[Irish#1]

Just our luck biggest recruiting weekend every and I Gurantee flights get delayed or cancelled because of the weather

Those flights will be in before any storms

 

[InKellyWeTrust]

I just think everyone is overlooking USC offensive and defensive lines. This is going to be more even in the trenches than most think.

 

[IrishLax]

They are calling for lightning 6 PM to midnight. What happens if they can't start the game!?

Also, why didn't they consider moving up the start to the 3:30 window or earlier to avoid this?

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

It was storming in the Chicago area around 6am, it's clear now. just overcast all day.

 

[IrishTusker]

Line is at -10 now, -10.5 in some places. Could still drop today of course.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Swarbrick should've put a retractable roof on the stadium during the renovation.



NEPOTISM!

 

[Irish du Nord]

Idea: Bowden's boombox as a lighting rod

Take this game talk out of the weather thread.

Exactly 100%

 

[IrishTusker]

When do they have to decide to move the game time? I (and others, I assume?) hadn't heard about the weather problems until a couple of days ago.

 

[IRISHFAN76]

Leaving northwest Ohio around noon to head to my 2nd game. Let's fucking go Irish!!! Idgaf about rain idgaf about Chad Bowen idgaf about usc. FUSC!!!!

Probably because there’s so many logistics going into it. TV, stadium workers, people getting in the day of the game, etc.

 

[Kingbish01]

I see some RLM on this game. Taking USC may be the sucker bet of the week, ND may win this thing 45-28

 

[IrishLax]

I think they will find a way to get the game in but let's say they can't start the game until like midnight. What happens? Are they'd still allowed to play it? Does it get postponed until tomorrow? I assume if it's lightning until 2 AM or whatever they wouldn't play the game.

 

[NDPhilly]

If this line of storms that’s ab to be over St Louis hits us dead on I don’t see how we play. Crazy amount of lightning.

Problem is they are calling for rain all day tmw

I’m choosing to follow Accuweather’s hourly which is calling for no lightning after 5 pm, and a mostly dry game: Notre Dame, Indiana Hourly

 

[GrangerIrish24]

I hate Rudkin. I have had beef with him for years, he just isnt aware. Kind of one sided.

ND fans wanted that extra 3.5 hours of tailgating, drinking, and waiting 30 minutes for a porta potty to open up…😉

Rookies. I've been drinking since last night and didn't even need to leave my house.

[BigErnMcCracken]

I have only been an IE member for a short time but is it customary to have folks pearl clutching about weather and flight delays for recruits? Some of you guys need to cheer up!

You should’ve just carpooled with Marcus to the stadium.

How have they not built Granger Gate at the stadium yet? Legend.

 

[GrangerIrish24]

Genius idea. Ill wait outside the Gug after the game and see if I can bum a ride.

Considered pearl clutching just because a single guy posts 10x since 7:30 this morning about it? You are a rookie. He’s a bed wetter.

I keep waiting for the MF post game presser where he states,” This win would not be possible if not for my smoking hot neighbor.”

This is a huge undertaking.

Get the employees to the stadium, the law and fire/ems, the NBC network, the players prep.

That decision should have been made last night so this the notifications could be sent out.
