Change of plans.

The National Weather Service issued a "winter storm watch" for Tulsa, and the league decided to cancel the games this weekend.

So...make sure you cancel your hotel reservation. I'm told you have until 4pm Friday to do that, but why wait? Same with air travel and rental car if you had one.

Try to keep your Saturday open, we may schedule a friendly with the '99 or '01 girls.

Now, what's cooler than being cool?

ICE COLD!

In case you haven't looked at the forecast, it is supposed to be very cold in Tulsa this weekend. Bone chilling cold. Houston-would-shut-down-completely cold.

The lows are going to be in the teens, the highs below freezing. It's supposed to snow on Friday and perhaps Saturday and Sunday too.

Now...take that with a grain of salt. Forecasts are always wrong on some level. It's been said you could take all the economists in the world, and all the meteorologists in the world and have them swap jobs, and no one would notice. However, we should plan on the worst case scenario.

In addition to your full kit, and including the long sleeve jersey, I would recommend some sort of base layer. Gloves and a hat will be important. If your daughter plays a position where she is expected to make throw-ins, make sure the gloves have some sort of grip.

Off the field, staying warm will be a priority. Make sure you bring the warm-up suit at a bare minimum. I would think while sitting on the bench, you'll want at least one extra layer. Substitution rules are different in NPL - once you come out, you can't go back in for that half. We will have fewer substitutions.

Just as a reminder, 6:00-8:00 PM today and Wednesday.
