I don't see why tennessee's schedule should be inconvenienced for florida's. We will play them Saturday in any appropriate venue they want, be it Knoxville or whatever. Not Friday. Saturday. This is their issue. They can always forfeit.
It's not a rule unless it was added after the LSU/UF fiasco last year. Alleva offered up Baton Rouge, Florida said gimme two straight home games, Sankey made them agree on something.
Dont see why this should change future scheduling. It was an act of nature that could happen any year at many schools. We gonna keep flipping the schedule rotations every time?
That can't be right. What's the incentive to even try to play a game if there's the mildest weather inconvenience? Screw this, we'll do a neutral site game and steal UT's home game next season. That punishes the Vols for the Gators being unprepared for weather they should expect to encounter periodically.
I get that emergency and ancillary services may be low at the moment but I really don't see how they can't find enough people to staff this game and play it at UF. I guess I'm just not understanding the depth of the devastation.
60% of the state is without power, the Keys are completely off limits. I can see where the services could be needed elsewhere in the state.
We'll likely know today. Gators say they can have campus ready for game, but that personnel to work game is a different story. It's Gainesville or here. Atlanta does not appear to be an option.
If they are worried about staffing the place, play it in Gainesville with no fans allowed into the stadium like a baseball team did (Baltimore?) during some recent riots. Florida still gets their home game, doesn't require ****ing around with the schedules, and isn't going to put an unnecessary strain on Gainesville with everyone that comes into town for a game. Refund anyone's money that has a ticket and everyone wins.
I think you are discounting the 85,000 hotdog eating ticket buyers that wouldn't be eating hotdogs or buying tickets.
Then they need to shut the **** up, move the game to Knoxville or a neutral site, accept whatever monies come their way, and allow the schedules to continue on as planned next year.
Call me crazy but isn't Georgia State's new stadium open for this weekend(the old Turner Field)? of course it only holds about 25k though....
