Re: NDSU-SDSU Fans-- Are we still country Bumkins?
1. I don't think it is embarrassing at all to call the game after one pitch, when it is done so that all four games can get played. Remember this was approved by both sides BEFORE the pitch was made. It wasn't as though the teams did all their regular warm-ups, went out took the field thinking they were going to play the game and then it was suspended.
2. As for your proposal that they should have played the suspended game on Saturday and moved one of the two scheduled Saturday games to Sunday, how is that different than just rescheduling Friday's game to Sunday? Oh yeah, because the decision to suspend Friday's game was not made on the spur of the moment. It was planned so that they could get the four games in over the weekend.
3. How does ORU travel? You assume they could just hold their plane until the game was over. That may or may not have been the case, and YOU can never convince me that both teams would not have preferred a 2&2. If ORU states they preferred a 3&1 and travel was no consideration, then I will believe it.
4. As for the Augie game, you get a weather report saying it isn't going to clear off until after when you could get a game in, but you want them to still play the game. I forgot that you also work for the National Weather Service and could have told them that nothing was going to happen.
If it upsets you so much, go to the HPER and ask if you can get your ticket price refunded. If not, I'm guessing the board members can pool together enough to make you whole.
