State of Emergency-NOAA Link in OP

[Notsince1985]

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

Again, why do people do this?

 

[Calinative]

IMO the way this game gets cancelled is if FSU cant fly out.
they scared of the hurricanes

 

[valid]

FSU is on their hands and knees praying to Baby Jesus for a cancellation so they don't have to face the music.

Oct 8th is the day they dread the most.

 

[5XNC]

For the record, I don't think the storm is going to impact the game. I just think the powers that be will overreact and postpone it and we will be sitting here Saturday under sunny skies. I hope they wait until Thursday to make a decision.

This is true. I think their only options are to either fly to Naples Thursday and then bus it to Miami Friday or Saturday. Or fly down on Sat morning. No clue if they'd be able to fly down on a Sat though if Tally gets hit hard the day before.

Canceling the game has got to be last case scenario given the scheduling nightmare it'd cause both teams and the ACC.

This is a concern of mine as well; however, I have to think they're smarter than that.

Why wouldn't they just cancel the game altogether? Is there an ACC rule that prohibits teams from winning the division if they play less than 8 conf games?

The last thing i want is to postpone this game and force our team to play some ridiculous Tue game sandwiched between two Saturdays...we have no more bye weeks left.

 

[dycane]

I'd love to know what controls this decision if the universities disagree. I presume that the ACC would decide.

It's worse, sat then thursday at vt

 

[The Franchise]

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.

This is exactly what should happen. But bureaucrats are prone to being panicky punks and cancelling **** before it needs to be canceled.

The ACC has some bylaw where Coach K gets to decide.

 

[3FW]

The state and local governments decide, not the Universities or the ACC. Game can't be played without police.

The 11 pm advisory now has a hurricane warning, not a watch, for south Florida.

Unfortunately I think this is what's going to happen. I already changed my flight for this ****.

This was likely expected. No way a storm gets that close and you only get a "Hurricane Watch".

 

[section9]

So, we play on Sunday.

Nobody wants to watch to Dolphins anyway...

 

[wacane]

Not good

More importantly, the fact that hurricane winds are now expected surely will cause local officials to lean toward canceling any major events.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Also, this thing is now off the coast of south Florida at 8 pm Thursday, not 2 pm Thursday. That is also a GameChanger.

It's definitely speeding up if you compare the 8 p.m. vs. the 11 p.m. The 8 p.m. ETA has shifted north for both Thursday 8 p.m. and Friday 8 p.m. Lets hope it continues to speed up over night.
