Veritas, don't screw with us. Is it true?

Although I take great pleasure in screwing with people, I draw the line with matters such as this. Right now, kickoff is scheduled for 8:10, per Jake Trotter on Twitter.

I didn't think you were but I was hoping. Well, let's stay calm and wait it out with our favorite beverage.

Now the OSU-Pitt game has been delayed. I believe the rule is that they have to wait 90 minutes from the latest lightning strike.

Fox 23 is saying 30 minutes....Who knows. That rain over Norman is very heavy from the shots they showed...

I think they're right. I went to the NCAA site and it looks like it's 30 minutes. One of the sportswriters said 90 on twitter. Must have been a typo on his part.

The sun is shining in Norman. 6:03pm. Why the delay? That was a rhetorical question.

I just heard it takes at least an hour for the field to dry. That shouldn't be the reason, if so.

And Pryor, Perine set the rushing record at the last weather delay. Granted it was against Kansas...

They won't hold the game up for a wet turf. FYI.

Yeah, Pryor. Ohio State is enough of a problem so keep the negative vibes on the down low. We need a WIN. BOOMER!

Well 22 is right. Fox 23 showed the sun out. The weatherman said once this front moves out nothing is behind it.

Watch, this crap will hit Tulsa just about when the game starts. I have Dish and lose reception if someone spits on it. If the wind blows past 10 miles an hour I lose electricity... No, I'm not exaggerating ......;)

Gas generator for those $350,000 homes... Run on propane or natural gas... New Dish we have will give SD channels if HD signal lost... Might check it out...

My house is not worth 350,000 dollars. I have a generator, but I'm intrigued about the SD dish you mentioned?

Moved from the coast last year and the new dish will go to SD if we lose HD signal, automatically. Had it happen several times this year. Worked great, although still screws up the recording of stuff.

My house did that until I installed a new main panel and I also got rid of the aluminum wiring in the house. Mine was a safety issue If it's the power company issue that's just a nuisance.

Just exchanged tweets with Plaino's favorite sportswriter, John Hoover. He told me it is 90 minutes because the players never got a chance to warm up prior to the delay.
