I don't see how this happens, but I hope against hope we play tomorrow . . . I want to tailgate so bad I can't stand it. Well let me rephrase; I really don't care if we play or not, just don't cancel it until about 10 minutes before kickoff, that way I can still tailgate.

I would think they should have it ready to go. The biggest problem is probably going to be the water washing away all the black pellets.

I wonder what the standing water will do to their turf. It can't be good for it. Did they even bother to build a drainage system there? It looks from the picture, that the water is not even draining off the field.

Now I have to wonder what Lowery Field looks like!!:thinking:

Drainage system and Lubbock don't belong in the same sentence. :doh:

Oh there's a drainage system, the problem is they have to move the water pretty much out of the city to get any sort of elevation change. If you're farmiliar with Lubbock, they got water in the Sneed Dorm that runs next to University, and it's directly behind the scoreboard in a couple of the pics. There's just nowhere for the water to go. It doesn't ever rain like this out here, so there's no point in spending another few hundred thousand dollars on pumps that will only be used once every five years. That's what I would assume would be the case anyway.

first thought would be to move the game to Dallas. Some games switched sites becasue of the storm on the coast..
However - the staduim at SMU is being used by Houston vs Air Force that moved there..

How about the stadium in New Deal?

You're right there LH Panther Mom. You don't normally think of flooding when you think of Lubbock.

Ok thanks for the info. I've never been to Lubbock, so I'm not familiar with the layout at all. I hope everyone there is safe and the water damage is limited. Take care up there.

Lubbock has a drainage system.. It is called the middle of the street:eek:

[BobcatBenny]

I'm still waiting on the bikini picture.

There is no way a guy as smart as RMAC is not going to think of that. He remembered the Hot Chick and rubber boots? But ... forgot the bikini? :doh:

RMAC is holding back!

I wonder what kind of cool captions could have been stuck on a picture like that? :thinking:

Lubbock is on the Plains .. BUT. It is actualy on higher ground than land thats around it. You would think that would help it but Lubbock is actualy in sort of a depression on top of that higher ground. I have heard people say that Lubbock is on a Hill and in a hole on that hill. So , there is no place for the water to go. I understand that the underground water table is also very very shallow. I lived there 3 years and its bad when there is alot of rain.

You're telling me. It took me an hour and a half to get beer last night. They had Hwy. 87 closed at the 82nd street exit so I couldn't get to the strip, but alas, our friends to the southwest now sell beer. . . so it was still a good night.:D

I got home yesterday, well I ended up going back cause my cousin was having her baby, she was having some complications and we got stuck at my aunts house until around 12 this afternoon or so...I just got home.
