Re: No game this weekend
As disappointing as it feels, it is the right move. A decision has to be made before Southern Miss starts to travel. The good news is that it looks like they are still trying to get it re-scheduled. I'm guessing the option mentioned previously of 10/6 with a re-scheduled Arkansas State game will be our best bet.

Re: No game this weekend
Was playing in Hattiesburg not an option? I'd rather give up a home game than drop a game entirely or try to squeeze one in during the critical conference portion of our season.

20% chance of rain Saturday. I get that MUCH more important things are happening in the state, but...

Re: No game this weekend
Southern Miss couldn't sell enough tickets to an extra game to cover our travel? Just surprises me unless there's some re-shuffling of other games that is what admin is planning on.

Re: No game this weekend
Remember it's not just the weather at the game site. It's also the availability of resources (security, medical, emergency), too. Surely many of those will be on standby for the eastern part of the state.

Re: No game this weekend
I may be in the minority, but this storm will have minimal impact on the high country and seems like a PR motivated move.
Oh well.
Oh well.

Re: No game this weekend
Or forced by our chancellor who panicked yesterday and cancelled classes for 2 days.

Re: No game this weekend
This I imagine has as much to do with the cancellation as anything. It's not simply game day weather in Boone.smokeybandit wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 12:49 pmRemember it's not just the weather at the game site.

Something tells me USM was quick to pull the trigger as well. Can't lose if they don't play.
