It turns out Mother Nature could not afford to cede 90 entire minutes of her Saturday to watch Marquette men’s soccer’s matinee against Providence.
After 74, she decided she had better things to attend to.
Perhaps Heatmiser and Snowmiser were acting up again, so she had to handle that. Perhaps she remembered she had a pressing matter to take care of. Perhaps she called an audible and decided she simply had better things to do.
Whatever the reason, she made the call.
And in came the thunder and lightning, hovering over the Valley and clouding not only the fields, but the Golden Eagles’ chances at keeping their undefeated home record intact.
