Adios Longhorns

El Nino is being merciless, away down there off the coast of Peru, so it looks like Mr. B. and his Tiger Cub buds will not be making a Longhorns practice for the fourth Thursday in a row. Because the field at DK-Royal-Memorial Stadium will be soggy again and they’ll move the practice inside where there is no seating for cubs and parents. Oh, well, it was a cool invite. And there’s always next week, maybe, after Oklahoma State, which might be another Tech, or worse.

From the Austin-San Antonio National Weather Service Forecast Center in New Braunfels.

Wednesday Night: A 40 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 61. East northeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Thursday: A 50 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 71. Northeast wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Rainwise, El Nino is being merciful. Spacing it out like this–midweek now for four weeks–means we haven’t had a flash flood yet. Of course, we haven’t had a lot of rain, either, and the lakes/reservoirs are still way down.

  1. Too bad the weather will not cooperate. With no good baseball or pro football teams, I quess you just have to go see a college team practice. Spring for some tickets for a game.

  2. The forecast has changed, with rain chances reduced, so it may come off, afterall. However, seeing UT practice is not a letdown around here, but a preferred option. If we want to watch a pro team we can go to Dallas or Houston, so we don’t feel deprived.
