Man- forget about lightning strikes (eh hem- Lee Corso)...
PSU and UCF game is in Jeopardy! due to a potential volcano eruption in Iceland. Official word is that Penn State is aware of the seismic activity.
Iceland has been experiencing increased earthquake activity this week, which has led officials to worry that a volcano named Brarbunga might erupt and disrupt travel to Europe.
I guess we would have an excuse for why they feel seismic activity in Blacksburg - see Miami game, 2012.

Connery: I'll take MAGMA for 600, Trebek!
Trebek: That's Mad Ma's Mr. Connery.
Connery: Ahhhh... just like your mother when I told her my wallet was a little light last night.
That would be unfortunate. A family member of mine works for the UCF Chain Gang and they are paying for them to go on the trip too.
Agreed. I am from the Penn State territory, and I know a lot of people who schedule week long trips over to Ireland centered around the game. Not only would this be unfortunate for fans, but I am sure the players were looking forward to this game also.
My first thought was, "why are they playing a game in Iceland?! Does Reykjavik have a strong American college football scene?" Then I realized you said Ireland and now it makes a little more sense... Emphasis on "a little".
Of course it makes sense, when you think Penn State and UCF aren't the irish the first thing to come to mind? :)
Hopefully there is no volcano destroying Iceland though, it is quite the fun place to visit from what I have heard...
They just need to throw a virgin down that bad boy. Should do the trick.
What's the point in having them play in Ireland?? I'm sure that place will be rocking.....
The whole idea was similar to when ND played over there last year. Bring American Football to Europe for games, provide a great experience for the players, and expand the brand. ND made more sense in Ireland, but the country was friendly to the idea of hosting so they sent different teams over there. For Penn State, this is their bowl trip.
