Watching the notre Dame and a and m game while waiting. A and m coach coaches offense about like Stoops.

Yeah, I expecting cancellation at this point.

If the southern miss coach is adamant but (Stoops perspective) my team/players were wanting to get out there and play…I’d tell the SoMiss coach we’ll accept a forfeit or we play the game

Which is exactly what I would do. And make it very clear that's what happened.

Nobody can control the weather, but as that's starting to clear, it's sounding like cold feet from some folks.

Weather is starting to clear. Now, if the South Miss coach is adamant he doesn't want to play, so be it. But, I'd imagine both coaches would want to try to reschedule at least. Can't imagine why it can't be played tomorrow.

If they leave without playing I hope we don't pay them a dime. They know they are likely taking an ass whoopin and are trying to get paid without having to take the L.... IMO.

JimboBBN · 2024-08-31T21:26:41-0400

It stopped raining in Louisville an hour ago. Start at 10 and get it over with tonight. Good grief.

This. You can cancel and not get paid. You can forfeit and get paid. Or we can play

Our Commissioner is a joke. He let UNC skate on severe academic violations (he was head of the infractions committee at that time).

He won't allow it more than likely.

StubbornPenny · 2024-08-31T21:28:48-0400

I’m here. Probably 7000 have left. They reconvene at 9:35 and decide what to do next.

Yep. Or at least not pay them as much. Cover their travel expenses and say see ya.

JHB4UK · 2024-08-31T21:29:30-0400

Playing tomorrow sounds easy to all of us.

Shifting travel and additional hotel stat for over 200 players/coaches/support personnel 24 hrs, plus 1 18 wheeler of equipment, ain't easy nor cheap on a holiday weekend.

He already allowed it.

UKWildcats1987 · 2024-08-31T21:30:00-0400

Not sure why all of you are blaming Southern miss here if it doesn't get played. If it's due to a sec rule as many are stating.

Sec network just said sec commissioner gave them an exemption to play later . The rule is they can't play football past 1:30 am

BC_Wader · 2024-08-31T21:30:43-0400

It's feeling as if you can only see lightning within that 8 mile radius.

hmt5000 · 2024-08-31T21:31:45-0400

Crowd still looks pretty good.

That's good news. Sounds like we will get some late night football. Fine with me and a cool once in a lifetime UK football viewing experience.

KYExtemper · 2024-08-31T21:32:24-0400

Sounds like tonight is going to be SEC After Dark

That’s for baseball per John Clay.

Hey @Old_Red I just made my prediction in the thread I figured I wasn’t late since the game is being delayed anyway.

It's fine. I am waiting and watching. I'll cut off predictions when they finally actually kick off.

StubbornPenny · 2024-08-31T21:35:32-0400

Crowd is still hype and behaving with nothing but music and lights to entertain us

blue cincy · 2024-08-31T21:35:44-0400

New UK tradition starting tonight....Football Madness: Start time at Midnight. lol

bbncal02 · 2024-08-31T21:37:11-0400

Apparently 1:30 am is the absolute limit, but that MUST have Sankey's approval.

Phil_The_Music · 2024-08-31T21:37:42-0400

Reminds me of the Arkansas game that went into a million overtimes. That was a late one.

bbncal02 · 2024-08-31T21:39:20-0400

KICKOFF AT 10:05 EST according to UK Athletics.

Barring any further interference from Mother Nature.

BC_Wader · 2024-08-31T21:39:40-0400

10:05 KO now

UKBlueBlood · 2024-08-31T21:40:13-0400

Maybe they can just play the game with a running clock, LOL.

bbncal02 · 2024-08-31T21:41:23-0400

They have to have 15 minutes for half and warmup, but I'd imagine everything else will be cut as slim as possible. lol

Ugoff · 2024-08-31T21:42:00-0400

This is starting to feel like an old school tape delay game

SEC network stated Sankey's gave exemption for this game. It can be played if teams are willing.

bbncal02 · 2024-08-31T21:44:10-0400

Man, @MattJonesKSR is gonna have a LATE post game call in show. Could be 2AM EST

JimboBBN · 2024-08-31T21:44:23-0400

LFG. Still get UK football tonight

JHB4UK · 2024-08-31T21:44:35-0400

Thank God adult beverages are being sold to the responsible fans tonight!!!!

LET'S GO CATS!

SEC Said Stoops was good with shorter time to warmup and no entrance or anything like that. Just wants to play the game.

TheKentuckyKid · 2024-08-31T21:45:39-0400

10:05

He gets paid the big bucks so he can handle it.

I won't be listening anyways but am curious of the level of callers at that hour lol.

Yeah, no entrances was said earlier by Barnhart. Let's get this season going!

blue cincy · 2024-08-31T21:46:45-0400

If I had my 10 inch black and white small TV I would swear we are back in 77 and getting ready to watch the 11:30pm replay. lol
Mom and Dad did not allow us to stay up (downstairs) that late. So I had to watch in my bedroom. All I had was that small tv. Could hardly make out the plays.

I always love to listen to post games, esp the late ones. The drunk calls are QUITE high at that hour.

Please stop with this. I hate the NCAA but they don't control academic fraud unless the school admits that it happened.

Our commissioner is a joke without throwing UNC in there.
