ARTICLE 3. a. The referee may suspend the game temporarily when conditions warrant such action. b. When the game is stopped by actions of a person(s) not subject to the rules or for any other reasons not in the rules and cannot continue, the referee shall:1. Suspend play and direct the players to their team areas. 2. Refer the problem to those responsible for the game's management. 3. Resume the game when he determines conditions are satisfactory.c. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b before the end of the fourth period and cannot be resumed, there are four possible options: 1. Resume the game at a later date; 2. Terminate the game with a determined final score; 3. Forfeit of the game; or4. Declare a no contest.

The option that takes effect shall be determined by conference policy if both institutions are members of the same conference. In non-conference competition, the directors of athletics at the participating institutions or their designees, in consultation with the coaches, must agree on one of the four options. This agreement will include the final score if the game is terminated (Rule 8-1-2). In the event that the directors of athletics do not reach an agreement, the conference policy of the home team shall be used to determine the outcome.d. If a game is suspended under Rules 3-3-3-a and b after four periods of play and cannot be resumed, the game shall be ruled a tie. The final score shall be the score at the end of the last completed period. (Note: If a winner must be determined in a conference playoff game, conference policy shall determine when and where the game will be resumed.)e. A suspended game, if resumed, will begin with the same time remaining and under the identical conditions of down, distance, field position and player eligibility.

No. I feel like they'll finish it no matter how late.

So is there a weather delay?

So if the game is suspended ... and they can't agree on an outcome ... and Liberty isn't in a conference ... does that mean it's their choice? Seems like a big loophole in the rule.

Dave said they were tied into a bowl as a secondary or back up team. He said and I promptly forgot which one.

I downed three drinks in the parking lot at halftime so this weather delay is literally killing my buzz.

I haven’t seen #21 Nic Smith last couple games. Is he hurt or did Easley and Torrey beat him out of the starting lineup/rotation?

Been wondering about that too.

Seems so. I guess they would leverage it to make us reschedule/return.
