Assuming Tomorrow’s Game is Cancelled

The difference was that was a night game. They're calling for scattered thunderstorms all day and the game starts at 11. They will continuously push this game back and delay it as many times as possible (like the Iowa game) until they can get in at least a half of football (a half must be played to count).

The teams and universities know this could get delayed, so they're going to be prepared for those delays by stocking up on extra food for their players to eat if there was a long delay. With how everything went down last year, Pollard is going to get this game in one way or another.

The forecast is calling for thunderstorms in the morning but then scattered in the afternoon. There's actually a pretty good chance that after the initial storms / rain, it clears up for enough time to start the game and get in the amount of time needed.
I am hearing reports that Stanley ate so much food during last week's delay, that they are having trouble getting their vendors to find available food sources.

Can anyone else remember any other weather delayed games in modern history? Like since 1985 which is as far back as I can remembrer.

Those are the ones I remember, and I go back to 1975. And even high school games seemed to "play on" no matter the weather until something like the 1990s at the earliest. Weather seemed to only halt baseball and track meets.

It's the great softening of America. Personally, I blame the growing popularity of soccer.

Another anti-all-day-tailgate-all-night-too post. Cripes it is going into delay so settle down and enjoy! "Dear Mom" we can handle our booze and get more if we run out. Bring on the lightening. Party on!

1. And tell me how many delays in the history of Iowa state football. I’ll tell you—-4. 2 last week, 1 last year that ended up cancelled, and I think 1 before the Kansas game started 2 years ago. That’s a bad, bad trend.
Obviously, Campbell running out of steam.

I bet that year we play in the desert in Vegas there is a god damn monsoon.

Going way-back, it rained when ISU played at San Diego State in 1981 (at least at the beginning of the game, if memory is accurate).

Considering how the game went, that would've been a good time for a weather cancellation.
