Anyone see the plans changing for some of these tournaments along I-10 ? Calling for 4-6 inches of rain Lake Charles to New Orleans.

LOL! I am totally good with whatever comes! Military grade wet weather gear means I'll be quite content watching from the sideline! Just curious to see if plans are being made to push games later or use other days.

Well, so far this year the weather has been wonderful compared to last year when we had everything from temps in the 20's to snow/sleet to torrential rain and on and on.
Guess the luck can't last forever.

Last year the weather at Showcase wasn't far off a Category 1 hurricane, so I can't imagine it being much worse than that this year. The ball would literally move by itself! Made for some interesting games and even a few own goals.

That's right warrior! I couldn't remember which tournament it was but last year's final match was cancelled I think due to the weather! I remember goal kicks and punts blowing backward 20-30 yards! It was a vicious wind indeed! None the less...a great event year after year!

It was a vicious wind indeed! None the less...a great event year after year! I think Brother Martin was supposed to play Acadiana in the Showcase Premier Division final, but Jason had to call of the game because off the weather. We played U-High is the Lower Division Championship right before and the rain was hitting my face so hard it left some welts! Had to be at least 45 mph wind. Rain was blowing sideways. I saw an entire flock of birds get blown backwards by the wind! Craziest weather I've ever played in. Now that I'm on the sidelines and can wear nice weather-proof gear, I'm not going back!
