at what point does the game become final, before reaching 60 minutes of playing time?

I guess no one knows who else has a Nov 2nd bye.
They wouldn't play it during the bye week. There is no way Campbell would want to play a meaningless game the week before OU. At best it would be a set up like last year. If you insist on solving problems that aren't likely to happen then start with that scenario.

No other FBS games have been cancelled yet. If our game is cancelled, we are SOL until another FBS game is cancelled. At that point, it's a crap shoot to try and find an open date that works.

We can play another FCS team, but it won't count toward bowl eligibility. And this team needs all the help they can get.

1. And tell me how many delays in the history of Iowa state football. I’ll tell you—-4. 2 last week, 1 last year that ended up cancelled, and I think 1 before the Kansas game started 2 years ago. That’s a bad, bad trend.
2005 Colorado tornado game was delayed like an hour because tornado.

Fair enough, the possibility of a delay is validated. And remind me again, how many games have been canceled due to weather in the history of Cyclone football?

Not to cave this, but things are different weather wise than they used to be. This is becoming a trend.

We've seen a lot of rainy days at Jack Trice. We haven't seen incessant lightning until now.

Exactly.

That was an anomaly, no denying that. When you kickoff at 6PM and storms fire up, there isn't much time to get a game in.

Tomorrow is scattered, unlike last year. Kickoff is 11, unlike last year.

All of this is true.

But you can’t be surprised that people are jumpy. I sat through SDSU until they called it after 4 + hours. I sat through 6 + hours on Saturday. The thought of having to do that again is enough to make me sick.

I agree with you there. The delays aren't fun.

But "Assuming tomorrow's game is cancelled" is a bit of a stretch.
