1st HALF GAME THREAD!

- Start date
Any chance this game could get played tomorrow?
So, I guess the next stadium renovation will be a dome. Because apparently you can't have games in September without thunderstorms.
In my roughly 40 years of watching Nebraska football I have never seen a lightning delay on opening day. Not ever.

That would be ideal! It's labor day weekend.
Doubtful, especially being a holiday weekend. It takes a lot of people and logistics to put on a game for 90,000 people.
Where's Bill Murray? I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff is gonna come down for awhile!!
I don’t care if they don’t allow a single fan in for the game .... we need every win we can get and the Colorado game is going to be even tougher without a game under our belt
They’ll do everything they can to get a game in tonight. Even if it means playing past midnight.
A few years ago the Vandals had something like a 2 1/2 hour rain delay when we were playing in Florida. It was awful - the game stopped/started and was finally called off.
There was a lightning delay during the 1991 opener vs. Utah State.
Later that season, the temperature vs. Colorado was near Zero. (Remember the snowballs as NU tried a field goal to win the game?)
The Oklahoma game was played in 33 degree weather with intermittent heavy rain.

We need all the wins we can get. Hope they find a way to play this one even if they have to start it at midnight
I'm not talking about fans. It takes hundreds workers to put on a college football game, many of which probably have plans for the Holiday weekend tomorrow. Also, Akron probably doesn't have hotel rooms booked for tonight, and they probably have a charter plane set to depart tonight.
And the forecast for tomorrow is just as bad.
Off topic here... I hate when commercials are in sync when trying to flip between games...
Yep. This game is getting cancelled. So much for a “warm up” game before the Buffs come to town. Not good.
I’m assuming this game will be cancelled and not made up.
Here's what happened to us in 2014.
University of Florida Athletics Director Jeremy Foley and University of Idaho Athletics Director Rob Spear have agreed that Saturday night’s game has been declared a no contest and that not rescheduling the game is the only viable option for both programs.
The two schools, however, have agreed to schedule a game in Gainesville for the 2017 season on a date to be determined later. (yeah, it never was rescheduled.)
Florida will fulfill the terms of the contract between the two schools and pay Idaho its $975,000 guarantee by February 1, 2015, as outlined in the agreement.
Bottom line - Idaho got the $$ so they were happy.

I will stay up all night to watch this, but I’d rather not stay up all night just to have them cancel
Just seen a local weather alert cut in on another channel and the lightning is ongoing.
