I'm hearing it may be an 11:11 kick

I understand the circumstances but I am going to be very disappointed if this gets postponed

It can't, we don't share a bye week. It will be straight up canceled unfortunately.

if they do end up coming here and playing, we'll probably win. not that it matters much (obviously in comparison to safety), but I know my mind would not be on playing a football game when all that is going on back home

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

They forfeit. We win.

Can't say I understand this. It has to be moved up so that they can safely fly back into a hurricane zone? Why not just stay in East Hartford until Tampa becomes accessable again?

Kinda agree. It's a free ticket to safety. And if any of the players need to stay back home with their families, they should be allowed to do so in lieu of going to the game

Moving it up on Saturday doesn't solve the potential issues. That's a polite way of saying we're not sure what we are going to do yet based on storm track and travel options.

I'm interested as to why Friday night/late afternoon isn't being discussed

 

[noeynox]

Lets have it Friday night. Just kidding, but not really.

 

[gwhuskyfan]

Friday night seems to be the best of both worlds. Especially when you look at the cone and timing. This was the latest forecast that came out.

It'd be even nicer if the NCAA granted a waiver for USF to pay for travel of all local players' families with the team up to CT. Yes, it would allow the game to be played, but the more important factor is they're all physically more safe being in CT during the duration of the storm than they are staying in Tampa if the game is cancelled. This would also allow for the players to have a bit more peace of mind that their families are safe.

Actually, I don't understand why that is a joke and not an accurate statement. I understand excusing a team when it can't get to a game for reasons beyond it's control. But if they choose not to come and play when they can get here, because they are concerned about getting back? Why isn't that viewed as their choice?

Miami just made the same decision to not travel to Arkansas State... didn't see a forfeiting discussion though.

Friday night or earlier Saturday might not be feasible if the Tampa airport is shut down.

I doubt playing in East Hartford is an option tickets, security..etc...but who is playing at USF's stadium on Friday?

No way they cancel this.

Wait, you're suggesting moving the game down to Florida? They're already using enough resources to get people out of Tampa, why bring thousands more into a football stadium?

It's really a poorly thought out idea on my part.

Its not polycom's fault that some idiot blurted that stupid statement through the conference line.

My fiancé is out of town all weekend for a bachelorette party. I NEED this game.
