"This is a joke," coach Joe Carbone said, straight-faced. "This season's been a joke."
Carbone was none too happy about the constant deluge of rain in Athens over the past month. Standing in the dugout during yesterday's practice, Carbone looked frustrated over what he said was the rainiest spring quarter the Bobcats have dealt with in years.
And that was before yet another of Ohio's mid-week games was canceled.
The Bobcats' 6 p.m. contest with Wright State today was canceled and will not be made up. That makes five games in the past two weeks, and six on the season that have been postponed or canceled due to rain.
As of early this afternoon, Ohio is still set to host Youngstown State tomorrow at 6 p.m., a make-up game from last Tuesday. But tomorrow's forecast calls for scattered showers.
Last week, both of the Bobcats' mid-week games, against the Penguins and Ohio State, were not played. Before that, an April 22 game at Bowling Green was postponed and an April 19 game with Cincinnati at Bob Wren Stadium was canceled.
