caveman99 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I HIGHLY doubt that conditions will be so bad that the game can't be played. Unless there is a danger of lightning, but in those cases the officials usually just delay play until the lightning has subsided.Here is the rule for suspended play as outlined by NCAA guidelines. When the game is stopped by actions of a person(s) not subject to the rules or for any other reasons not in the rules and cannot continue, the referee shall: 1. Suspend play and direct the players to their team areas. 2. Refer the problem to those responsible for the game’s management. 3. Resume the game when he determines conditions are satisfactory. c. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b before the end of the fourth period and cannot be resumed, conference policy shall determine whether the game will be resumed at a later date, terminated or forfeited (and the final score). If no conference policy is applicable to both teams, the directors of athletics at the participating institutions or their designees, in consultation with the coaches, shall determine whether the game will be resumed at a later date, terminated or forfeited (and the final score if the game is terminated) (Rule 8-1-2). d. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b after four periods of play and cannot be resumed, the game shall be ruled a tie. The final score shall be the score at the end of the last completed period. (Note: If a winner must be determined in a conference playoff game, conference policy shall determine when and where the game will be resumed.) e. A suspended game, if resumed, will begin with the same time remaining and under the identical conditions of down, distance, field position and player eligibility. f. The referee’s discretionary timeout also applies to the following situations: 1. When there is undue delay by officials in placing the ball for the next snap (A.R. 3-3-3-I). 2. When there is a consultation with team captains. 3. When conditions warrant temporary suspension. What the Big 12 rule is? I don't know, and this is as much research as I'm going to put into it right now. But historically, refs are very unlikely to stop or suspend a game unless absolutely necessary. This happened for the Auburn-WVU game earlier this year. They just started the game later is all. Quote Link to comment

WCHusker Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's not a grass field, so it won't be muddy. As far as being wet....you tell me Quote Link to comment

Fuzzy Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 im not concerned about the condition of the field, but rather fumbles and incompletions with a wet ball out there. Everyone bring your rain gear, lol. and when you come back to nebraska, bring your winter coats, we might be seeing some snow up here, lol. Quote Link to comment
Tiger of the Corn Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Fixed Ok, I felt kinda bad after that, so I decided to make a tiger one too. Oh my God those are funny. Even though you're crackin' on my Tigers, it's still funny. Kudos. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Rain typically favors the running game and slows the passing game. If Nebraska is able to stack the box against the run and let the weather take care of the passing game, I doubt Missouri scores 10 points. mizzou has had some great passing days in rain. Rain doesnt bother me as much as wind. Bowling Green? Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Oh man if they delay the game due to lighting they'll be playing till friday morning. How many games in history have spanned two days? Quote Link to comment
