Cohen. Three main reasons.

[Predestined]

1. We get pre game BP on our field

2. Weather and potential impact on starters and late game(s)

3. We get to scout all opponents live.

He's got reasons. Some may not agree with them, but he is doing what he thinks best to get us to next weekend. So deal with it the best you can.

SEMO

yeah we get to see them live for sure.

 

[Shmuley]

Cohenz. Tinkerer extraordinaire.

 

[AlCoDog]

I'm not following #3. Looks to me like we're overthinking **** already.

 

[Digging dog]

He is one quirky Mo-Fro. He's winning though.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Well, he is the Intense Bastard™

 

[dickiedawg]

It's official. Our fans will ***** about anything.

 

[AlCoDog]

Yes, selfishly, I am going to *****. They announced our game was at 6:30. I made plans accordingly. Now they move it to 1:30, and I will not be able to attend Friday. I imagine I'm not alone. As long as we win I'll survive, but I'm extremely disappointed I won't get to go Friday.

 

[Predestined]

No kidding. We either want flexibility or rigidity.

Or to put it another way, we want whatever suits us best.

I suspect some of the people angry at Cohen's flexibility are probably the same ones still giving Polk grief about starting Paul Maholm against ETSU.

Do hate it for the ones who can't get away. Blessed to be able to at least go home to watch (unless something blows up at work).

Bottom line- he's doing what he thinks is the best thing for State. All we can ask for.

Well that and better concessions food on the first base side.

And better parking.

 

[Predestined]

It would have been better to wait. Ball dropped there no doubt. Sorry you have to miss Friday.

 

[Digging dog]

I've got tickets hotel reservations (and a job that has to be finished Friday). Damnit

It is not that unusual for the host team to play in the afternoon on Friday. Skip Bertman used to do that frequently at LSU, and probably for weather reasons (if there are rain delays you dont wind up playing until midnight).

 

[Cow College]

I am probably not going to go this weekend if that's the case

 

[Bulldogg31]

At this point it's safe to say Cohen is just trolling us.

We are not alone. LSU, again, has chosen the early game against a #4 seed .. and Texas Tech has done the same in their regional. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is going with the late start .. 9 PM eastern.

Guess we will see 'how' it sorts out.

 

[bulldogcountry1]

I personally don't see a meaningful cumulative advantage and admit it's not what is best for me.

But, if he has the team ready to play with a purpose, then I will get over it.
