I wonder at what point the thought that the average historical evening temperature in Huntington, WV on Dec. 18 is below freezing will start to enter people's mind?

Day games are fine. We usually get into the upper 40s then. But if everyone is still having to wear masks, those things are going to freeze up and be absolutely miserable for absolutely everyone for an evening kickoff.

Only sensible solution is to move the game to Rice?!

I find the masks warm me up, so they'll likely be helpful!

All good things must end, though, and it seems we will actually start playing (and losing) football games starting this weekend.

It’s been a great ride though!!!

Hey, we are undefeated so far, why the pessimism?

Oops!!

I guess my memory’s not what it used to be... I’d completely forgotten WE’RE STILL ON A THREE GAME WIN STREAK BACK TO LAST YEAR!!!!

CFP CFP CFP CFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judy’s not “at the helm”. She announces decisions that school presidents, chancellors, athletic directors, etc., have already made.

Judy is about as useful as a butthole with taste buds.

UTEP's coach Dimel said today that conference is working to reschedule postponed division games first before other scheduling issues. So I assume the USM vs UTEP game has priority over the USM vs FAU game as far as rescheduling is concerned as an example.

No, I would see it the other way around. FAU needs that game far more than UTEP does.

I think you have a full schedule, FAU doesn't have anything close to a full schedule.
