Saturday’s game between No. 6-ranked TCU and Kansas State was scheduled to start at noon EST, but Mother Nature had other plans.
Lightning strikes near the Bill Snyder Family Football Stadium caused multiple delays and pushed kickoff all the way back to 3 PM EST.
TCU at Kansas State set for 3 p.m. ET kickoff – 3 hour delay because of storms/lightning

Naturally, the Internet had jokes about the less-than-ideal weather situation.
Causing lightning to delay the game is the most Bill Snyder clock-management technique ever.

I’d rather take our chances and play in lightning than watch another minute of Iowa state and Kansas

At least Notre Dame and NC State can relate to that feel.
