If they end up playing Wofford I think the school should do a drive for people to bring things to donate for the community. Also if the school could get a sticker made that says WNC Strong for the back of their helmets that would be nice and a flag they run out of the tunnel with that says the same thing

Given we saw some games played today like Mercer @ Wofford and ETSU traveling through it all to play at Citadel, unless WCU doesn’t have power (which campus seems to have now) I would expect the game to be played.
Biggest concern for our team is did everybody make it through the storm ok and can anybody who left for the bye week not make it back?

I don't think that game will be rescheduled, I believe they don't have any mutual open dates the reminder of the season, until the playoffs start. However, they could schedule that week, I don't think either will be making the playoffs this season...

I'm not sure I understand what we are doing here.....When were the players told they could go home and when were they suppose to be back ? ETSU spent 15 hours on a bus going to play Citadel and played the game.....Chattanooga played there game today and yesterday there stadium was under water....Mercer played Wofford today and had no power in the stadium.....Someone with the university sent a message out that the campus has power and food and water ( WCU ) .....

It's my understanding they were given the weekend off from practice, so many went home, none of them )or us for that matter) knew what the storm would do to WNC and the highways. Now most of the roads leading west past Asheville are closed or washed away... Had there been a game this week all the team members would have been together, like the teams you stated above. But this was a bye week for the Catamounts and it was only natural they be given some time off for rest. ...anyway, what does the things other teams had to endure have to do with the Catamounts?

The reason I mentioned the other teams is because someone on here was talking about the game we have on 10/05 with Wofford and if it would be played.....

They will play the game next week. Players that live in Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, etc., etc. will find a way to get to Cullowhee so that they can practice this week. One route is to go 85 to 985 and come up through Clayton, Ga and Franklin and across Cowee mountain or to go 85 and come through Walhalla and come across through Cashiers and highlands. There are enough roads that there is no reason if a player went home that he cannot get back to campus. It might take an extra 2 or 3 hours but there is no excuse that they will not be all back on campus by tomorrow morning to practice. It does not matter if the fans get there. We do not need fans to play the game. If we do not have the game then someone is not very smart.
