These guys are going to spend all week worried about their mamas and their brothers and their sisters and cousins and buddies.... they'll be thinking about everything except for football.

Maybe that goes for the coaches as well, to an extent.

Would have been better to get everyone out of town away from the chaos.

So if they were in Atlanta they wouldn't have been thinking about those people so far away and being unable to help them? The questions would have made it worse. Have you heard from your family? How much damage was done to your home?

Not only that, but as we saw with a category ONE storm as far as what part hit us, we lost power, cell phones, land lines, and they would have been in Atlanta checking their phones for ANY word on their families. I have family in the Keys, they evacuated, but they had to wait three days just to be told their home was gone. Not damaged, not a shell, GONE. Until you go through that, you can't claim you can ignore what is happening here while you are safe in Jonesboro (if you call that safe) or Atlanta (where at some points the storm was also tracked to hit).
 
Ark St is clearly losing out on some revenue because of this. Does Miami have to pay them as if they were only playing at Miami? Will we have to travel to Ark St at some point in another season?

Playing 11 games is something that certainly could hurt a potential playoff bid, but I am pretty sure we have to win all our games anyway in order to make the playoff. If we do go 11-0, we are in.

State school so lost revenue isn't as big a factor.

They are a G5 school every $ is important. The state doesn't fund athletics.

FAU seems to be getting to Wisconsin just fine. Crap move by the AD.

FAU seems to be having trouble getting OUT of Wisconsin. SMART and family first move by the AD.
 
Sooo...mighty Nebraska is down 14-0 to Northern Illinois
 
People are/were idiots to think that Miami would struggle with Ark State based on a Nebraska game being close.

No other way to put it.

Don't care about this game being canceled but really don't know why the Georgia tech game was rescheduled. Way to premature and there really isn't a valid excuse

There's some rule ACC I think that says a team has to have so many days between games or playing 3 games in so many days or something and playing GT on Thursday wouldn't have allowed for that number to be hit.
