The forecast was for Miami to not be as effected as Gainesville. Miami airport is opening back up tomorrow.

Miami didn't get hit by the storm.

Also, I do want to point a couple things out.

1) You guys are complaining about 3 straight road games, but this would be ours too. The SEC has insurance for money so that's not an issue.

2) We aren't pushovers like SC. Why the heck would we give up a scheduled home game vs a rival and go play at your place? Especially when we have the East still to play for. That's just dumb. I know you all are good fans and would let us have home team and all that but it's still Tiger Stadium and a travel nightmare even with help.

3) Yes, it probably helped that we have a chance to avoid playing you all. I get that but why wouldn't you take every advantage you can?

4) I do reasonably think that our AD and the SEC thought there was a reasonable chance to play this weekend, hence the delay. I think that Gainesville will be perfectly fine honestly. The main issue is Jacksonville, the closest big city to Gville and biggest base. If they're going through a distaster, rough to concentrate on football an hour or so away from that.

5) There still an (unlikely) chance that this benefits one of both of us. If we both win out, UT drops to Bama and aTM, aTm beats Bama & Ole Miss beats aTM, we play in Atlanta.

It sucks overall but sometimes sh*t happens. Make due.
