Ahhhh. Those were the days!

Back then, the Peach Blossoms would arrive at the game (usually in the 2nd qr) in their old pick-up truck and drive it around the Hanson Field track.

Wish the start time was 11 or noon today. Hopefully the bad weather missed or moves through quickly.

It's dry right now (10:00 AM).

Macomb could get 3-4 inches of rain this weekend. The forecast from last night's Weather showed the really heavy rain to start tonight. Maybe we will have a dry window this afternoon for the game.

Supposed to hold off until around 1-2 now. Hopefully it'll be light at least through the game. Kinda need the rain, but not while I'm sitting at Hanson Field.

I put together a post elsewhere of what I could figure out from the 2-deep...

All I really know for sure is the 2-deep for this weekend's game, which shows:
Senior RB Max Norris - out all season so far
Junior RB Vic Johnson - out all season so far
Junior RB Kendon Walker - out last weekend against Montana State, listed as out again this weekend
Senior RB Deontez Thompson - in (minor injury in the UNA game, was out against Colorado State, but back against Montana State last weekend and listed on 2-deep for this weekend)
Senior WR John Brunner - out all season so far, spotted at Montana State game on the sideline in a walking boot
Senior DB Darron Wheeler - out all season (see below)

The only one I've seen posting about things online is DB Darron Wheeler, who had surgery a couple of weeks ago and it doesn't really he'll be back in 2019
