**USC vs. Auburn GAME #1 Thread**

[Cocklover]

I have a pretty good feeling that, YET AGAIN, this game won't get played because of weather. Rain is in the forecast all day and through most of the night.


South Carolina (28-9, 8-7 SEC) returns to SEC play this weekend with a three-game series at Auburn (21-17, 6-9 SEC). First pitch for the opener is 7 p.m. ET on Friday. Saturday's game will be televised on CBS Sports Network with a first pitch at 5 p.m. ET. Sunday's series finale is 2 p.m. ET on CSS. All three games can be heard on the Gamecock IMG Network including flagship station, 107.5 FM, "The Game."

South Carolina is ranked No. 6 by the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll, No. 9 by Perfect Game, No. 11 by Baseball America and No. 15 by Collegiate Baseball.

Officials are monitoring the weather and will review an updated forecast for tonight's game at noon today. (which is 1:00 our time)

GO COCKS!!!

[FilchCock]

Ugh, we are underwater here in Auburn and it isn't letting up any time soon. I can't go to the game anyway since the one time I get a chance to see the Cocks in Auburn I have an out-of-town wedding.....not cool.

I'm so tired of all this freaking rain.

The field has no chance to be in enough shape to play today guys.

With our injuries and greiners thumb etc.. this makes our life really hard having a double header.

It'd be a miracle if this gets played today. :(

Now with that said, the rain is about to be here in Columbia.. I need to go save my seedlings I sat outside so they don't get washed out, lol.

I'm pretty sure the rain will be gone by tonight in Auburn, BUT, like you said the field will probably be in terrible condition. I'll update here within the hour on any news I hear out of Auburn, they are supposed to be announcing soon what the plans are.

I have their twitter up. It looks like banding from hurricanes over that way currently. There is no way the field can work out.

I've been made a fool of before over this stuff though! I'm wondering what happens if we can't play tonight and tomorrow's game is supposed to be on CBS? Do we just play game 1 around 1 or 2.. then let CBS still show game #2 at 5PM our time?

That's probably what they would do...start the first game at Noon or 1:00, then still have the second game at 5:00.

Just heard on 107.5 The Game that there is a big possibility that there will be a doubleheader tomorrow. The first game would be at Noon (I believe our time because they said 11:45 they would be on the radio).

Nothing is definite yet. I'll let you all know.

Well considering they have the "12PM" time already that makes sense. Another day of rest for those pitchers we used mid week isn't necessarily a bad thing I guess.

Man...... I need to get a life...... so looking forward to getting a look at Byron, and get back on the winning track!

RAINED OUT. Doubleheader beginning at Noon tomorrow (our time).
