Washburn/Mines game

[Jayhawk Juco Guy]

WU/Mines in a heat delay before OT. Tied 16-16

I had wondered why live stats quit working.

Quick summary from memory:
Washburn led at half, but seemed to have a lot of three and outs during the game. Scored a touchdown with two minutes left to tie it up, but missed the extra point.

I tuned into radio 15 minutes after regulation ended. Announcer said at noon that the temperature on the field had to be below 92.5 degrees for the game to resume. I don’t see that happening on the plains before 9 pm tonight.

Indeed not. Due to that fact, the game has officially ended in a 16-16 tie.

When did that become a rule? If that is true the Pitt game won't start until about 10pm.

Fox crew doing the Indiana/North Texas game said the temperature on the field is 152 degrees. I'm assuming that is measuring the heat coming off the turf.

As per the Mines website the MIAA has an extreme temperature rule. Game must be suspended if ‘wet-bulb’ temperature on the field exceeds 92.1 degrees and can’t be resumed til temperatures drop back down

It's not a rule.

My guess is that Mines had it as part of their agreement. According to Pittsburg radio , Mines was willing to cancel if Washburn didn't move it to an early AM start.

I heard that too. I created a thread about this on the main forum, before I thought to check this forum.

I understand the concern over hydration/player safety and considering fans as well... but still. They should just play it out, hose down the players with sprinklers (literally) and give out free water to fans.

I was wrong, sort of.

Rules are up to the conference, and games can be suspended for high heat, but they use wet bulb temp, not field temp.

Not sure if the miaa has this rule or not. If so, there won't be any games until sometime between 10 and midnight.

Mines coach or team is scared of KS heat/humidity. I would have have gladly played/drank the game out,

I believe that wet bulb temp is why Hays game was pushed back on Thurs just a couple hours before the originally scheduled kickoff time

[IchabodPower44]

It was juicier at 6am when setting up tailgate than full sun when they called the match,

[DawgUp]

Had 2-a-days hotter than 92. Rub some gatorade and astro turf on it and play OT.

Embarrassing every other game went down today. These two programs reschedule twice. Have a 9 am start time which is ridiculous. Then cancel it. If heats a factor don't plan for your game to wrap up during the peak hottest times. Watkins and Mines hc are dumbasses
