Is weather even bad in Orlando?
They need to prorate refunds. They need to do this in good faith to not piss off fans more.From our website: "Fans with tickets to the Georgia Tech game, including season ticket holders, can contact UCF Athletics at 407.823.1000 for information about attending a different game this season." Tickets for an away game? Are they paying for flights and hotel as well?
Play it anywhere within 100 miles at this point. I don't care!Based on the article, it's not cancelled due to weather concerns and has more to do with logistics challenges.
Either way, it's a bummer.
At this point, do it! I don't care! At least I can watch it on TV. That's better than nothing. 2/12ths of my life has just been lost!This is so much BS!!! Play the game in Atlanta!![]()
This season is going right down the toilet, and we're 1-0.
Now that we've already lost 2 games to weather, will we be bowl eligible?
2 freaking games for one hurricane that we knew about a week in advance and wasn't even a direct hit!Completely agree!!!!
This season has just become a giant let down. We wait all season for football and because of a little wind and some "logistical problems", 20% of our season is GONE. This is America. Get your shit together and play the ****ing games!!!
Absolutely!! Bye to the Bye week!We need to find another team with our bye week and play them.
Who's off that week? Where is Knight_light??We need to find another team with our bye week and play them.
If we have a 10 game season, UCF has to appeal to the NCAAs regarding the bowl game requirement.
You're right! We need to kick the crap out of them. Maryland has almost no film on us. We must be ansy to play football.A legit p5 w taken away. All I gotta say is we better beat the shit out of a mediocre Maryland team since we will be very very very well rested and have 2 weeks to prep. Nonetheless, FIU has displayed much better organization as they are playing games as we are zzzzzzzzz.
Perfect!Houston and UCF have the same bye week. Houston also lost a game due to a hurricane, but their opponent was ooc.
Are you suggesting we schedule a game against Houston ad hoc? Has that ever been done before? And if so, should Houston host since they had more damage or UCF since our city is still in tact.
Which brings me to my main question... why aren't we playing GT at home???

USF, who took a direct hit from Irma, confirmed their game is on for Friday. I'm a big believer in our athletic department but this feels like it was totally mishandled.
Not knocking them for letting players go be with their families but to be honest most of Florida wasn't hit too badly. Good on UCF letting first responders use campus as a staging ground but there were plenty of other options. We could have traded the home and home with GT, we could have played in camping world or the national guard could have used camping world. Also I doubt Scott would have asked UF to voulenteer their stadium if it meant them losing a home game.USF was on the back side of the storm. They did not take a direct hit. God forgive them for letting players go home and help their familys through the storm, and they really need to be dumped on for letting first responders use campus as staging ground.
Scott. Isn't there a minor league baseball field, a soccer stadium and fairgrounds in and around Orlando? Not sure why it has to be UCF athletic fields. But whatever , UCF will see the effects this will have in coming weeks. When every game has 30K people in stands because there are things more important than football. Giving people a reason to find something else to do during football season is not a good way to grow your brand.Not knocking them for letting players go be with their families but to be honest most of Florida wasn't hit too badly.

Whoops, yeah I meant Scott. If we lose to Maryland I wouldn't be surprised if the Maine game has sub 25K people in the stands. Really hope Danny White works his magic and schedules us another game. I'll take a home game against a conference opponent. Hell I'll even take an away game against a P5 at this point.Scott.

Yes away game against a name opponent is at least a game we want to watch. im not all that optimistic it will happen though. Teams that are on byes won't want to or may not be allowed to add a game mid season.Whoops, yeah I meant Scott.
