It’s that time for the most exciting weekend of Bulldog football of the season, as far as outside events go. Not only do we have SEC Nation coming into town, but we also have the 2014 Bulldog Bash happening in the Cotton District. Now for those of you who don’t know what Bulldog Bash is, it’s basically a set of concerts set up in the Cotton District on Friday night. Preceding the concerts are a multitude of events. You start off with the Maroon Market which is basically a big outdoor shopping event (for you women out there reading this). At the same time, we have the Grill your Bash Off competition which will pit some of the best grill-masters out there for a chance to win 4 VIP passes for the Bulldog Bash concerts. After those events have wound down, we roll right into the Dawg Rally. Dan Mullen will be coming in to pump up the Bulldog faithful before Saturday’s clash against the #8 Texas A&M Aggies. Lastly, at 7 PM the concerts begin. These concerts will last until approximately 11:30 PM. Just in time for the faithful to go home, sleep it off for a couple of hours, then head back to Davis Wade for one of the biggest games of the year (aren’t they all, though?).

So with this being such a monumental set of events, I figured it deserved its own forecast, because why not? Let’s be honest here, no one wants their night at Bulldog Bash to be ruined by Mother Nature. That’s no fun to be at a concert and drinking certain beverages while it’s raining. Outdoor concerts when it’s raining is even worse, because most of the time the concert is cancelled with rain. Luckily, it doesn’t look like that will happen late enough to affect the festivities. So let me give you my forecast numbers for Friday afternoon and into Friday night.
