5:30 will present some unique traffic problems with Pepsi, Hanes and others letting out around then and creating a massive traffic jam possibly. Still, probably the safest and most reasonable solution
Weekend cancellations starting to roll in. UNC-UCF, State-WVU. I will hate it if State can’t reschedule... wanted them to face the Mountain-Griers.
In Fla landfall means the leading edge of the Hurricane
I am in the this is a bad decision camp. I think this show a callousness towards fan, player and officials safety. I am clearly more biased as an eastern NC resident, but hurricane forecasting in wrought with error. Making this decision today, with the range of outcomes that are on the table seems to be downright irresponsible. I hope the Athletic Dept gets lucky and this is a non-event, but this is poor decision making from my view. But let's be clear, they are making a gamble on this decision. Why gamble here, downside is not worth the upside?
I also think it is hilarious that the WF is considering cancelling classes on Thursday (just tweeted via Wake alert system), not sure how they will be able to justify cancelling classes when they are holding a football game at 5:30 pm on Thursday.
Game will start as scheduled.
the decision is not necessarily final
they moved it up hoping to play the game; if the hurricane speeds up they will no doubt cancel the game
From the ACC:
The league office, Boston College and Wake Forest will continue to monitor Hurricane Florence and make future adjustments as necessary.
fair enough, but flying BC down here isn't a good decision. If they make it a go, no go decision at that point fine. But I think Les presented a better alternative.
Warmups could be shortened, no national anthem, start game at 4:45 PM.
