Ohio St. Opener Weather Watch / Overreaction Thread - 🌞⛅🌦⚡❄🍺

At the moment I'm seeing:

Overcast with showers at times. Low 62F. Winds SE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 40%.

I'm thinking we're in for a Michigan St. style rainstorm where the PA announcer has to threaten the students before they'll get out of the rain...

Looking forward to an early September snow storm.

Weather channel is saying high of 77 with 32% chance of rain.

Weather Channel is known Ohio St. shills, can't be trusted.

I hope they let the grass grow long...slow Olave down a little.

They should be okay as long as they don't turn on the heating Coyles

In September?? That's what burned out the last set!

Those were removed. Too expensive to operate.

AccuWeather is saying 79/62 degrees with a 25% chance. I assume the "ACCU" means Accurate so they have to be the best.

They only had to do that because of lightning, which doesn't seem to be on the forecast at the moment.

Here's what I have:

You sure about that? I think he just lost $21.5M /s

Coyle finding footing

I use both AccuWeather and Weather Channel and I would say in my experience Weather Channel is usually more accurate. Also Weather Underground is owned by Weather Channel so they are basically the same.

Okay, but their name is "Accu". Pretty misleading if their not the best.

 

[highwayman]

Since weather prediction is no better than it was 40 years ago, I would say any guess is correct.

It's actually Akuweather ... he just doesn't want it known that he's running the show due to past bad press so they changed the name so they could get some funding.

Home field advantage

You beat me to it slab.

This unsettled weather pattern isn't going anywhere for the next 10 days. Temperatures will be in the 70s, but scattered thunderstorms could be an issue Thursday night.

Let's hope it ends up just being scattered rain showers and no thunderstorms! Unfortunately I don't have any maroon rain gear...

 

[PeoplesFront]

Yup. In addition, I heard the grounds crew has the field crown at a 2.9% slope to really make the receivers run uphill on any post or slant routes. That may play a factor in Kevin Wilson’s play-calling.

Black would match the jerseys.... Just sayin

Finally a reliable source. Been waiting for you all day.

I think the people that never predict the weather right are the same idiots predicting an OSU win................

 

[BilldGopher]

As long as any thunderstorms have no lightning we'll be okay...

 

[BilldGopher]

Here's a cool blast from the past look from UM vs tOSU for 2014...



Dilly Bar Dan is in there somewhere...

 

[Schnauzer]

I am at the cabin for the weekend. My to-do list includes bringing all my rain gear back so I will be comfortable in my Huntington Bank Stadium seats even if there is a monsoon next Thursday.

the weather is pretty bad so it is looking like an indoor weekend up north. I will likely be watching a lot of DVR Minnesota Football Classic one hour games. The following list is the games I happen to have up here. If you could only watch one, which one would it be? And, if you had to skip one, which one would that be from this list?

2000 Minnesota at Ohio State
2019 Penn State at Minnesota
2004 Music City Bowl
2020 Outback Bowl
2013 Nebraska at Minnesota
2014 Minnesota at Nebraska
2018 Quick Lane Bowl
2017 Holiday Bowl
2019 Minnesota at Rutgers
2019 Nebraska at Minnesota

 

[BilldGopher]

Was there so 2014 Minnesota at Nebraska.

Will the heating Coyles help keep the field dry?

I would think that with some barnfans running would give a hair-dryer effect.
That would prevent out defense from slipping trying to keep up with OSU's speed, wouldn't it?
