It's soccer.

They're just taking dives. They do it all the time.

and the stupidity continues

at least last night the lightning was close enough to be seen... not 3 counties away like these college games

all it did was make me stand with a bunch of drunken goofs and then go back to a wet bench where i caught a cold

i would've been better off struck by lightning

hopefully minnesota/purdue gets to the 55 minute mark at some point

might not be until midnight at this pace

Still not as bad as all these targeting calls/reviews.

Lightening kills more people than any natural disaster every year

[bradthebloke]

who's liable if refs let game play on and a bolt takes out a defensive line? ncaa im guessing?

[Shute]

Not sure
However all umpires and refs have an obligation to stop play if there is danger from lightening and they take that responsibility very serious

[QuantumLeap]

Any word on the UCF/Cincy game delay?

I had UCF as well. They were on the way to an easy cover.

anyone that had the under got bailed out, even though it was already over by 20 points
