Florida Gators Issues Weather Statement Regarding Saturday's Game vs. LSU

It'll get postponed

They should move the game to Tiger Stadium. There, I called it. Will anyone listen to me? Probably not.

WHY iS it wriTTen LIKE THis?!

"If the hurricane stays on its current track..." That's a pretty big "if"...stands to reason that if they are evacuating, the game will be postponed.

Tulane at UCF postponed....LSU/Florida to follow?

Frustrating, bought tickets to South Carolina last year and the same thing happened. Looking forward to the 3:00 announcement.

We are flying in Thursday and I really don't know what the airlines are going to do yet. I may get there and not be able to get for a few days!

Though the storm is devastating when it hits, but it is always the aftermath that is where the real issues arise. Power, Housing, Roads, Transportation. It will be interesting with a State of Emergency in place whether they play or not.

What's up with the font choices in his statement?

The fact that Gainesville will not be directly hit means nothing. LSU still has to fly in and emergency responders may also be needed in other parts of the state. I think they are being very optimistic here.

I read it as someone yelling at the beginning and calming down a little and then yelling again and finishing off calm.

Florida is in denial like South Carolina was last season

I think the best thing that can happen for LSU is to play this game at its original site, date and time. This football team is ready to go into the Swamp and come away with a win.

As big of an LSU fan as I am, I will not celebrate people going through a potentially devastating storm so we get an extra home game.

Models are going nuts and continue to trend westerly... the Euro (the most dependable of the models) even shows this storm doing a loop after making a landfall in Florida and curving back for a second landfall and subsequent path into the Gulf as a weak tropical storm. I would say that there is a 95% chance that this game will be moved/ canceled.

Those of you going to GNV check your reservations, State of FL is likely to commandeer Hotel rooms for 1st Responders and Utility Crews

Florida will decide to cancel so they can get more time to prepare.

I'm waiting to hear what Nash says.

The last 2 updates on Intellicast have brought the Hurricane closer to Florida. Where Gainesvlle wasn't even in the yellow, it's now in the orange which says 60 mph winds. Don't blame me, blame the hurricane trackers.

Mostly, let's hope those in Gainesville (especially in areas of the more direct path) come out clean. Then let's play some ball.
