It's now looking like that game might not be played - key word being MIGHT. I write that here because Utah State was scheduled to play Utah Valley today at 4 p.m. but that game has been cancelled due to weather in Logan. I took a look at the weather forecast for Logan and it is calling for rain and snow all the way thru today's scheduled game time. I also looked at Logan's forecast for tomorrow and it doesn't look like it will have the same conditions, i.e., no rain & snow predicted. But the temp is forecasted to be 40 to 42 degrees from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday.

It should also be noted that Idaho State softball's coaching staff has former Boise State softball assistant coach Andrew Rich as their head coach and former Boise State stars Rebekah Cervantes and Kelsey Broadus as assistant coaches.

That Idaho State vs. Utah State game today has not YET been cancelled but the latest weather forecast for Logan, UT., is saying the temp will be 37 degrees F and the "Feels Like" is listed as 32 degrees F at 2 p.m. today in Logan. They'd be better off to wait till 4 p.m. as the forecast is saying the temp will be up to 40 degrees then. The "Feels Like" forecast for 4 p.m. is listed at 35 degrees F.

I mention all of this because there is a rule in the MWC that specifies that if the "Feels Like" temperature is BELOW 32 degrees the game will be cancelled.

My guess is this game will be cancelled.

P.S. Idaho State has had 17 games cancelled so far this season. Utah State has had 7 games cancelled or postponed so far this season. The postponed game was vs. Idaho State.

I learn something every day that the MWC can't play in below 32 degrees. This unusually cold spring has cancelled a lot of games for northwestern teams.

I think you misunderstood what I wrote here. I'll try again. The 3rd game Boise State played vs Colorado State was cancelled because of this very rule and that rule states that IF the "FEELS LIKE" temperature listing is below 32 degrees (not the actual temperature itself) then the game will not be played. The temperature might be 40 degrees but if the wind and humidity leads to the "feels like" temperature being 31 (or less) then the game won't be played. As I recall the wind that day - for the 3rd CSU game vs BSU - was about 14 or 15 mph. I can't recall what the temp was but the "feels like" temp was - apparently - below 32 degrees.

Game was played. Utah State got hits early and it was over fast (run rule) for Idaho State.

Yep. I watched that game till Utah State hit the grand slam and led 7-1 at that point. Figured it was over after that.

I understood what you wrote. I was trying to be short in my reply.
