Possible delay for #UConn-Western Michigan. Officials meeting at Waldo Stadium at noon to discuss it, I'm told.

Dayum! Better safe than sorry. Any WMU fans tailgating there must be pretty hardcore, if they haven't shut that down due to lightning / winds.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Good. My daughter's softball game should end around 2:30. Won't miss as much now.

The lightning is supposed to move through. Why wouldn't they play? Never heard of a rain storm causing anyone to cancel a game.

i guess this probably won't be our passing game's coming out party.

Something about the weather in Michigan this time of year? Last year WMU ended their game vs Michigan late 3rd qtr because of a lightning storm.

I hope our coaching staff notes the weather conditions, commits to the run (finally), and doesn't throw the ball 50 times during a downpour.

Some blue skies here in Northern Indiana... Kalamazoo is only an hour and half away and everyone is talking about how it's pouring there... weird

 

[CTGoonie]

I'm not meteorologist but I just checked the radar for Kalamazoo and the rain looks to be about done. At least the 1/2 hour delay will let the field drain a little.

Don't worry Goonie the bar is set pretty low for meteoroloist accuracy with all the TV personalities.

According to weather channel app, chance of t-storms thru 5:30-6 then clears up.

Game is on. Ore game on espn3 showing now.
