blue14devils Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) I know that hindsight is 20/20, but what about the games that were moved to avoid the severe weather. What is your take on this and what are some of the thoughts of teams that were forced to play a day early. Who makes the call when games are rescheduled, I was just wondering what the rules are concerning this matter. Do you think some schools wish they had played on the scheduled night after tonights weather conditions? Just wondering and good luck to all teams on Friday night. I hear the weather will be alot better than tonight. Edited September 17, 2004 by blue14devils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest region4fan Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Kind of like when a coach cancels a game when the opposition is already there and has warmed up and soaked to the bone.Just rain, no lightning! The home team heads for home to get warm and dry.......... then sends the assist. principal to tell( not ask) the visitors' team and coach that the game is rescheduled for the next night. Sound familiar, blue14devil?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest region4fan Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) I guess that is a part of the job description there, huh beethoven??It was only 2 yrs ago that they did it to us. At least Lebanon KNEW that Riverdale moved the game to Thursday.............. a day BEFORE the game!! Maybe they should extend the same courtesy to others in the future?? You know the saying about "what goes around............." Edited September 17, 2004 by region4fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeLoco Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 I think Thursday was the better day, At the start of the game tonight the field was wet, but no puddles. But by the end of the game, was a pool. By tommorrow night, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the saying about "what goes around............." 825344742[/snapback] What about in 1988, when Lebanon went down to Lincoln Co. and the game was cancelled the day of the game. Lebanon had to drive 3 hours back home, then go back the next day. Or when lebanon told Oakland that the game would be played on Saturday in 2002 and Oakland had a good record. I think the Blue Devils spanked that tale. Quit hating on the Blue Devils cause your patriots can't beat them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeCrush23 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 All I know is that instead of teams playing on Friday night in perfect conditions (at least around east Tennessee), a lot of teams were playing in the middle of downpour. And I was sitting in the endzone (where Wilhoit made the field goal) at Neyland in what was supposed to be like the 2002 game on Saturday. But I know the decision makers were being cautious and making sure that everybody (players and FANS) were safe in their travels. Good job.
