Will only be like an hour per that tiger guy? I actually hope for a short delay, but, at the same time, I would lmao if there was a big delay. A long delay probably wouldn't be abad thing to us. Timezones are on our side for late games. |

Gotta love how all these SEC and ACC locations get weather delays in June, and we're here soaking up the sun. Who has baseball weather again?

Lightening is a bit different. Well geez maybe we should play somewhere with more seasonable weather in June. |

I never got into the discussion between NativeB and the LSU guy from a few days ago. But as a civil engineer, I cant see how pumps help a field drain. It's all about percolation. After the rainfall percolates through the surface and is collected in pipes, pumps could help if gravity is not available. This is how Reser Stadium is drained. It's a bathtub. But for keeping the surface playable, pumps do nothing.

This angers me about the whole regional host selection process. They know the weather six days in advance. And yet you put at least two regionals every year in locations, where you know that the weather is going to be awful. Just stupid. I can't help but think that Oregon State benefits from any delay. |

Well, I'm certain the LSU field is not graded to allow collection basins on the field and then that runoff is quickly pumped away. Maybe the "civil" part of your handle is you are also a civil engineer. If so, enlighten me. I'm always learning. |

Maybe the "civil" part of your handle is you are also a civil engineer. If so, enlighten me. I'm always learning. Have you ever heard of a French drain? Really? Do you feel threatened? I'll check back in a while. Please explain the surface drainage design for Alex Box Stadium. Tell me the slopes that are used to direct sheet flow to the drains. Then tell us all where the drains are placed? I'll bet there is a not a playing surface in the United States that has french drains on the playing surface. They can create some "bad hops." If they are out of the playing surface, does the field have slopes? Answering my own question, it doesn't have enough slope to move much water. Saying all this, what you are left with is the need for rain to percolate through the surface. But knock this out of the park. |

The field doesn’t have individual French drains under the surface but a large limestone gravel bed with a system of pipes embedded in the gravel bed. I’ve been at a game where a rain came and the outfield has a ton of standing water in centerfield. After the rain was finished you could literally watch the water drain off the field as in about 10 minutes the standing water was gone. The football field has some thing similar but the football field is turtle backed so the drainage is down each boundary. |

Goodbye, Auburn. Didn't deserve a regional, and played like it.
And AMF to Okie State was well. Defense created two safeties but their offense was pitiful in an 18-4 loss to Dallas Baptist.

How does the water get to the "large limestone gravel bed?"
