I'm seeing reports of nasty tornados, rainstorms, and gusty winds all weekend in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and I'm not sure if that inclement weather will spill over into Tuesday's bowl game.

If the weather does continue its stormy spell, how does that bode for our passing attack? I think many of us can still remember that disastrous game in Eugene, Oregon, in the rain when Jared Goff was a freshman. No one could hold onto the ball, in particular Goff. I have to think Goff has matured and gained the benefit of experience and accumulated mental toughness now, though.

That said, I think bad weather is a bad portent for us.

Fortunately, the weather forecast currently says no rain in Fort Worth for Tuesday, with the high temperature reaching just above 50 degrees.

Of course, weathermen and weather girls have been wrong before...

For those of you already in Fort Worth visiting for the game, can anyone give a summary of what the weather is currently like around the stadium in Fort Worth?

Yeah, the weather, kick-off time, travel, diversions, injuries, Christmas eating, lay-off from the season, girlfriends, Bush state - we are doomed..Don't bother watching the game.

So does that mean it's currently rainy around the stadium? Or is it cloudy but dry? Or sunny?

Thanks for answering the question, Mr. Know It All who probably isn't even going to the game.

P.s. I am going to the game. Flying out later today. What's your excuse for not going?

It is cold and dry in Houston right now. I'd imagine that cold in Houston means Really Cold in Dallas for the game...which isn't that different than in 2007.

Good football weather.

Tuesday- 52 degrees, partly cloudy

Beary good weather....

Doesn't matter. If Goff is going to be a top pick this is the stage where he HAS to shine. I'm sure everyone remembers what happened in rainy conditions in the past. He has to perform well to eliminate those concerns. The ASU game showed how explosive he is and the one scramble where he evaded would be tacklers to send the ball to Hansen showed he is not a stiff in the pocket.

The stage is set for him. He has to show up and perform.

Someone should tell Goff to put some Aquaphor on his hand an hour or two before the game to soften his dry hand to give him better grip of the football. I'm serious.

I live in Colleyville, 20 miles to the northeast. Right now, the sun is trying to break thru the clouds. The wind is bone chilling and makes it feel much colder than the mid 30s that my car claims. At least the rain has moved on...

Brainsmile, I'm quite sure that the NFL has three years of film on him in all sorts of situations. I don't think their opinion will vary regardless of how he performs

The bowl win is necessary but if Goff is a no-show then we can at least begin to ponder his 2016 senior season.

Stream for game? Will be at work

Will look around tomorrow for a network stream, since I cannot access ESPN3 at work.

Work?????
This is why Citrix was invented. So an employee can "work" from home.

You should be able to stream on watchespn.com (assuming you have ESPN at home).

The weather report for tomorrow says no rain and temps in the 40's with wind up to 8 mph during the game. If I recall correctly Jared threw for 500 yards and 5 TD's the last time he played in weather like this.......(ASU).

Yeah but working with intranets, remote drives, Sharepoint plus the occasional phone call from Ireland gets tricky.

Sounds good. The weather for the WSU bowl game was horrible. Hail at one point and snow coming at 45 degrees. Good thing for the Pac-12 that WSU is more used to that type of weather than Miami.

Worried about the weather is one thing - It's football season! But Goff's hands? Please. Blame his parents.

It should be Cal's coldest game of the year? High of 50...wind isn't too bad, and partly cloudy. Cold there today/tonight.

LOL this made me laugh - thanks for going to the game and representing the fanbase, jaccpot10! Wish I can go myself - but relatively new job and not enough vacation accruals did me in. That's an excuse and I'll own up to it. =(

True but they also had years of film on Vince Young and even though he won a national title and could run like the wind faults are faults and if he doesn't play well in rain and he pretty much has under performed in that condition on average, teams may take note of it.

It's fine to look at his overall portfolio of work but it's not like you ignore what is wrong with a player and just shrug it off.
