In 100+ years of College Football...

[stormingnorm]

when teams just kept on playing whenever there was a rainstorm......

Can anyone name even one time when the weather caused some catastrophe?


Just sayin’

I don’t know about college but people have absolutely been killed by lightning at football games. Somehow I don’t think it would discriminate based on the level of player.

Not sure about college football but it has happened many times around the world during soccer games at all levels.

it's beyond idiotic to play on during thunder and lightning

Lee Corso’s rental car was struck by lightning during a 2011 game at Virginia Tech!

I've always wondered about this, has any game at PSU ever been suspended because of lightning?

Lightning is something you don't want to mess with. Get inside.

USC @ Ohio State in 1990 - severe thunderstorm over the stadium? Who cares, play on!

At 2:18:58 of the video - the scoreboard even shows a cartoon Brutus getting struck by a lightning bolt!

No, playing on was not particularly smart.
