The Official Tennessee vs. #17/20 West Virginia Game Thread, 3:30 PM ET, CBS

[TNJOKER]

Georgia play Austin Peay, Missouri playing UT Martin. SC playing Coastal Carolina, most of the SEC playing an easy game to open the season.

You know ... It would make sense to do that.

 

[Matt2496]

another 47 minutes

No way!! That's ludicrous!

 

[ButchPlz]

Just saw the Clock listing 46 minutes until this game resumes.

It's counting the other way, 46 mins of delay.

 

[RavinDave]

I agree, she's very sexist too...

And how!

 

[NurseGoodVol]

What was Ty injury?

Smith or Chandler?

 

[firestorm]

Wow these falls look like something from the Waterboy for the WV wrs.

 

[Volfan2012]

One score down get a stop is huge and then we could be winning with a touchdown drive. We get it to the fourth quarter I like our chances.

 

[The Original Fade]

The stands look empty

 

[Boca Vol]

6:10 EST is the projected start time for the second half.

I'd prefer it to be 6:10 PM EDT. Waiting another hour will suck!

 

[HoptownVol]

Not enough times to warrant stopping a game.

I looked into it, I can't find a single incident of someone being struck at a sporting event with the exception of 7 people that were stunned by lightning outside Raymond James a few years ago, no fatalities.

It seems the biggest problem is the possibility of "dozens of people being struck" by some superbolt or something. Anyway we're stuck with this rule now, I just hope CBS shows the balance of the game.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Resumes shortly

 

[rocketskates]

It's counting the other way, 46 mins of delay.

It’s a fast paste clock. It does set the presidents for when the game will resume. Either way, the players aren’t scared of lightening.

 

[midtnvol2]

Maybe it has been asked, but what happens to the game at 7pm? Will CBS finish broadcasting the game or go to the next one?

Good question, my guess is if its still close I'd say they stay with this game. If its a blowout they switch to the new game.

6:16

We always like to beat ourselves up before starting SEC play.

 

[Matt2496]

6:16 ET is the earliest time

I'm strokin out brah

 

[TNHopeful505]

Alright. Let's get started. 6:16 pm. Plenty of time for adjustments and gameplanning. Let's see what they came up with.

I feel good. We're in this.

 

[HeadVol77]

They just said 6:16 will be the earliest

 

[Boca Vol]

I agree, she's very sexist too...

Beats the hell out of Tracy Wolfson, fo sho!

 

[montanatenn]

You could tell that a lightning storm was coming by looking at Holgersons hair before half. It was standing straight up. Lotta electricity in the air to make the greasy mop rise.

loos like he got struck yesterday.

 

[Tombo]

Best news of the day--NO VERNE!

 

[firestorm]

I can watch the rest of Tigers Huskies game until this game resumes which is a great game 13-15 Tigers in the 3rd Quarter with about 5 minutes left.

 

[governmentmule]

saying 6:16 to start the game back

 

[Orangeredblooded]

I miss hearing John Ward’s voice now.
