Weather delay

Post by slideman67 »

Question for the group - I've been following Gator football since 1989, and I can not remember a weather delay like that in those years. I remember in 1992 playing in a monsoon in Knoxville, but I don't think they delayed the game. When is the last time there was a delay like this?

In 1994, the last year my wife and I were students, it poured every home game in the first quarter, only to have a cloudless sky by the third quarter, so you just sat and broiled. I don't recall any game delays then.

Just checking.

I remember sitting in the rain during many games. I think with this one, it was lightning...which has been really bad this summer. And then with the destiny of the game pretty much apparent, I don't think they wanted to risk the injuries, for a meaningless game that was already won.
Okay, let's try this!

It must be a new rule. I remember sitting in Tiger Stadium with lightning and a down pour watching games. Since stadiums are going up so high, guess people started to get hurt?

It's an SEC rule about lightning, according to Mick Hubert.

the game against Ohio (the Bobcats, not the Bucknuts) was delayed (either 2002 or 2003 I can't remember which at the moment)
