Fordham and Bucknell may have begun a heated rivalry on Friday when their Division I-AA game was delayed due to a grill fire.
That's right: tailgating actually had a direct effect on the outcome of a game at Bucknell's Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.

It really doesn't get any more American than this, folks. Luckily for the two FCS opponents, the game began only 10 minutes after its scheduled start time.
Sounds like it was worth the wait: both teams were deadlocked at 17-17 early in the fourth quarter.
