State of Emergency-NOAA Link in OP

Too early to call, but they will look at the worst case scenario and make a decision based on that. Yes, the game is a big deal, but nobody wants to stick their head out, make a call, and then the **** hits the fan.

Look let's get a couple things straight. I want this game to happen as much or more than anyone does! All I'm doing is giving some opinions on weather. The right front quadrant is indeed the most intense part of a tropical system. That being said if you think being on the west side of a system is a cake walk you're sadly mistaken. The westward shift in track was caused by one model run but the overall guidance has been shifting west for about 30 hrs. I hope that the models shift to a OTS solution. If you don't think that hurricane Matthew isn't a threat to Saturday night you have your head buried in the sand.

Strength of the storm is very tight, so if the hurricane doesn't make FL landfall, then life in South Florida will hardly be affected, except everyone will have more water, gas, and pork'n'beans than they know what to do with.

I lived in South Florida for about 25 years, and on its current track, I think the game gets played.

Born in Hollywood, raised in Lauderdale. I've been thru my share. Not really sure what you mean by "on its current track" as it moves now it's due North. The issue is a ridge and its strength to the North that will guide the system. The million dollar question is how far NW it gets nudged. Even the models don't have a good handle on this storm. My posts aren't really about the affects in SFL. If I had to guess right this minute I would tend to agree with you. My posts are more about the reaction from those in charge of Saturday night.

I guess I don't understand why you think "the reaction from those in charge of Saturday night" would be to cancel the game with the hurricane on its current track? And by current track, I mean the current projection, and by that I mean the prediction that it doesn't make landfall in Florida and will be ~75-150 miles off the coast when parallel to Broward. You're right it's very possible it shifts further west, in which case we re-evaluate, but all we can go by are current projections. The next update may move west or east.

You're right the ensemble models are all over the place...but they most always are.

People's ******** will be tightened until about noon on Friday, I don't begrudge you that. But if it didn't make landfall by mid-Friday, there won't be anything to clean up and FSU should be able to travel just fine Friday night or even Saturday morning if **** gets real crazy.

Right?

 

[JgDaCane]

If it were to get canceled when would it be moved to? Do you think?

Someone said we don't have a common bye week, so it would have to Monday. Looks like UNC is going to get cancelled or has a great chance of it too, so UNC can play Monday too, and neither of us would be screwed. I don't care if it screws FSU or VT.

thank you..looks like I might be off Monday then lol

8pm report does not look great.

 

[OrlCane635]

The game will be postponed. No way they risk it.

**** that. There are no bye weeks left and there is no way we should agree to play this on Monday or some shi* like that given we play UNC next week and VT in 5 days after that. That's 3 games in 11 days. lol.

Either play the game this Sat or just cancel it, move on to UNC, and win the g**** division. The ACC tiebreakers involve win percentage, so a 7-0 conference record would trump a 7-1 conference recrod.

If only it was that easy! The good thing is nothing is going to happen tonight. Let's all hope for a big drop in intensity & that the models do shift back east somewhat.

Just pray y'all.

8PM EST update. No change. SoFla is still well within the "cone of uncertainty" but as of now not projected to make FL landfall. Which is real good news. Barring a move westward, the only thing I can see ******* up the game is FSU's travel plans, and it looks like they could fly safely Friday night...

Again, as of now.

With a storm who's Hurricane 4 force winds only extend ~7 miles from the eye. C'mon, I wanna watch so bad! Just be glad we aren't playing in the Carolinas.

 

[Jax Cane]

This ***** will be up in the carolinas by saturday night, we good. Gonna get some rain and some wind, nothing to see here.

 

[Tinman64]

Maybe they can reattach the roof by Saturday lol

Broward county closed all schools for Thursday and Friday. They're gonna cancel this game, we won't get hit and it will be sunny all day Friday and Saturday.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Found this funny headline from the postponed game in 1998:

Miami: UCLA Game Likely Won't Be Rescheduled
Saturday's Football Game Was Canceled Because Of Hurricane Georges.

Broward county closed all schools for Thursday and Friday. They're gonna cancel this game, we won't get hit and it will be sunny all day Friday and Saturday.

Richt was specifically rooting for the school to be closed so we could go practice at the Dolphins IPF. I don't understand why school closure = cancelled game to some of you.

I'm not so talented with a calendar, but Thursday and Friday morning come well before Saturday night. I think...

FSU can fly their sorry asses to ft Myers and then take a bus over Friday. If not they can go **** themselves

 

[5XNC]

B/c I think they will overreact.
And this game will get cancelled long before Saturday if it's gonna get cancelled.

The one thing we have to stop saying is "the storm will be long gone by Saturday". We know that. We can read the graphs. The game would be cancelled/ postponed because of the possibility of a fcked up infrastructure after the storm goes by.

No one here is rooting for that and no one wants the county or the state to jump the gun. But they are all responsible for peoples' lives and they tend to overreact on the side of caution.

 

[streetja]

The only way the game is cancelled is if it makes landfall directly on SFLA. And because that day will come Thursday, that's when a decision should come. A cancellation before then is premature and foolishly over cautious.

I like how you speak so definitively when you're so clearly talking out of your ***.
