms with nothing behind it. I think they have a good window starting maybe a little earlier at around 10:00.

That was my guess after looking at the radar. Guessing S. Quigley is done for the night.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but weather always seems to be an issue here this time of year.

 

[dbmill]

Oh well, the wait continues.

Y'know, there's a brand new stadium in the conference where it seems at least not rain annually....

 

[Bomber36]

Well, I guess I’ll have another beer…

This photo gives you a good view of that short porch in right field. Yes, I’m bored. But they really haven’t mentioned it yet.

Welp…. All Mother Nature wrote for tonight:

This turn of events isn’t good for the winner or the loser of this game. The forecast doesn’t inspire confidence either.

No one is to blame for the weather. BUT — weather happens this time of year. Why in the world would the team that earned the #1 seed play the second game on opening day, and be more prone to have its schedule backed up, than the 2 and 3 seeds? Not to mention a few extra hours rest for the staff even with no rain. For television? No material number of people are watching this on Flo Sports.

I totally agree and was wondering the same thing. Schedule it the same way they schedule BE Basketball Tournaments with number one seed playing first to gain additional rest.

Because in the infinite wisdom of the Big East Conference, they’re treating Xavier as the tournament host. What would they have done if Xavier didn’t qualify for the tournament?
