We Really Need UCiF to Lose Tomorrow Night

Memphis made the decision, they refueled and bolted..The school was already closed. 

Not according to this ....

“Out of an abundance of caution, we agree that the game should not be played on Friday,” UCF athletics director Danny White and Memphis athletics director Tom Bowen said in a joint statement released Saturday morning. “We agree with Gov. [Rick] Scott that preparation for Hurricane Irma should be the top priority for the state. While our fans will no doubt be disappointed, we know they understand that safety has to come first.”

...

After Gov. Rick Scott announced all state universities and public schools would close Friday so that they could be converted into shelters, Florida State and UCF officials changed their original plans to squeeze in games ahead of the storm and ultimately canceled their home contests.

...

“I greatly appreciate the flexibility and consideration Memphis and the American Conference has shown during this statewide emergency,” White said. “I couldn’t have asked for better partnership from Tom or [AAC] Commissioner [Mike] Aresco during this very difficult time for our state.”

Not that I really care, but you're saying Memphis drug their entire team, cheerleaders, etc. down to Orlando Thursday night and flew right back because when they landed they decided that they did not want to play the game anymore?  That just does not make sense.

Don't know that's what he's saying. This just could have been a botch by the UCiF staff, it's possible they were so focused on the game that they forgot about the state's "emergency" and how that would look if they ran a game in the midst of it.

A lot of things don't make sense. I have never steered anyone wrong here. Trust me, or don't. Makes no difference to me.

As long as everyone stays safe. Football is just a game.

Decision to cancel our game, from what I heard, was from President Genshaft via Gov Scott.  Sure the same thing happened at UCF. As much as I'd like to watch some AAC football tonight I'm good with them making the decision.
