THIS IS AN ELIMINATION GAME:

[SPAL]

I'll do it from Baum. It won't be as detailed as my usual threads bit I'll keep it updated.

[SPAL]

It's beginning to rain. Not hard yet, but a decent rain. Kinda dark.

It's beginning to rain. Not hard yet, but a decent rain. Fail dark.

The radar doesn't look good. Lots of red and yellow in the area. It isn't huge, but it also isn't moving too fast. 

[SPAL]

I've got 5 tickets to this game if anybody wants them.

What time is it showing it should hit here?

[ricepig]

About Winslow, I'd say within the hour, and last about an hour.

[Razorback7281]

I wish they would have started this game at noon. It's not on tv and if it rains for several hours tonight's game could get postponed and mess the whole regional schudle up. Plus it would give MSUs bullpen an extra day of rest.

[SPAL]

Guys, I'm not seeing anything ominous on the storm front. The darkest stuff I've seen is moving through. Looking to the South, I see clouds, but they aren't dark. It's not doing anything at present.

It just rain on my phone, no lightning shown.

It is about 20-30 miles south of us right now, but it is coming. This start will likely be delayed. Tarp on the mound and at home, plus the lines have not been chalked yet. They are standing by to bring out the big tarp at the moment.

[TikiHog]

my phone is on Drake Field and I'm showing lightning strikes within 5.1 miles

Well, you best get it off the runway, because we'll be landing at 4.

[Kevin]

It did not lightning in van buren but did rain hard

[SPAL]

Here comes the tarp.

[jjdlc]

Yep, poured in VB,  don't thing Fort Smth got a drop though.  So maybe it'll move on through and not cause too much trouble.

[SPAL]

Lot of orange. They travel well. It should start raining within 20 minutes.

[SPAL]

Decent rain now

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Lot of orange. They travel well. It should start raining within 20 minutes.

I assume if they delay too long. This game will take the place of our prime time game and then we play SMS tomorrow morning.

[SPAL]

Hard rain now.

[SPAL]

I assume if they delay too long. This game will take the place of our prime time game and then we play SMS tomorrow morning.

From what I'm hearing, we will play tonight. It may be a long night.

[SPAL]

The hardest part of the rain seems to have passed. Still got some rain coming.

[tennesseehogwild]

If they get started by 3:30 we should still be pretty much on schedule, maybe 30-45 minutes late.

[ricepig]

From what I'm hearing, we will play tonight. It may be a long night.

Yeah, truthfully this looks like an hour long delay, so push everything back an hour.

[SPAL]

Pretty much over now. Here comes the grounds crew.

[Hogs49ers]

I was wondering if we have to take an hour in between games to clear out the stadium, warm-up, and allow others to come back in?  Or can they shorten that to just needing 30 min in between games?

[SPAL]

I'm hearing 330 start

[tennesseehogwild]

Wonder if the SECN will bail on us with a late start?

[SPAL]

Suddenly, everybody stopped working and left the field.

[Birminghog]

Are we rooting for anybody in this game? If so, who?

[SPAL]

I guess they are expecting more rain. Nobody is working

[ricepig]

Suddenly, everybody stopped working and left the field.

Union mandated break.......

[SPAL]

Are we rooting for anybody in this game? If so, who?

Oklahoma state with a depleted pen is better for us if we slip up tonight.

[tennesseehogwild]

I hate OSU and Mo St. So I will be pulling for ORU

[SPAL]

Here comes some dude with chalk to the foul pole. More standing.

[Razorback7281]

Are we rooting for anybody in this game? If so, who?

Root for the 20 inning game.

[SPAL]

The rest of the crew has been summoned

[SPAL]

And now, in a bold move, the tarp is being removed. The atmosphere is tense. We may start calling the hogs.

[SPAL]

Nope, now we are meeting with some important looking guys. Work has ceased again.

[TikiHog]

still lots of rain heading that way

[SPAL]

Now we have 30 people lined up along the tarp looking like a race is about to ensue.

[SPAL]

Here we go. Tarp coming off as the  several hundred fans erupt

[SPAL]

340 the announced game time

[Arkapigdiesel]

What inning is the game in?

[SPAL]

Just watched a family draped in towels wipe down the seats with toilet paper

[SPAL]

Negative 1

[Razorback7281]

Hopefully not used tp

[SPAL]

Oral Roberts will be the home team and will wear all white with blue trim.

Oklahoma state will counter from the visiting dugout in Orange tops and grey pants.

Not sitting in the gifted section, i assume.

[SPAL]

Just Oklahoma State fans
