Rain delays are frustrating, but there's no reason they can't be fun. On Saturday, it poured at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana, forcing the Purdue Boilermakers and Minnesota Golden Gophers to hit pause in the fourth quarter of their game.

While the tic-tac-toe match ended in a draw, the actual game ended in a 31-17 victory for the hometown Boilermakers.
