I hope they don't bring the game to Cullowhee at the expense of having to trade next year's home game with GWU.
IMO, this year's game will have low attendance, played at GSU or WCU. Play in Boiling Springs as scheduled.

As I understand it, it definitely won't be at G-W as originally scheduled. Weather predictions say the best option is Cullowhee on Saturday. I really hope that is the decision they make.

The other thing is that we have to play the game. It shouldn't matter even if we move the game to G-W next year or split the gate with them if that is what they require. No game this year means no chance at all for the playoffs unless we run the table in the conference.

Hey everyone, Sorry I do not have any defining info but I just contacted both WCU and Gardner Webb in reference to when or (IF) this game will be played. Both WCU and GWU gave me the same info that they are still trying to get more information before making a decision but should have a decision made by no later than 5pm today.
For me as I work for CMPD which could determine if i can go or not. Rumor is we are moving to emergency staffing which means i will not have any days off till it is lifted except for the vacation that i was pre approved for on Saturday,3 months ago. But even on Saturday depending on weather, where and when the game is played will have a factor on if i can make it. I work night shift so if its early and moves to Cullowhee it may not be safe for me to drive up the mountain with no sleep.
Anyway i will update when I know more.

Thats the official word as of right now and the option both schools are hoping to keep, but its really not guaranteed as GWU and WCU is trying to make a decision thats best and safest for both teams, so its very likely to change. Should know by 5ish today. |

Just posted on the WCU Barstool Twitter that it has been moved to 6pm Friday at G-W
Stupid decision if you ask me, because we will be playing in high wind conditions.

Will be awhile waiting on the GWU athletics site - they don't even seem to have even a generic blurb like Western does up about the storm and potential impact to their upcoming games.
On the university's site they mention a decision about the game to be made in "the next few days" but nothing on their athletic site.
