Is the weather messing with any playoff schedules?

I heard some "talk" that it could possibly happen but I sure wouldn't think so. Anyone?

They are not going to be changing anything, it is ND and the weather is part of the game, we have just been spoiled the last few years with perfect playoff weather. This is nothing a little snow and wind, not even terribly cold.

I remember hearing of a game, I think it was napoleon and new salem back in either the late 80's or real early 90's, 4 foot high snowbanks were the sidelines and it was well below freezing and the wind was howling. I believe they called it the infamouse cole porter game, he was new salems stud and theought it was to cold so he sat on the bus all game, score was something like 50-0.

This is what makes ND football interesting, might even the playing fields with the differences in styles, option verses an aerial attack, gotta be able to run the ball and handle the rock this weekend, turnovers ore going to be huge and I think the games are going to be lower scoring than people think especially the hillsboro - nap game, both teams under 20 in a dogfight, not predicting a winner, to tough to tell both teams are tough!

I'm going to re-post this over here:
Football belongs outdoors- the domes are only for revenue and the fair weather fans ( exactly where the name came from) that won't brave the elements to support their team. The elements add to the competition- think back to all those highlights they show on TV- players covered in mud, field covered in snow-steam coming off the players- THAT is real football. Play basketball and baseball in a dome- football belongs outside.
