Hey there, all
you readers of The Rainout Blog.
Have you
missed me?
You know, I've
closed this blog more times than I can count.
Don't get me
wrong, I love coming to this space and writing short, little posts about the
rainy, muddy, snow, foggy, whatever action in a given particular sport –
especially baseball – but with a family, a long-flippin' commute and that place
that employs me – I'm very grateful; thank you employer – I miss out on a lot
of sports weather items.
It seems I'm
really busiest with personal commitments when big events – you know, like
hurricane and blizzards – occur.
And days like
today, when I have a few minutes of free time to write, what do we have? The
BCS title game… in Miami.
Nothing
weathery – is that a word? – to report from Miami, although I did hear some
radio personality this morning say there was a slight drizzle. And a quick
check on Weather.com shows a 20 percent chance of rain for tonight. Dandy!
A big part of the
appeal, if there is one, of The Rainout Blog is not my words, of course, but
the spectacular sports weather-related photos I swipe gather from the
Internet. I'm guessing if any rain falls on the turf in Miami tonight, it will
not be enough to make for outstanding, must-see sports weather photography.
It'l be
nothing that'll make you say, "I gotta check The Rainout Blog."
But, if we're
lucky, there will be enough of a rain to produce a lovely beaded coating on
those blinding, golden dome Notre Dame helmets.
By the way, I
know you've been begging for my pick of tonight's game, so here goes: Notre
Dame will play like a champion today tonight and roll over the Tide (corny),
22-9.
