Well, TCU-KState was supposed to be a noon kickoff. Started around 3.

This is what the field currently looks like:

That makes me wonder if they won't do a 11am start tomorrow. I have no idea if Waldo's drainage is good enough for that.

Wow, with that flooding on the field I don't see the game starting for hours today-if at all. Even if they got all the water off the field immediately, it would take 2-3 hours to be sufficiently 'dry' so it wouldn't promote injuries. Stick a fork in this one, it's done.

They'll announce a reschedule within the hour, I bet.

I don't know how credible this is but I've heard that it's delayed until as late as 9pm. That seems long enough to get a field ready but I'm not sure that's accurate.

Corey’s corner is flooded! :(

Game is rescheduled for 1pm tomorrow.

Will it be available to watch on CBS sports?

I wouldn't bet on it.

Any chance that ESPN 3picks up the game if not on CBSS?

"television TBA" according to MAC front office.

CBSSN doesn’t have anything to cover on Sundays cause CBS handles all NFL games. This crew should just stick around and cover the game tomorrow

Let’s use a hill to start our football stadium!

good call as it looks like just showers and wind at kickoff at one on Sunday. Not sure at all though if they can get the field in shape. Does anyone know why the center of the field literally was off the ground? Maybe every serv pro in 50 miles can show up.

Ostensibly the center of the field is 1 foot higher than the edges, so it should drain IF THEY HAVE SOMEWHERE TO EXPEL THE WATER TO. The drainage system in and around Kazoo might be full right now.

They'll need pumps and industrial size wetvacs on the field as soon as it stops raining.

I don’t have any insider info to support this, but I wouldn’t bet on there being any TV coverage tomorrow.

I would think The NFL almost certainly has language in its TV contract with CBS preventing any non-NFL football related programming on any CBS platform while NFL games are being played.

I hope I’m wrong.

CBSSN is showing rodeo and bull riding tomorrow. Wouldn't you think MAC football would be a bigger ratings draw?

Mother nature picked a fine time to ruin a Bronco game. Homecoming weekend and an opportunity to show off the stadium and crowd to a whole bunch of recruits.
