Bloomington Weather
The weather today in Bloomington is supposed to be windy (10 mph) with a 30% chance of rain. IME this will benefit Michigan's defense by limiting the downfield success of Chappel. In turn, this shouldn't affect Michigan's offense the way it will Indiana's.
What does the MGoCommunity think?

Will it be a fast rain or a slow rain?

Denard is too fast to be touched by a rain drop!

It will be a death rain.

Big ole fat rain
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
Little bittie stinging rain
October 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 PM ^
and it even rains at night.

It will be chubby rain.

Well, this is Big Ten rain, so it's a little slow.

That weather seems pretty normal for the Midwest in the fall. I don't think it will prove to be any advantage for either team. Now maybe if that was 50MPH wind that only blew during Indiana's offensive possessions and always towards them... then we'd be talking.

The weather may be normal for the Midwest, but it is not ideal for downfield passing.

If it really starts raining hard it might help us. If that doesn't happen, I think both teams will be able to execute their offenses just fine.

If that wind blows the smog from Gary make sure Denard gets oxygen.

10 mph can hardly be called "windy." I'm not sure what forecast you looked at, but the NWS forecast says "wind between 14 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph." That seems slightly more problematic for downfield passing (not to mention field goals).

Maybe the wind will push our wide field goals in the right direction
October 2nd, 2010 at 12:55 PM ^
One can hope!
But the NWS forecast has now been changed to "North wind between 10 and 13 mph," so it doesn't seem like the wind will be much of a factor.

Maybe the wind will keep us from attempting field goals at all.

Bloomington weather according to Yahoo:
TODAY: Cloudy with occasional rain showers. High 63F. Winds N at 10 to 20 mph. Chance of rain 50%.
TONIGHT: A shower is possible early. A few clouds. Low 39F. Winds N at 10 to 15 mph.
Seems we've had many dark and cloudy Big Ten games so far this season and we're only 5 weeks in.

if it starts pouring and Gerg's beautiful hair is reduced to this....

It is currently raining (12:30) but based on radar it looks like the front will be passed by kickoff or shortly thereafter. Stupid Bloomingon. I moved here about 2.5 months ago for my husband's post-doc job and I can count on one hand the number of times it has actually rained since I've been here. Eveything has been brown for at least the last month. The one time I would have liked a dry day the rain comes.
