seems like athletics made a mess of this... when the weather reports were available they shoulda moved it... we have select-a-seat and recruits on top of the spring game.

Shouldnt be a hard decision. They surely have to know the weather is a potential issue? They moved the Baseball game so one would think they would be talking to the FB decision makers as well.

Not sure why they havent made a decision already.

That radar indicates that it's pretty much going to be clear around 6 ... Been all day that the weather would be pretty much cleared up by game time.

what athletics doesn't realize is that while it may be clear by game time, the fan support will have decided not to go. wet roads, wet chairs, overall not a comfortable environment, attendance will suffer.

and it's "supposed" to be clear by 6. but my radar doesn't look like it...too unpredictable, but don't expect anything better from usf athletics.

Good reason to keep game on. We won't have to explain the anemic attendance to them and can write it off as weather related ....

The person who was going watch my father, while we were at the game, back out at the last second. Sucks. I guess I'll watch the @USFFootball twitter feed.

Weather might clear up but the attendance will surely drop now. New Season Ticket Sales will take a hit today. Newbies wont come out in the rain to pick a seat.

God forbid someone get hurt like our QB or someone else, a position that we are not deep at.

We already had injuries on the D line, (pork chop) we cant afford any more. Sloppy weather, equates to sloppy field, which equates to sloppy play and potential for injuries.

NOT WORTH THE RISK for the entire season.

If they chose to go on with it and someone gets hurt than I blame Skippy and company for allowing it to happen.

Hope they all make it out of this Practice without any injuries

We've had perfect weather and players get hurt. Maybe they should not play the Spring Game at all.

They play and practice in these conditions all of the time. As you point out, this is another practice, nothing more.
