There have been 15 recorded tornadoes in the MidSouth since 1990. Tornadoes tend to hit open spaces like fields. There is not going to be a tornado at the Liberty Bowl tonight.

With respect, some of you guys need to turn off the Weather Channel, dig out your rain gear, and get to the game. A few inches of rain isn't going to hurt anyone.

I guarantee those that make the effort to get there will end up having a good time. Create a memory, get there.

Tell Todd Demers

No thanks. Know who he is, but for weather guys, this is their Super Bowl. If it rains, I'll turn on my windshield wipers. Don't need the details or the hype.

Is it really all that easy to just move a game back? It seems the NCAA would take issue with teams just deciding to move games a few days earlier or a few days later because a team decided there was going to be too much rain. I get if there is a legit safety threat then the game has to be moved. Beyond that, I do not see the NCAA being okay with teams deciding they do not want to play in rain and wind and then just letting them move the game a few days...

Weatherbug's forecast seems friendly!

Didn't realize we had such a large fan base of whiners and people afraid to get wet.

Nah, I'd rather go to the game tonight.

If there's 5-6 inches of rain between now and then like predicted, there won't be anything but people waiting on football tonight.

Some serious douche chill vibes from that wimp comment.

I guess we're ALL going to be in the 1500 club tonight, right?

Caution. MEMPHIS FANS CAN'T GET WET, they also have trouble with heat, wind, cold and my personal favorite, choosing between attending the game or staying home to watch a sec t.v. game
ACC HERE WE COME

The rain alone is not the issue. Flooding, lighting, and tornados are the real threats.

If I get picked up and dropped in a bean field outside Paducah, send me score updates.

Besides the real danger of flooding and lighting, I think the root of the complaints is disappointment of not showing off the crowd for national TV and partaking in pre-game activities on Tiger Lane.

It's CBS Sports Network. There won't even be a million viewers. You have games on ESPN and FS1 at the same time with P5 teams. Heck, CBS Sports Network isn't even Neilsen rated.

CBS SN is a national network. The P-5 games on tonight are not the marquee games that will be shown Saturday. Tonight is a good date for exposure because the college football starved have a choice between Sac/Idho, ULM/Memphis, and NWSU/ASU after the Ohio St game ends or they blow out Indiana.

A nearly full stadium will make a better impression than an nearly empty one and it is unfortunate we cannot put our best foot forward.

NOW THAT is something to worry about!

Fires here..hope they don't smoke up the satellite transmission.
Or it's Wolo time. I've got bad cellular memories involving his voice.

Ive honestly listened to the opposing team's feed so I could follow the game. "Fumble shoe at the fifty five yard line it's a catch, no a drop, it's good just outside the goalposts."

I can't believe they will play football tonight. Looks like a night filled with driving rain, high winds and tornado warnings.
