A Sea Of Red

Was a big dumb mistake.

They were afraid of the weather.

I know that BUT there was hardly a cloud or any threat hat night. They panicked because it rained the night before. Storms happen around here. BFD

Well if they had kept it as originally planned and a storm HAD hit during the ceremony, would you still be complaining that they didn't have a contingency plan and that would still be a "big dumb mistake"?

Regardless of Opening Ceremonies, I had opportunity to watch softball, along with boys basketball and girls basketball over the weekend. I was impressed with the amount of good young talent I saw. (12-14 year olds). Hopefully these games will pay off with some recruits down the road.

I overheard some parents talking at softball stadium, saying what an honor it was to play at LU. They also commented on how easy it was to get to LU.

Per usual, people forget about the back-end work that it takes to make those ceremonies possible. It's a gamble whether it's opening ceremonies or outdoor concerts. It's better to err on the safe side than the other.
