Officials have final say. I don't think there's a "length of game" rule to make it an official game.
Yep. Take a crack or two like he has tonight against Georgia or Texas and he might never walk again. It's one thing to stick your neck out there for your team in crunch time. It's another to throw your season or career away for an extra yard when every defender wants nothing more than to get their shining moment rocking the QB.
I guess if you really had to bitch about something, no matter how stupid it is
Bit of both. O-line coach was also awful.
Are there any NCAA or SEC rules that cover this situation?
My take is our receivers looks like idiots with their mouth guards flapping around. I feel like it’s a tell as well. This guys isn’t running a slant he isn’t worried about getting popped in the middle of the field
Since we are not in the fourth qtr, technically the game could be called off and consider a no contest. It has to get to that point to be considered "complete" by the NCAA. However, the head ref has final say.
There's tons of moisture in the air and plenty of heat energy to feed these storms. It's almost unbelievable, but it's what happens when you have days of extreme August humid heat mixed with a shot of arctic air. I can't remember the last time that central Kentucky got hit by pop-up thunderstorms again and again like it has tonight. Just insane.
ADs, Coaches etc all get a say….its ultimately the officials call.
The rules are vague such as “early in the game it could result in a cancellation with the result thrown out. Later in the game with the game trending in a direction then it can be called for a particular team.” So they likely wouldn’t call a close in-conference game…instead they’d postpone and finish the next day or try to wait it out.
But I think that last TD prob pushed us far enough ahead that they’ll give us the W imo. Especially since each team got a possession in the 2nd half and we stopped them then scored quick
And here in WKY, we've barely got a misting. We need rain badly.
I believe the rule is that once the game is this far in and the outcome is likely known, the teams can agree to call a winner without finishing. Since the game is underway I don't think the question of payment to the other team is in question. If it's more than a 30 minute delay, Southern Miss should agree to call UK the winner and let everyone go home.
We're up by 5 TD's. We should be gifted the win. However, it's the officials final call.
Un-f-n believable. The storm is BUILDING. There's no sun actively fueling this crap. It's literally warmth from the earth's surface feeding this thing.
I got about 25 beers in me, I'll ride this out until 5 am if I got too lol
THat and the moisture in the air. I know it's been "cooler" today, but the humidity has been the worst it's been all week. Even when it was so hot on Tuesday-Thursday it was still cool in the shade. Today has been AWFUL. The air has been thick.
Having lived in the Murray area for years, you'll get nothing and like it. Want snow? You get ice. Want rain? Get a sprinkler. Farmers want to get corn in the ground? Best of luck – record flooding in April, May, June... Oh yeah, and beaver ponds.
WKY is a mess, Man. I feel for y'all. 😂
I don’t usually go to bed during any game but I am tonight. This is just crazy a game that should’ve ended a long time ago still has about 2 quarters to go. Hopefully they call it or postpone it if not good luck the rest of the game Cats whenever it resumes!
That's not the point. It's night time. Most of the time you experience a pop up shower, it's because the sun is out. This is a bit anomalous.
I knew climate change was eventually gonna hit us where it hurts.
Weather hasn't been right here since Mayfield in 2021.
This is like waiting to grill out all day and then someone takes a giant shit on your hamburger bun. I’ll take 31-0 but I don’t have many of these opening games left.
Sucks for sure, wait months for this and then we get screwed by weather.
It's the CAPE and moisture. This is sadly becoming a new normal in this area.
I live just a few miles from the stadium, definitely lightening happening. I hate it, but it's true.
Convective Available Potential Energy.
Or, hear me out, what happens when you have a really big heat wave transitioning to a much cooler weather pattern. Crazy, I know.
Alright, which one of you was this?!?!
LOL
