It's been going on for an hour and a half on NBC and ABC in this area. The ND vs. S. Fla. game has not even started the second half yet and they are waiting out a second storm system. ND is down 16-0, while W. Michigan is down by about four tds in the second half. I have a simple solution: the losing teams need to concede and accept losses so everyone can go home and other important tv programming does not get interrupted by the bad football they are displaying. Besides, even if ND comes back and wins, they still proved they are overhyped this season, so it's really a lost cause. Just give up and everyone goes home safe. So annoying. The ND shill in the booth kept saying the long delay helps ND, but then admitted S. Fla. is used to these delays due to their location in Florida. Go figure.

This is ND's answer to its prayers to Touchdown Jesus. They desperately needed time to regroup.

As for Western Michigan... at least the score isn't more lopsided???

They got it right in the W. Mich. vs. Michigan game. With a full quarter left, they called the game and the score at the time stood as the final. They did it wrong at ND. The delay at halftime was nearly two freakin hours with S. Fla. ahead 16-0 and then later in the second half they delayed the game yet again for weather. S. Florida won anyway, after seven hours or so. ND needs to stop thinking this luck thing is anything more than fantasy. They were beat by halftime and should have given it up like good losers.

Brian Kelly's solution: Get caught on national TV dropping an f-bomb on one of your players after the game-sealing goalline turnover. Have your mouth blurred out during ESPN's halftime show replay. Giggle giggle.

For a program which considers itself classy, ND sure has had a lot of no class coaches: Holtz. O'Leary, Weis, and Kelly.
