The game yesterday was at 1pm on a Friday afternoon.
Parking was totally fucked up due to UIL softball tourney and there was backup into the parking garage of an hr and half. Fans were still trickling in up til the 2nd/3rd inning.
Even with the overpriced tickets (fucking BS ticket brokers) the game today is prime time on a Saturday night and the Disch will be full.
Nope.
But this time of year and storms like last night (or the threat of) is why we still have the turf. The outfield and everywhere outside of the chalk today would be a mess otherwise.
For those going and asking about parking....It WILL BE a cluster.
Of course the UIL softball tourney will be going on at McCombs all day Friday and Saturday at the same time as the Regional.
Out west of us in Fredericksburg, our friends had a window knocked out by hail. Not sure how big it was.. For us here just west of DS, we had small grape size hail with big ol' fat rain for about an hr.
Got soaked twice cleaning out our intake to our rainwater system. But it's close to full now and storm has passed through.
Wasting your time (speaking from experience)....people coming to that game will be from those schools and will already have tickets. Plenty of empty seats for games that TEXAS will not be involved in.
Giving them away will be a challenge.
Losers from Friday's game play first on Saturday. Friday winners play the late game on Saturday.
Gives more time for rest in between games and host has the choice as to game times,... why give that advantage to someone you are most likely playing Saturday, plus the weather issue/late game is given to an oppenent.
It's DEFINITELY intentional.
4 teams in the top 5 (4 #1's) throughout the year (plus Joja) all on the same side of the bracket? Compare it to the other side of bracket and there is a big difference. Not bitching, but it's not the first time this has been done.
Just gotta win.🤘
