Lightning, rain force postponement of football game at Jonesboro

Preview - Box Score - Recap

September 8, 2007

JONESBORO, Ark. (AP) -- Heavy rain and lightning forced postponement of the Memphis-Arkansas State football game that was scheduled Saturday evening.

Kickoff for the game had been scheduled for 6 p.m., but was initially delayed as a strong thunderstorm with lightning moved through the city. About 7 p.m., officials announced the game would be delayed at least another hour.

But at 8:50 p.m., almost three hours after the game should have started, the public-address announcer told the waiting -- and drenched -- fans that the game would not be played Saturday evening.

Instead, he said, it would be played on Sept. 27, with kickoff again slated for 6 p.m.
