There have been warm-up weather delays. Hope it isn't a repeat of the Temple game several years back.

Game won't start at 6:30, due to the weather. Here we go. Should have put a damn roof on the place.

And the SEC Network apparently has no pregame show. It's Marty and Magee interviewing QB's at media days.

And this is from the Weather Channel for Franklin - better than 50% chance of thunderstorms through 9 PM

Radio is airing a tape of last year's Florida game.

I wish just ONCE we could have a season opener without this crap

Don, you know better than i, but i thought roofs were incredibly expensive. Retractable roofs even higher.

My first thought.

Really? Wow.

. What is the estimated start time

God hates us.

It appears on the radar map I’m looking at this could be a protracted delay. What’s the word from Nashville, official or otherwise?

Kickoff now set for 8:10 CT; about another hour to kill.

Moving the schedule ever earlier makes season tix unviable. The chances of any of the first four games being ungodly hot or delayed is high.

Crazy as it is, I think this is a good thing. It will bring the temperature down... good for the players, good for fans. Some people were wishing it could start later anyway, as some high school games did this week. Hopefully nobody had anything important to do tomorrow(!).

Game will start at 8:11 pm CT.

Also levels the playing field. Hawaii hasn't been practicing in this heat. We have.

What worries me more is that Vanderbilt's offense had two of its worst performances in rainy weather last year (Wake and UT).

still looks to be raining fairly hard. Sparse crowd.

SMITH!!!
