    SportsDawg....I know you're smarter than that. It's really simple. If a team can't get 4 games played in one weekend, then don't schedule 'em. But if you want to try, maybe you have to do something different (rut row, there's the most hated word in LA Tech athletic history, haha!) For example, maybe you start play at 8 AM Sunday morning, instead of 10 AM. Or maybe you spend Sunday night in Ruston/Monroe/Shreveport, and fly back the next day. Or maybe you transport the team via rental vans to DFW, and then take one of those $49 non-stop flights I was just reading about to Charleston or Huntington from DFW. And I haven't even bothered to check flights from Jackson, MS, or other airports.

    Or how 'bout this: Why couldn't we play a "triple header" on a Saturday? Yeah, I know it would be a little unorthodoxed, but so what? It might even give us some additional national publicity. Tournament softball teams play 3 games -and often more- in one day all the time. (Back in the day, I routinely played 6 games a day during a double elimination softball Tournaments, if we won enough.) Tech could start Game 1 at 9AM, start the 2nd game at 1:30, and start the last game at 6 PM. That's 4 and a half hours between each start. And don't give me the "tired player" story. You and I both know baseball is a sport that allows most of the players (non-pitchers) to expend very little energy during a game. Especially for 18-22 yr olds.

    BTW I think my "Triple Header" is a great idea. Just call it "A Day with the Dawgs", and have people tailgating between games, etc...all day long. Kinda like USM's fans were doing a couple of weeks ago in Hattiesburg.

    But, for the love of Pete, don't make somebody else do ALL THE THINKING. If they want me to fix the schedule, I can fix it. But they haven't asked for the help, so that means somebody else has got to do some thinking for a change.
    See my post number 12 in this thread. I even suggested starting Friday's game early, since Marshall will arrive on Thursday.

    Ruston, Louisiana | Local and National Hourly Weather Forecasts | WeatherBug Friday - 30% chance @ 1/2; increases to 40% (3), 60% (4,5,6), 70% thereafter. Start the game at 10 am or 11 and hopefully be done by 2.

    They should look at the forecast Thursday evening and find the latest 4-hour window before the rain chance is forecast above 50%. Other teams have played early Friday games due to weather. USM played UAB at either 2:00 or 3:00 several weeks ago.

    Based on the forecast shown in your post, they should start no later than noon. The third team (the assigned umpiring crew) also has to be in place for this to work.

    Agreed. 2:00 looks to be too late for a good 4-hour window.

    Does a rain out after 5 or 7 make for a complete game? It’s really STUPID of Judy to insist on 2 9 inning games but typically Judy.

    NCAA rules require all single games to be 9 innings. The ADs approved 4-game series, and I guarantee the coaches would not have. The coaches are already working to reverse that decision that was supposed to cover next year also.

    Conference USA specifically mentioned the NCAA Halted Game rule for conference series in the last handbook I have seen (2015-2016). In that case games are supposed to be played to 9 innings. Of course that handbook discusses a 3-game series.

    If that rule is still in effect, an incomplete game Friday would have to be completed Saturday before the regularly scheduled game. Likely a 9-inning single game would be played after the halted game instead of a 7-inning doubleheader. That would make Sunday the 7-inning doubleheader.

    The biggest gripe I have about C-USA is that it hides all of its administrative materials where most conferences make those references easily available.
