Googled a press release - nothing.

why?

According to this link, Rentschler is being used by the National Guard for hurricane relief.

[uconndennis]

why?

my guess is that the National Guard is supposedly using the parking lots as a staging area

 

[UConndad6]

why?

apparently the Rent was designated as the Hurricane Support Center and there is eqpt and other resources which has impacted the game.

I am hearing that it is looking like it might be cancelled all together now.

My first reaction ... this is just Stupid.

Two days they can re-deploy & find a far better staging area. Many, many people make plans far in advance for a BCS/FBS game. The damage & turmoil caused by the storm shouldn't be underestimated; but, this is just evidence of the small-minded & lack of can-do spirit. This is just an Insurance State special.

You can have my two if the game is moved to Saturday. I have plans to go out of stste for the weekend that can't be changed.

There go my plans for later this week. Labor Day Party this Saturday in Rhode Island. It's also a surprise Birthday Party for certain members of the wife's family. I'm cooked.

Lets just hope it gets rescheduled I already have travel plans specifically for the game and am obligated to visit mine and my gfs family inbetween. Now its just going to be a weekend of hell.

Moving the game to Saturday is bad. Canceling it would be a horrible for the team and the fans. Anyone know what the National Guard is distributing?

It probably wont be maybe Yale bowl?

 

[Waquoit]

If Hathaway is still the AD this game is played.

 

[Pudge]

Guaranteed. And thus my disclaimer.

But ... I am pretty certain that this would NOT be the case for any other BCS program. There are only 6 BCS football games; there are lots of big field in that State.
