Cousins will be consoling each other.

I figured it was because they didn't have any DTs. 

[Al_4_ISU 12447]

Probably the same hellstorm that shit on us the other day.

That one already roared thru at 45mph.

[JFKFC 4878]

Same amount of people will attend regardless.

Don't worry, we're supposed to get 6 more inches of snow Monday.

We'll have more snow in April than January and December combined if that happens.  NO CR, but seriously, how do people think this is normal?

It’s called weather

Incredibly unseasonable weather.

The weather has no bearing on this happening or not.  Just saying.  /WV

Everyone's getting 6". Whether it snows or not.

I should have written, they will have more time to console each other.

Any special reason why it was scheduled this early in the first place?

[Parliament 14224]

The Minnesota Twins cleared 8" of snow off their field yesterday.  They're playing their home opener as we speak.

Late April is probably a popular time for cousins to get married weddings in WV.

Dana likes to get an early start before the arrest records pile up.

So you’re telling me they’re gonna be less prepared when they play us in November...

We’re gonna win...

Before the start of happy hour, truth be known.

That is perfect football weather! What a bunch of wimps. They belong in the SEC not the Big12.

I was gonna make an Ed Gein joke, but then I rechecked. Yeah, that was Wisconsin, not Iowa. I still consider y'all weird, though.

It is a fear of injury thing. They've lost ~3 starters for the year on an already paper thin defense

About 10 years ago, Easter was on April 8th.  We got 9 inches of snow in Central TX on April 7th.  It happens

Couches survive spring cleaning, have to wait until fall to get off the porch.

 

They are expecting 1 to 3 inches of snow in Morganhole tonight. I suspect it would be quite miserable, even more than usual, in West By God Virginny tomorrow.

[Whitman 694]

We are supposed to get a couple of inches tonight and tomorrow's high is about 35 (game time is 32 I think).  Getting over the mountains is tough in that kind of weather and comments were made about getting players hurt for nothing.  We also only usually draw about 10K to our spring game.

The only winning move is not to play

Nothing worse than a spring game in winter weather. I remember a few years back Pitt had its game, glorious weather, about 60 degrees and sunny. The next weekend the Nitters had their game and it was called in the second half due to wind, rain, snow and lightning.

Four or five years ago we lost one of our starting OL in the spring game.  Blew out his knee and missed the whole year.  Dana ain't got time for that mess.  We can barely keep him focused during a regular season game.

Texas has cut them short for rain.

Yeah, we got a foot in May once.  The difference between what's going on now and what happened then is that our other late season snows were followed by immediate warm up and melt off, where with this it got cold, and it's stayed cold, and it won't warm up for another 3-4 days.

We basically got a full week of January in April.  It's unlike anything I've witnessed.

I would have thought you would see more late summer, early fall weddings just before your Cousin Jenny gives birth.

[Al_4_ISU 12447]

Our spring game is now cancelled, and it's only due to rain.

Granted, the field had snow on it this AM, but there's nothing in the forecast that would indicate more snow or even freezing.  I guess they don't want to destroy the field/get guys injured.  Fine by me.

[Parliament 14224]

I think many coaches would tell you the spring game is overrated.
