Well, somehow, we made it to the end of a very wet and slippery Avocados From Mexico Cure Bowl matchup with Appalachian State beating Miami (Ohio), 13-9, in a game that was filled with chaos and no first-half touchdowns.
The weather Saturday at FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando was less than ideal, as rain poured throughout the game and flooded the field. It was raining so hard that the rain heard on ESPN’s broadcast sounded at times like horses trotting, and some players ended up covered in paint from the field.
It was as chaotic as you’d imagine with a downpour like this, and they combined for 13 (THIRTEEN!!) total fumbles — seven from App State and six from Miami — and six total turnovers.
It was a mess, but the Mountaineers managed to come out on top.

As the field flooded with water and the game kept getting more and more hilarious, college football fans loved the slippery madness and had so many jokes.

How much is it raining at the Cure Bowl?
App State’s Christian Horn makes the catch and is tackled directly on the numbers at the 40-yard line.
Horn then comes up, covered in paint.

It is POURING at the Avocados from Mexico Cure Bowl.
The optimal conditions for growing avocado plants, I’d say.
