if possible, relocate game to Atlanta or Nashville.

The Weather Channel is reporting everyone on the eastern seaboard will perish.

However, if you goto the actual National Hurricane Center website below, it's currently scheduled to hit the Tampa area as a hurricane, quickly turn into a tropical storm and then tropical depression before it gets out of Florida.

Thus far, noon game might be rainy with 10-15mph winds.

Haha about weather channel. Another media disappointment. I was at the NCState game. Miserable but I was young and drunk.

They move the SC State game to Thursday Night? Ian is track to be on top of Columbia at 8pm Thursday Night.

 

[bucketdad]

Yeah, looks like Thursday night. Good move... at least better than cancelled. More time to work on UK

Not from what I have seen

WIS guy said just wind Thursday. I think it hits Florida Thursday, not here.

 

[FCB 2013 treble]

I think this will be the first Thursday (regular season) night game since playing at Vanderbilt in 2016.

 

[gamecockblack]

Ian now a category 3 hurricane. Winds up to 125 mph.

Bs. Need the W. Will move to Thursday, because we need the w, and SC state needs the money.

Once again. - taters have no regards for state resources. Guess they use helicopters again to dry their tailgate lots. I’m guessing they will move the game to Sunday - later this week.

If taters decide to play on Saturday. They should have to use their police force and local sheriffs to patrol traffic. The HP will be busy this weekend with other - more important responsibilities.

I’m sure a the standard house taters will oppose this logic. It’s hard to hide sheep. .

This morning on WIS, the weather guy was saying rain should drop off by Saturday afternoon.

Of course, some areas in the lower to middle part of the state could face flooding on Friday.

I am glad I do not have to make these decisions.

I think playing the game on Thursday for us was a good idea just to get the game done with no matter what happens.

Fort Myers is getting hammered:

 

[DeeDave]

Watching The Weather Channel last night, today, and will be watching tonight.

They are excellent and hopefully will give us insight on what South Carolina can expect tomorrow since that's gameday.

 

[bucketdad]

Dang at this rate it'll be in fla till saturday.

You have to watch those weather channel people carefully. Remember the videos with the weather reporter holding on to a post to keep from being blown away by the terrible winds and two guys and a little dog walked behind him with not a hair blowing out of place? How’d they do that? A good friend in Tampa says the locals listen to no national weather reports because there’s too much hype - but they do listen to the local stations.

Best wishes and prayers to the people in Fort Myers and all others in the path of this storm.

I sure don't miss driving to the coast to board up a house any more. It makes me sad in the summer to not have it, but glad i don't have to worry during hurricane season.

It’s getting a little sporty down here (Mt. Pleasant).

 

[the orange dog]

You fellers stay safe over there. Looks like parts of Florida will take a long, long time to get back to “normal”. Hopefully it won’t be nearly as bad when it comes ashore this next time. Prayers for all of you’uns.
