At my age now, I might like that....kinky haha.

I’m just wondering if they’re going to call the game entirely.

So who says it has to be resumed 3 hours from the last play? If I remember, last year some game scheduled for 11 resumed 6-8 hours later

 

We're not gonna resume play 4 in the morning. You cancel it now and negotiate an opportunity to play tomorrow even though tomorrow doesn't look all that much better.

Agree 100%.  Need a "tune up" game to see what we are about.

On the other hand, I'd love to think the team would be so pissed at waiting another week they just come out and brutalize the buffs...

My biggest concern is the safety of the players. You CANNOT take this risk if we're getting nailed with rain. AM might just get that freak knee injury that we can't afford. They need to call this. If I'm Frost, live to fight another day.

I don't really want them to play in the rain either. It's a recipe for an upset or like you say, injuries.

Michigan's new QB looks worse than the old one.

He doesn't look bad, he's hitting some passes better than O'Korne but their defense is not as good as they hoped and they have zero run game.

10/11 just tweeted that the lightning delay reset again. 

 

Looks like we'll have to make due with schadenfreude  via Michigan and Texas, and hope Frost has these men in fightin' form for Colorado...who actually didn't look half bad vs. CSU this week.

Probably depends on the radar and what time the game will resume. The next break looks to be around 2 AM. You can't keep everyone there that late. If it were an 11 AM game, it would be a different story.

No surprise. My guess is we try and agree to play tomorrow at say 1 or 2 and if it doesn't work it will be cancelled. This stinks.

On the bright side, it will be another week for Bunch to get reps as #2 without being called upon for duty yet.

I probably spent $1000 for tickets, 2 hotel rooms, and a rental car to drive 8 hours with my son to not see a game. This really sucks...and even if the play the game after 11 as kids are not going to stay up that late. They should have said screw national coverage and move the game up. At this point I am hoping they call it and reschedule for early tomorrow.

The only reason football should stop is because of lightning...Fogbowl...anyone remember that one? The announcers couldn't even seen the field. Referees couldn't see from sideline to sideline. And yet they still played. Rain shmain, get out there and play!

 

Some fields drain great but after getting drilled with so much water it's dangerous to even play. Referees will even recommend to the coaches that player safety is at a major risk. This happened during the Florida-Idaho game they ended up calling it.

I think i'm going to go drink with the neighbor now.  The wife's giving me grief about "oh yeah we couldn't go out, the game isn't even on right now, they aren't playing yet".  I'm now up that crick and I may be in the doghouse.

I wanted Bunch to play the entire 2nd half tonight. I was planning on a 50 point lead at the half.
