How are you going to get out of playing the game? And what would be the excuse? "We didn't have enough time to prepare?" I would assume that would be a forfeit.

Wow. Any relation to Arkansas State fans? Florida is going through a potentially catastrophic natural disaster. Would your tone be the same if San Diego was in the midst of a devastating earthquake the week of their next football game at Colorado? Douche.

Ummm, I have evacuated my home, sandbagged it, and have taken my family, which includes a five day old daughter to my in-laws house. We are riding the storm out here, as my in-laws live three hours north of where we live, and do not live on a barrier island like my family does. My home is three blocks from the beach. Thankfully for us, the storm appears to be staying south.

I have been activated to respond to six Hurricanes in the past five years. The only reason I am not activated for this one, is because my Commander told me to take care of my new born as opposed to stage at the armory with my Soldiers. Thus I complied. I have more experiences serving during Hurricanes, and other natural disasters and personally preparing for them, than I would ever wish upon anyone.

Point remains, many teams make this work. For example, my Alma Mater has adjusted two straight years to Hurricanes. Last year, we played a game against North Greenville, instead of at home. This week, we played at Presbyterian College, instead of at home, and the players are at a camp ground. Miami Central played a game in Vegas on Friday night. Numerous other teams adjusted.

Furthermore, none of the players are essential first responders, like some of the rest of us. Thus, it is logical to transport them to another location, where they can practice and then play.

Be careful who you call a douche, when you know nothing of the person, their service, or their current situation.

Your service while commendable does not distract from the fact that you just advocated for a team to forfeit because a hurricane is hitting them. Pretty sure that falls in douchey catagory.

Exactly. You, fanhood, initiated all this with your comments, especially on a fan board with a huge connection to the state of Florida. I have multiple family members who got stuck there, particularly my grandparents and uncle in Naples. To suggest people are using this hurricane to dodge football opponents shows a total lack of sensitivity regarding the serious situation at hand. And I take that personally.
