What would today’s weather do to everyone’s predictions?
Would be pretty hard to throw the ball.
Who does it impact most, Naz?

 

[mchsalumni]

I see LWE-Warren as a 4-2 final. Yes, 3 safeties.

 

[Kevin JCHS 81]

NOAA weather still says just rain with 90% chance.

That would be a thing.

 

[greatgig13]

Should PR still show up?

 

[crusader_of_90]

Seemed like last week, ESL decided to run ... I think they prepped for bad weather for two weeks.

 

[mchsalumni]

#allbrakeslimitedgas

If the weather turns this way we could see an interesting upset or two!

 

[Bwm57]

Should PR still show up?

Seems to me PR might be able to function today as well as anyone.

The same people who say the danged oceans will be boiling in 20 years.

Pretty hard to throw today? Gee, you think so? Wind gusts over 50 mph.

Ok boomer.

Thanks for the setup!

Great!

I’m not knocking PR by any means. The ESL faithful have already anointed so I’m just wondering if PR should just stay home and eat turkey.

You're very welcome!

No, I assume they are smarter than that.

If the weather prediction is correct, who will it affect the most in the 5A-8A games. Any wind predictions to go along with the rain?

8 mph Friday and 14 mph Saturday. But that's the Coal City area.

 

[weirdo0521_rivals221232]

Anyone catch the NIU game last night? I'm fearing that's what it will be like on Saturday.

 

[Anon1754760634]

Very simple formula for DeKold I mean DeKalb....whatever the expected temp is being projected subtract 5 degrees off and add that number to the wind speed....

I can attest to that! Many of days walking from Stevenson dorms to Campus. Windy and cold is right.

For sure, there are lots of fields out west to help pick up the windspeed.

Naz without question.

 

[caravan8]

Probably would affect most offenses. Most teams run primarily out of shotgun sets so the snap will get interesting on every play with rain and wind. Is PR the only team in 5A-8A that runs plays from under center still?

 

[Kevin JCHS 81]

My most updated weather forecast says:

Rain all day
14+ mph winds
Thunderstorms starting about 12 noon and possibly lasting until 6-7pm.

But that's a Joliet / Coal City area forecast. I not savvy enough to change to the actual game location.

 

[Googertys Dog]

I wouldn’t sleep on Naz’s run game. I know they passed a lot, because they can, but they definitely are not one dimensional. Their run defense is pretty solid too.

the weather should make it fun to watch if you like smash mouth football.

 

[Oddy]

Right now the forecast for Saturday is 80% rain, 17 mph wind, fwiw.

 

[Solid Snake Pliskin]

LWE and Warren spend 2.5 hours running into brick walls and punting.

Biggest beneficiaries: Rita, PR, Warren, and MC.

Absolutely, the kid [Strong] is healthy, and he’s a great back. Hopefully, we can somehow contain him...

 

[Blue Ruin]

If it rains, Odeluga reigns. If he fumbles, MC stumbles.

Just got an offer from EIU, well deserved.

 

[CCLGUY1964]

Saturday DeKalb weather

St. Rita's game
10 a.m. 37 degrees, rain, winds 15 mph, gusts to 20

Mount Carmel's game
4 p.m. 41 degrees, rain, winds 17 mph, gusts to 22

 

[1111SouthFirst]

If there's lightning, wouldn't that throw the entire game schedule off and could games get switched to Sunday?

Otherwise, with lightning delays, 8A kickoff could be at 11 pm Saturday night.
