Game Day Is Going To Suck
It's already raining heavily and it's supposed to last all day and night. It's going to kill the tailgating and attendance. We had some big name recruits coming and it robs us of some much needed practice for the qb and wideouts. The one positive is there should be lots of running which will get the oline more reps.

Some of the best games I have watched were in driving rain. Only the die hards show up and they make the most noise anyway. Stomp em' and get that W.

Oh we will. It just dampens the tailgating and a sellout would have impressed the recruits. Some are coming from as far away as Dallas for this one.

Eh, we'll still have a good crowd. And this is UCF, people will also show up for the drinking even if it is raining.
Now, if it is high winds, lightning, etc., then that could be a problem. But from what I understand, the game is close to a sellout so I expect a good crowd regardless.

Kill tailgating? This is UCF you're talking about. At 6am in a drizzle, this is what Memory Mall looked like.
There's even more people there now. It's gonna take a lot more than rain to cut short a UCF party.

True...but The Mall Tailgating area was already FULL at 9:10 AM this morning!
UCF Fans have waited almost 300 days (295) since their last home game so a little rain won't stop them from showing up!

Weather is supposed to get progressively better as the day goes. Widespread rain this morning, turning to scattered by late morning/early afternoon and then to isolated by late afternoon/evening.
1st home game...can't wait to get out there!

It will still be a good crowd. Just means less freshmen, who are at their first game, puking.
