Corporal Funishment {l Wrote}:The game was played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. With lightning and rain expected to plague the area for the foreseeable future, the game got canceled. Jarmond said the next wave of lightning strikes was projected to be “five times bigger” than the one that originally halted the game.
“The main cell that was going to hit was supposed to be around 3 p.m. That was going to be late in the second half so we thought we would be fine,” Jarmond said. “The weather we saw was not initially going to hit us. It shifted with the wind and it hit us. If that doesn’t happen, I think we’re OK. That was a game-changer. And when I learned the one coming at 3 p.m. was five times bigger with 350 lightning strikes, that was all I needed to hear.”
A college football game takes 3 hours to play. The "main cell" was projected to hit 1.5 hours after kickoff, and therefore Jarmond "thought we would be fine."
Either everyone involved in this game is a complete idiot, or no one could be bothered to care.
WTF

Also Incase anyone was wondering Boise state was similar talent level to umass, probably a little slower. They know they dodged a bullet.

So happy and proud to be part of @BCFootball. Boise walked out of the locker room smiling, we didn’t have one happy face. True competitors.
I was expecting tweets bashing his time at BC or something. These are not an embarrassment.

Not something that warrants "Good riddance"

Are you fucking kidding me? Go take a Midol.
My guess is Basque State talked shit during the game. They certainly talked shit before, during and after the Potato Bowl. Fuck those guys and fuck anyone who is offended by Strachan shitting on the team that once insulted The King of Africa.

It's being played at what should've been the contingency plan for this game.
RegalBCeagle {l Wrote}:HJS, you need to change your signature to read "7-5-no contest .... and lovin' it." No need to unfairly treat Daz. If you want to be really nice about it, it could be more like "8ish and 5
... and lovin it" since we held the lead.
HJS {l Wrote}:We're probably getting more mileage out of the cancellation than if we won.

All predicted BC spin aside... moving this game earlier by an hour (or 90 minutes) should've been the call. All gameday staff would have already been in place... all security, concessions, whatnot. ESPN was televising nothing at noon and could've easily adjusted as well. Email blasts could have easily been sent to all those who purchased tickets. Social media would've likely gotten to all those who purchased tix on the secondary market.
They still ultimately may have had to cancel the game. But, this would've at least shown some basic attempt to get it in before Mother Nature intervened. By doing absolutely nothing to adjust to the imminent, the bowl proved its irrelevance..
gallopingghost {l Wrote}:The game should not have been called off. The lightning threat could have been dealt with given that there was ample lead time to plan for it. Just have enough people hold a two iron into the air.
