Sprinkles

It's a slow weather day in the sports world. Let's face it; sports could use a break following the past few weeks in which 22 baseball games have been postponed because of snow and rain, an MLB team had to switch cities to get out of the snow, and huge nor'easter hit the U.S forcing seven major league postponements in one day. We've even see weather affect the Boston Marathon, NASCAR, golf, tennis, soccer, and spring football on many college campuses. So today we offer what we call Sprinkles, links to sports-weather stories from the past few days that you may have missed.

Nick Saban's debut in Tuscaloosa got off to a wet start.

Rain and lightning delayed a college baseball game between Texas A&M and the University of Houston until late in the morning Tuesday.

"It's probably going to be a long night."
