UCF-Memphis game canceled

[HurriHeat]

Hurricane Irma forces officials to cancel UCF, Memphis game - Orlando Sentinel

The game was originally for Saturday moved to Friday night and now not happening this weekend. So much for the theory of moving up our game to Friday.

Just curious.

FAU is hairy bush league, this game is probably paying for their entire 2017 athletic budget, they will wait until the last moment before they cancel.

As a Tulane fan, I have, um, some experience in discussing these issues.

People who are saying "this is bigger than football how can you expect them to play football at a time like this?" are partially correct. It is hard. But Tulane played an ENTIRE SEASON on the road migrating from school to school in 2005, living in abandoned dorms, while their families were recovering from the storm. The players had their entire city under water. The school was closed for the *entire* semester, and they still found a way to play their entire schedule. Was it tough? Yeah. But most of the players (I think Matt Forte for instance) are glad they did it. Point is, you can't tell me that Miami can't play one road game three days before the storm arrives and tell me that its because some things are bigger than football. Literally everything is bigger than football, it doesn't mean we don't expect football players to play football when it's possible for them to do so. Houston is playing a road game this weekend, I'm sure their players have a lot on their minds too!

That Tulane fan doesn't realize that in Miami people know what needs to be done to prepare for a hurricane

I bet Matt Forte thinks so.

They were also pre-season dogs in every game that season except 1 I believe. Thanks for the data though.

Some people just double down on their idiocy, or trolling, or whatever lunatic thoughts they have rolling around their malformed heads. Definitely some form of mental disease.

And Katrina made landfall on August 29th. Tulane played their first game on September 17th.

That's 19 days.

So this guy is comparing 3 days before to 19 days after.

I bet the Canes will be playing 19 days from the storm's landfall.

I went to Tulane. Katrina hit before the season started. It hit New Orleans on Aug. 29th. Tulane played their first game on Sept. 17th. But, please go on.

It's not me saying that. I'm just quoting.

FAU doesn't seem to think this is as big a deal as UM.

Maybe it's because they are a smaller program? I don't know.

I didn't see any of them playing during the storm. Apples and oranges.

Or UF.

FSU.

USF.

UCF.

Miami led on this. They were the first. That's something to be proud of. The U let their players/coaches/staff focus on the Hurricane sooner than all of these other schools.

Is FAU going to be the apple or the orange tomorrow when they play Wisky?

I think he is forgetting that he is talking about Tulane here. You treat Tulane like a back page hooker, but not an established power 5 school like Miami. Miami is doing you a favor in the first place w/ NO benefit of even playing this game to begin with. Miami isn't about to move mountains just so you can have your little pay day that would of been a 40+ point victory for Miami. Don't give me this "we played Nebraska close!" App State played Tennessee close last year and what happen? That same Tennessee played Nebraska in a bowl game last year and basically dominated them. Basically what I'm saying is Tennessee is way better then Nebraska and if App State played TENN tough last year and still lost 45-10 to us then we would of slammed Ark State as well. This is why you don't schedule these games. No benefit ANYWHERE. No real financial benefit, your increasing your chances of getting upset even if it just by 0.1%, and it just not a good look that we'd even agree to do a home & home mid-level school.

Hope this is a learning lesson for Blake.
