Vanderbilt app indicates game time TBA.
Forecast is for rain starting around 7p.m.
Any talk of moving the game up to 4 p.m. or thereabouts?
Early start in Murfreesboro?

Re: Early start in Murfreesboro?
VU posted a story last night that says it will start at 6:00 PM: http://www.vucommodores.com/sports/m-ba ... 18aab.html

Thanks for the info, but ...
... once again I will say that they should have heeded my warning.
According to weather.com, there is a 5% chance of rain at 6pm CDT, then it increases to 35% (7pm), 35% (8pm), 55% (9pm) and 100% (10pm). The game will likely be completed, but will probably be messy.
When the 'Dores were in California and a huge storm was rolling in, I suggested an early start to both VU-USC and TCU-UCLA on Saturday, but the schedule was not changed because of contracts with the PAC-12 Network. As it turns out, BOTH games were cancelled and the network was forced to show reruns or who knows what.
I guess we need to get more people with clout reading Vandymania.

Joe Fisher may read Vandymania
He just said, "I don't understand why this game wasn't started earlier in the day -- say 4:00 -- given all that we knew about the incoming weather."

Re: Early start in Murfreesboro?
Because Middle would lose. And heaven forbid they give away a win over Vanderbilt in anything. No, they are probably sitting around in their jock straps today, drinking champagne, smoking cigars and each sharing their life altering experience of beating nationally ranked VU. Their fans are probably organizing a parade around campus. And to think it is just a lie.vujoe wrote:Why not finish the game today.
