Weather Thread for USC

[bac2therac]

Extremely uncertain. Long range keeps waffling on frontal passage and shower chances in the Friday to Sunday timeframe. Should be warm before the frontal passage but we are headed to a cooldown by the following week with highs in the low 70s. The question remains when and how and we are nowhere near nailing this down yet

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

I will nail down a brutal beat down.

 

[RU206]

100-0 USC.

 

[Caliknight]

SC will show no mercy. Perception for playoffs matters. Not blowing out the team badly that lost to UMass and BCU would be looked at as a loss. This has 80-7 written all over it.

 

[kupuna133]

Violence!!!

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Maybe a massive rain storm with lightning and flooding cancels the game. Or locusts.

 

[Caliknight]

A huge storm with no one in the stands besides die hard SC fans would be ideal from a score perspective. SCs loves atmosphere and weather. If it’s a nice day, SC will cover whatever the massive spread will be. They will be throwing bombs with 5 minutes left trying to make a statement.

 

[Knight Shift]

Raining Trojan touchdowns. Wear your rubbers!

How about lantern flies? In all seriousness, I predict it will be a very dreary day and there will be plenty of boos raining down on this natural disaster known as Rutgers Football.

You’re loving all of this a little too much. Just stick to your main role carrying Brian’s water.

 

[koleszar]

Our only chance to keep it remotely close is a nor'easter. Hopefully it's nor'easter season.

[DJ Spanky]

Hopefully the weather cooperates for a great tailgating time, got a couple of new people joining the tailgate for the USC game.

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Will be attending my first RU game in many years. Although thd results of the first 2 games have significantly reduced my level of excitement.

 

[DanHuff]

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs

 

[Caliknight]

SC’s deception, size and speed is going to make Schianos team look very bad. It’s going to get ugly. SC has an embarrassment of riches all over the field. This is the best SC team I’ve seen in awhile. Size and speed and aggression is all there. Weather and overlooking Rutgers is the only chance of keeping this from total embarrassment. They play Washington the following week so will benefit focused on that.

Rajin Cajuns have a legit QB way better than ours. Really head scratching

 

[iReC89]

Might as well be a hurricane.

 

[MADHAT1]

For the USC game
I wish it would rain

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away
My Rutgers has Schiano, he’s not gone away
With him went Rutgers’ future, my life is filled with gloom
So day after day, I stay locked up in my room

I know to you, it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain
(Oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause so badly, I wanna go outside (such a lovely day)
But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry
Listen, I got to cry, 'cause crying eases the pain, oh yeah
People, this hurt I feel inside, words could never explain

I just wish it would rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain, rain, rain, rain (oh, how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh, baby, let it rain (rain, rain)
Oh yeah, let it rain

Day in, day out, my tear-stained face
Pressed against my windowpane
My eyes search the skies desperately for rain
'Cause rain drops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know that I'm crying (crying) crying (crying)
When I go outside
To the world outside, my tears, I refuse to explain

Ooh, I wish it would rain (how I wish that it would rain)
Ooh, baby, let it rain, let it rain (let it rain)
I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes (rain, rain, rain, rain)
Oh, let it rain

Oh, yeah, yeah, listen, let it rain (let it rain)
I'm a man, and I've got my pride (let it rain)
'Til it rains, I'm gonna stay inside

[bac2therac]

Still uncertain for next Saturday. While there is a decent shot at at fair skies and temps in the mid 70s for kickoff, we still will be in a situation where the positioning of a lingering or stalling front could impact the weekend in a negative way. STAY TUNED AS WE ALSO STAY TUNED TO THE SCHIANO CHOPPED NEWS

 

[RUforester72]

I canceled my trip back to NJ. Team is a disappointment. I predict gloom.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Will be attending my first RU game in many years. Although thd results of the first 2 games have significantly reduced my level of excitement.

But we're a lock to win the tailgate!

 

[bac2therac]

Timing is everything for Saturday. Waffling still continues though a lean toward dry and pleasant tailgates and more than likely dry for the game.Temps in 70s. Confidence in forecast is low at this time.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Nothing like the real thing live. When mainstream pop music had some legit Soul:

Same here. Taking a flight credit from United. Probably skipping the Northwestern game too.

 

[Knight Shift]

I thought we would play a round of $500 couples golf?

We are going. Make a weekend of it. Want to see the stadium. Going to Wisconsin too, but one of our kids relocated out there, and it is a chance to visit. We may not make it to the game though!

 

[MrsScrew]

My forecast:

Black mood clouds combined with raining tears of sorrow.

That weather wouldn’t matter, Schiano still gonna call a time out to ice the kicker.

 

[DJ Spanky]

So far the forecast is awesome for Saturday, sunny, high of 74°. Any rain would come in late.

 

[EddieWilsonLives]

Is there any chance at all for locusts?

 

[DJ Spanky]

Is there any chance at all for locusts?

Nope. But there's a high probability for the consumption of well aged single malt scotch at specific tailgates!

 

[bac2therac]

Is there any chance at all for locusts?

High likelihood of yellowjackets

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Maybe the rain and jet lag will keep USC under 70.

Confidence growing in the partly sunny low to mid 70s forecast. Just have to watch for any quicker approach and whereabouts of a front nearby

 

[bac2therac]

High confidence of a dry day for tailgating and through the game.

Definitely will be much cooler than people are used to. Highs will struggle to get out of the low 70s with some sun with increasing clouds. Temps will fall into the 60s by games end. Dress accordingly

I know we suck but I'm jacked for the tailgate. We have our whole RU crew coming except 1 who has passed away, a couple of the guys I have not seen in 20 years.

 

[FRA10Thunderbolt]

Me too! When I was young the tailgates were the fun of going to Rutgers games. Now that I am approaching 60 while the TG's are still fun they do not have quite the level of fun that they had when I was 20. I was not even going to go to this game because I have other things I can be doing but I did not want to leave the last of my TG crew hanging alone so I am going. Is it me or the fact that I gave up drinking that makes these beatdowns feel so much worse?
