For Once, Common Sense
This post should have been made yesterday, I’ll admit that. I have experienced one of the extremely few times that to my knowledge a school has ever made a “common sense” decision. Now, what is this decision you might ask? Well, there were two baseball games scheduled for tomorrow at UTD. We have lots of doubleheaders this season, so nothing strange about that. The weather tomorrow though is supposed to have a high in the mid-30s with a Winter Storm Warning in effect starting tonight. This meant that one of two thigs was going to happen: 1) We’d all go out there and freeze in the cold for about 5-6 hours (not top on my list, but I’m used to that), or 2) The weather would end up forcing the games to be cancelled. Ah, but there’s an Option B which was actually exercised for once which was proactively moving the games to yesterday afternoon instead. Ok, you argue, so was yesterday really that much of a better option? Considering it was a nice low 80s temperature outside with a slight breeze, I’d have to go with a “yes”. 80s to 30s in less than 24 hours, now that’s the epitome of weather in Texas.
