[Class of '66 Old Fart]

It does happen; not often, but it does happen.

The First Responder Bowl was canceled after 9 minutes and 52 seconds of play and a weather delay of about an hour and 20 minutes on Wednesday. The bowl announced on its Twitter account that it would be ruled a no-contest:

There was 5:08 left on the clock in the first quarter when the teams went to a delay at about 2 p.m. ET. Boston College had a 7-0 lead and had just punted the ball away to Boise State, which was going to take over at its own 14-yard line.

A lightning strike within eight miles of the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, the game site, caused the bowl to go into a 30-minute delay. That delay extended with each successive lightning strike, and the teams and bowl reps eventually decided just not to play.

So, Boise State finishes the year 10-3, and Boston College finishes 7-5, matching its win total in four of its other five seasons under head coach Steve Addazio.

Bowl cancelations almost never happen. This is the first in a long time.

We and others will look into when the last one was.

The NCAA lists the 2000 BCA Classic, a season kickoff game it classifies as a bowl, as being canceled due to weather. It notes that the 1941 Hawaii Rainbows had a postseason game canceled due to the attack on Pearl Harbor. The 2013 C.H.A.M.P.S. Heart of Texas Bowl was canceled due to weather, but that’s not an FBS bowl.

As per their custom, the whiny little Toiletmaker fans scream "IU sucks" as they kick off to Auburn. Three players later, the Tigers score on a 66-yard TD pass. On its next possession, Auburn marches right down the field to another TD. Love it! 

Who sucks now, Toiletmaker fans??? Maybe if you were half as obsessive about your opponent as you are with us, you wouldn't be getting embarrassed. (Little brothers can be so annoying).

Another Auburn TD. I hope they make this ugly.

Blough throws a pick inside his own redzone lolololol goodnight Purdon’t.

Touchdown Auburn. 

 

“Yikes”

-The color commentator

 

Edit: Nvm he was down at the 1. Give it a minute.

Purdue scores. 

 

Next play, Auburn scores. 28-7. 

[Hovadipo]

35-7

[KingPG21]

Down 28-7, don't even look like they belong on the same field. Purdue makes one good defensive play and celebrates, lol. Very next play they give up a touchdown. Lots to celebrate for Purdue so far

Love that Purdue is getting housed but it’s sadly a reminder of how far IUFB has to go.

How do you get a delay of game after a kickoff? That's an IU football kind of mistake.

[Hovadipo]

42-7. Pass tipped at the line, housed by a single-digit-wearing DLineman. This is amazing.

Gregg Doyel being Gregg Doyel, trying to shift the focus away from this beatdown with another tweet about Tyler Trent.

Auburn is on pace for roughly 140 points I think, but don’t check me on that. 

[LamarCheeks]

Damn. Auburn has had the ball for less than five minutes and is leading by five touchdowns! ... Good thing Toiletmaker fans are obsessing over us ...

Auburn is probably better than their record suggests. 7-5 is a bad season for them, whereas 6-6 at Purdue earns you a raise. Not to mention the SEC West is probably a tad bit better than the Big Ten West.

[LamarCheeks]

I think the officials are feeling sorry for PU now. The Toiletmaker DB was basically hugging the Auburn receiver from the 5-yard-line to the back of the end zone -- but there was no holding call. 

[LIHoosier]

Gus is so pissed he has to be in this 2nd rate bowl. Up 42-7 midway through the 2nd quarter, they go for it on 4th and 1 inside Purdont's 15.

I love Auburn.

[Hovadipo]

49-7

Auburn has tied the Music City Bowl points record in a quarter and a half.

Yep. The sad thing is that had we somehow beaten PU, this probably would be us getting pounded all over the field in Nashville.
