Just got to PITTSBURGH. Oh boy. (1 Viewer)

[trujm]

Wow, this is just my luck: I schedule this huge vacation centering around this away game. We stopped in Atlantic City, it rained the whole drive up there. It rained 65% of the time we were there. Now, we're in Pittsburgh - we got here last night and...... more rain.

We WERE optimistic because we checked the weather forecast and it said that there was only a 10% chance of rain on Sunday on THURSDAY. I checked it last night, and it had increased to 30%. I checked it this morning, and it is now 60% and hour by hour it says it will be raining until 6pm.

See how my luck runs? Its raining every moment im on vacation but the second that the meaningful part of my vacation is over (after the game), it will clear up. And on top of that, its going to be 45 degrees outside in this rain. So its not only rain, its going to be cold rain. I've always wanted to go to a game in the snow, but its just a FEW degrees too hot to snow. They said two days ago it would snow but they took that back too and said it wasnt cold enough to do that.

Could I be in a worse situation?

The Saints lose? j/k. Seriously, I hope you do enjoy your vacation and the game, and meet Drew Brees for congradulating him another big win.

You could not get to see the Saints play at all.

I am sure a win will make the situation a whole lot better.

Here's hoping the Saints win.

Relax man, you're on vacation!

That's classic football weather! What's the problem?! Gotta roll with it when things like that happen. Hope the Saints make it a rainy day you'll never forget.

TRUJM,

dont feel bad. my honeymoon was on the weekend of the Ravens game.

Naaaa... so many times really good times start out bad... this will just make your story more interesting. After reading your post, I have a really good feeling about this. Have a great time in Pittsburgh. You'll never forget it.

Get wasted. Right now.

Get you some Iron City Beer, a Primanti Bros. sandwich and enjoy Pittsburgh. Wish I could be back there to see the Saints beat the Steelers.

For real....check out some of the local Italian restaurants. They are some of THE BEST anywhere.

Ahhh my home for the first 22 years of my life...Pennsylvania...whenever you make plans for stuff like that it always rains...three are demons in PA...lolBut seriously this sonds familiar. One summer after college a few friends and I went to Ocean City, NJ which is close to Atlantic City and it rained the whole time (in fact flooding the streets and we were stuck in the house.

You should have stopped by Jim Thorpe in the Poconos...my hometown. Theres a lot of touristy stuff there! Anyway, hope you enjoy the game...my bro is a Steelers fan so if we win I get bragging rights for another few years.

Man, yu are going to have to do one of two things. Cheer up, or (for the sake of the rest of us saints fans) get out of pittsburgh NOW. While I am proud of you and happy for you that you took this trip, i really don't think it would be fair of you to bring this awful vacation mojo to the stadium. Think about your brethren! Think of the poor waitresses that wont get as good a tip on monday because everryone is bummed, think of the poor old lady who wont get the door opened for her. Some say it is just football, no man, this is the fabric of our society. Where would our economy be if little old ladies couldn't get into stores to buy cat litter, and poor waitresses can't afford lunch!


That said. Cheer up dude!!! While we bemoan our running game, the stillers are actually worse. There is a great chance that a bad weather game could be a plus for the saints. The stillers are not executing well, they will execute worse in bad weather. It could be the thing we need to really get it going against a desperate team.
