- Thread starter Knight_Classes_begin_7pm
- Start date
What happened to the days when cfb was played in the rain and society wasn't a bunch of p*ussies???
I assume you are talking about what may become Tropical Storm or possible Category 1 Hurricane Idalia . After hanging out around Cancun, it is supposed to move north into the eastern Gulf of Mexico arriving along Florida’s Gulf Coast by Wednesday. Following that it will spread into parts of the Southeast. At this time most tracks have it going north of Orlando making landfall around Tallahassee. Only two tracks show it over Central Florida. Some bands of soaking rain could reach parts of western Florida as soon as Monday. Locally heavy rain is also possible in parts of the Southeast not associated with Idalia this weekend into Monday. Heavier rain appears to begin Tuesday, continuing into Thursday from northern, possibly central Florida into parts of Georgia and the Carolinas. We should be okay but in Florida you never know.
When a game is postponed of canceled it rarely has to do anything with playing in a storm. It's all the resources and logistics that is no longer available as there is more important things to do than make sure a football game has security, emergency services, and traffic control.
Can go ahead with the game being understaffed or no staff and see how that works out for the experience.
That being said no idea if this storm will actually require the resources, won't know till Tuesday.

Rain on Wednesday and game time kickoff on Thursday evening. Looking fine at this point for season to start on time. This isn't like a Cat 5 heading for I-4 corridor.
I think you're being a bit overly dramatic for a tropical storm that's probably going to hit 200 miles away from Orlando.
But snowflakes gonna flake
I said exactly why a storm impacts a football game. Didn't say this storm would, I have no idea because it is predicted weak. However, anyone that lives on the gulf knows the water is incredibly warm right now, so who knows how it plays out until it does.
Football is played in rain. Just not when there is lightning or 70 mph winds.
Yep... lightning is no joke and a huge risk. If it's raining...game on.
BNGAD....man I'm hoping this thing hangs a left!!!! Any chance to play the game Friday or Saturday?
I heard it’s only hitting west coast on Wednesday. Should be ok Thursday.
10AM CDT Sunday, August 27th.

It's projected to be cat 3 and will be in the Atlantic by early Thursday morning.
No reason to cancel this game.

Unless the visiting team fears for the safety of their entry/exit, or some other non-game consideration. I've heard that reason before.
If the storm goes where they expect it will, Thursday should be fine. Orlando will have very minimal damage.
It it bears more to the right that could change. It will be gone 36 to 48 hours before game time.

Too risky. Safety needs to come first. There’s ZERO interest in this unnecessary game. CANCEL!
I've been talking to some fans over on a Kent State message board. No one there has mentioned anything yet to me about the team's travel plans.
Kent State has 900k points of interest. Go worry about Miami getting blown out by Miami OH.
I would think the could move the game to Saturday if necessary, no?
considering your attendance (butts in the seats), it's not a big deal when a game is cancelled.
More often if it impacts the rest of the schedule. If the push (which it wouldn't) created a scenario that made it a short travel week to Boise St, I would bet UCF would choose to cancel.
No, because they'll want to let all the employees who are working the game have Labor Day weekend off. The game would probably be moved to another season.
Obviously, you didn't get enough attention earlier, so here's another helping. Dang, you're a hungry troll.
All right, I'll play this game. Hurricanes are somewhat unpredictable, right? Let's cancel every football game being played in the state of Florida this week, just in case. In fact, who knows what else could happen? You could have a sinkhole open up at Hard Rock Stadium (or whatever you Canes call your rental home nowadays) in the middle of a play. Better cancel your whole season.
If you are going by meaningless games, then Miami might as well cancel their season after week 2 because you wont have any more meaningful games after the L to A&M.
