jsevier Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 they have outdoor and indoor facilities in Kirkland Forgive a man who is not completely up to snuff on what they do out there in the rain capitol of the world. :laugh: While watching Comcast's Sportsnite yesterday evening they specifically referenced (and showed them) in the bubble. Either way I can't imagine signing is too hard in either element. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Gibbs II Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 well TC has had to play 1/2 of his games in really crappy conditions so hopefully he is more suited than Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Top Cat Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 It's funny about hearing my whole life about all the rain in Seattle...I went there on business a few years ago for 2 weeks.... it was clear and sunny (70F) the whole 2 weeks (I got sun burn walking around...). Nobody believed me when I got back that I had been to Seattle... Can we get this post deleted please? Signed, Seattlites Against Californication.

Digger Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 and I think it could be a huge factor. I'm sitting here in central California awaiting what folks are calling one of the biggest storms in decades. It is supposed to come in this evening and last through the weekend. The Sierras are supposed to get 10-feet of snow and the Bay area is supposed to get 4-8 inches of rain. My point you may wonder? Pretty much everything we get here comes out of the northwest coast (i.e., Seattle area). To be honest I haven't checked if Qwest Field is covered (I don't think it is). If it isn't the game is going to be a wet muddy mess. I think that favors the Skins given the Seahawk's reliance on the passing game. Thoughts?

Drunken Master III Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I heard that there is a 100% chance of rain for the game. I think the field is field turf though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chow184 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 matt hasslebeck knows how to throw in the rain it will deter them a little bit but probably be more of an issue for us in terms of passing. seattle has had a crappy ground game though. if the weather is flatout rainy/windy I think we'd get an advantage,but if it's all rain no wind it doesnt do much.

Bigmuss1 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Here's the latest aerial shot of the stadium. As you can see it looks to be retractable, but in fact it's not. It does rain alot here, as you can see water on the field here. It is also known to be full of sh** by gametime. Quality pic of Seattle and their stadium!!!

Coach Janky Spanky Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 We've been solid in the rain/wind the last part of the season. Hopefully won't slow down the timing passing too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucfSKINS Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Wind is supposed to be around 15-18 mph. Rain chances are currently at 90% and the high for the day is 45 degrees. Sunset is at 4:30 pm, so I bet temps will be around 35-40 towards the end of the game. If the wind and rain keep up, we should be fine. Notice the 'should' in the last sentence lol.

paige3girl Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 are you kidding me... there have been at least two threads today started about the weather and it has come up in almost every single game thread http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231281 http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Nope paige3girl, I wasn't kidding you. I'm sorry I missed those threads and the references in almost every single game thread. Further, I would like to apologize if in any way I have bruised your tender sensibilities. I truly am sorry. Cheers! ~Digger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UVASKINSFAN Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 The game I think will favor the Skins in the rain. The Seahawks front four is undersized and a wet field would help us even more in the running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to start ignoring because I am overly excitable and I disagree that it benefits us as they play and practice in this weather often. I just don't think that this is one of our advantages going into this game but I also don't believe it gives them an advantage either. I personally think its a non-issue because both teams have done well in inclimate weather... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 It's 100% chance of rain according to weather.com. I think it will give us a better opportunity to run the ball and control the game there. Has it rained every game (except Minnesota) since ST was buried?
