[phxpoke]

No need to stop the beers, looks like we may just have to drink right through the NFL games...

Not bad. Wyo struggles to get 22K still.

Damn. Well at least I got a case of beer instead of the usual 12 pack

Sounds like a hell of an idea

Where is txst again?

San Marcos. About halfway between San Antonio and Austin... maybe slightly closer to Austin.

Thanks....I knew it started with "San"

No I'd say they struggle to get 25k. 22k is about average.

Sounds like the field can't drain fast enough for the rain so it's got standing water now.

this doesnt give us the advantage. They are running the ball. We are not.

Well, doesn't that mean that it's harder to make cuts? I guess it's turf, so it won't matter as much, maybe.


Also, crowd noise might not be an issue at all.

i am just thinking that wet weather doesnt bode well for a faster offense. TSU will take all night to run a series.

TXST beat writer just tweeted that there will only be a 15 minute halftime tonight due to the delay.

Lower than low

I've never heard of postponing a game after kickoff

I love San Marcos, it is a cool town. I can't remember but the river but I floated it on some 'tubes with a case of beer (good times). Really nice city.

Isn't that what a normal halftime is? I say screw half-time and just play the game from here on out. It's not like we're that far from halftime anyway, what 8 minutes or so?

If they can get the water off the field, then it shouldn't be too bad on us. Despite heavy rains here, the wet field didn't really slow down Smith and company.

sorry, excuse the 'only'... just copied and pasted the tweet.
there have been alot of questions here about whether they would shorten halftime.

 

[bokobobcat1919]

oh and halftime is usually 20 minutes I believe.

I thought NCAA halftimes were half hour and NFL are like 13 mins

Nope. 20 minutes for NCAA. Can't say for NFL as I don't really keep track of it, but yeah, 20 for NCAA.

 

[bokobobcat1919]

I think it is 30 minutes for special events... but the standard is 20 unless agreed upon by both staffs I believe.

I could be wrong though.
