This looks like a very lengthy delay and I am sure the Big 12 is willing to wait a long time to get this game in tonight with a national tv audience on Fox 1 tomorrow.
They could try to resume the game at like noon if necessary, but that would really hurt the winner of this game.
TCU must be loving this.

You want to expand on that for those of us that cannot get the radio call? Is the 8th in the second game as bad as the first?
