Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Are there flooded out roads or landslides? If so, absolutely postpone it. Otherwise, why postpone a football game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I just don't understand this. It's going to rain all weekend long. You are only letting the field get worse. rjhall71 and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I just don't understand this. It's going to rain all weekend long. You are only letting the field get worse. Curious, how does the wet field change the artificial field conditions? I know there isn't any mud but does the turf get just as slick as wet grass?

BigO 316 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I agree Stu...just trying to rationalize the decisions. I have actually heard that there is potential for massive rain Monday thru Wednesday. So postponing may make it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it, if I made it through that VT/BC game in 07 and the VT/TAMU hurricane game, I'll be fine tonight. Haha. Chappy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
