The Bowl Was Never Played

It was very unfortunate that Boston College and Boise State were forced to end their game in the 1st Responder Bowl because of lightning in the Dallas area.

The initial one hour delay ended the game because of more lightning strikes.

Nobody ever thought this could happen. Seniors on both teams will never get a chance to close out their career with a win or loss.

Bowl games are made for television. Could they have waited longer and played the game before only the fans in the stadium? Do they buy insurance against catastrophic events that can influence the game?

It's probably never a good idea to make players, coaches and fans to wait for two hours for a football game. You can do it in baseball. It seems to work.
