If anyone had said a week ago that the end result of this hurricane would have been the current status of citizen's lives, etc; everyone would have cheered. However, the loss of 60 minutes of football action seems to be at the top of a couple of _____'s list of importance.
Glad our UCF friends seem to be safe and secure.
The decision has never been the safety of Floridian citizens OR playing a football game. This is Florida, everything will be back to normal by tomorrow, excluding the hardest hit areas in SOUTH Florida (not Tampa).
Disney and Universal are opening TODAY, Tampa is hosting two football games, FSU and Miami postponed their game, UF will play their game one way or another.
Why couldn't UCF avoid cancelling this game one way or another, the second game in a row cancelled? Why did Rick Scott volunteer UCF's campus and not UF's, or any of another equally accessible and local locations? Rick Scott's incompetence doesn't stem from his ability to manage crises. Even George W. Bush performed admirably and effectively in the face of 9/11.
Do you really think Gainesville is as accessible as UCF? I am sure that in the back of his mind Rick Scott is really concerned about screwing UCF It is simple. For UCF the decision was that the money was not worth the risk and hassle. It takes them three days in a normal situation to get ready for gameday. With much of their resources busy elsewhere no way they get it done. think of all the security and emergency response people who are necessary to put on a football game, let alone the employees, concessions workers, field maintenance etc. UCF made the right decision for this game...last game was not their decision evidently but they supported the decision.
Much of Oviedo still without power. I have family staying at Disney Springs because that is the only place they could find a hotel.
UCF will regroup and have extra time and rest to prepare for Maryland.
Why couldn't they use the Shitrus bowl?

Yes, the first question that comes to mind, is why can't UCF use the citrus bowl for one game. Give me one good reason.

Rock Scott is a wise man

Yes he is. UCF fans don't know how good they got it under his leadership
Saved UCF from two monumental ass whippings. They should love him.

How can you play a game if the National Guard is using the stadium as a staging area?

RE: GT @ UCF cancelled.
In doing a little research on Rick Scott, I found out that he received his law degree from SMU...
It all makes sense now!!! He must have seen UCF as SMU's biggest competition for the NY6 Bowl and is trying to knock them out of contention by any means necessary.
I'm also now hearing Scott may have in fact been responsible for Irma in the first place. More details to come...

Ah, the SMU Texas connection. I get it now, he was responsible for Hurricane Harvey as well. Carry on.

So you're 19. You don't count.
Just kidding. Wish I was 19 again.
Oh wait. You're 29. Dang. I'm losing it.
ETA.... Still wish I was 19, doe.

He read this thread and got pissed off and canceled the GT game. Called the governor and ordered him to call it off.
