it's a nationally televised game. if you think moving start time up is an option, then you don't understand how tv works.

 

 

Like I’ve said if TV $ wasn’t an issue this game would start at 2pm.

How does a 2 hour lightening delay work then? Will the world wait with us?

Yeah. At least it looks like we could get the first half in before it starts storming.

How poetic that The Frost era begin with a storm.

There is no TV money if the game is not played. Something has to give.

Yes. Have you watched any other sports weather delay before?

Just arrived in Lincoln after an 8 hour drive and really wishing this was a 2:30 game now. It would be great if lightning could hold off until 9 or 10.

I wonder how late they'd go. I can see them delaying it at 8pm and starting again at 10pm and not cancelling. But when it gets to be midnight I'd think you'd throw in the towel.

Storms now forcasted for 10pm. Outlook is more positive.

I guess the Ohio State game is good template.  At what point do they say who cares?

I wonder how dependent it is on the score. If you've got a tie game I can see them just having it end in a tie (which would suck for the team that's more likely to get its s#!t together and make it a blowout). If it's 14-13... that'd be rough. If it's 28-0, I can see both teams being fine to end it.

Thank God we have a run oriented quarterback.  Maybe we can get this sucker over in under 3 hours.

I was thinking the same thing. Three minutes left, a one point game, and a lightening delay with a forecast for lightening to continue for 5 hours. I am not worried though, we should be up by 28 mid-way through the first quarter.

At the least I want us to have 1 quarter of no rain so, if we're capable of it, we can score 2-3 TDs to put it away. A rainy game always benefits the s#!tty team because it's harder for both teams to score.

There is a lot of time until kickoff, but one hopeful sign right now is that the potential for (northwest moving) SEVERE weather is south and just east of Lincoln:

 

The precip in south central Nebraska right now is making the gunpowder wet.

Everyone breathe toward the south/southeast.
