Who benefits if it rains? I can make a case either way. It’s been so darn dry over the last couple months, but this is potentially already the second time that rain has entered the equation this season. It rained the morning of the FIU game, but the weather did break during the game.

Rain is no longer in the forecast.
It’s back into the forecast to varying degrees. AccuWeather shows perhaps a shower, TWC has showers in the afternoon and evening, NWS has slight chance of showers in the afternoon and evening. I prefer a dry game, but things become awfully unpredictable with a wet football.

Good news that TWC removed showers from the forecast for State College. NWS and AccuWeather still just have a very small chance of a shower, but looks like the weather will be pretty good overall.

Very low chance of an isolated shower, most of any showers will be farther east and southeast. This per Bobby Martrich Chief Met of Eastern PA Weather Authority (EPAWA) and PSU grad with Met degree.

I thought "they" said the opposite. A slippery field give the advantage to the receiver who knows when way he's going.

Slippery field gives the receiver the advantage

In sports, particularly in football, a slippery field can indeed give the receiver an advantage. The slippery conditions can lead to more accurate and controlled passes, as the receiver can better judge the distance and direction of the throw. This is especially true for players who rely on their vision and reflexes to make quick decisions on the field. However, it's important to note that while slippery conditions can enhance the receiver's performance, they can also increase the risk of turnovers, such as interceptions. Therefore, while slippery conditions can provide a tactical advantage, they also come with the potential for increased difficulty in executing plays and maintaining control of the ball.

Do "they" still control the weather? Because "we" should make friends with "they" if so.
“They” are simply saying things so as to 1) say something (dead air is frowned upon) and 2) hopefully sound smart and sophisticated while they’re at it. Seriously, doing basic research is a lost art these days so I doubt “they” actually know a damn thing about the weather.

This did not age well, let me spare y’all the trouble of pointing this out.
