If the game is played is anyone on this board going to try to make it despite the conditions? I have flip flopped back and forth on it but I think I have settled on staying home based on the fact i have heard from the people i know in the area that the amount of gas available is still a concern

Furman & Samford are already minus one game. I do hope we can play this weekend, but I heard that the final announcement will be made tomorrow. I am confused by what there is to decide. We need to play this game if we want to win the conference. It is a big handicap to play one less home game. The school has power and water and the players are practicing. Why would anyone decide not to play this game. It will also be a great distraction to all the problems caused by the storm and allow some people to take their minds off all the problems. I too hope the football coaches are making the decision.

I too hope the football coaches are making the decision. It goes beyond football. There are whole towns gone, at least 30 dead and more than 600 people missing. There was a huge public out cry when Clemson played last Saturday, as there is now about Western possibly playing. I hope they play and play in Cullowhee, before cancelling they should consider moving the game to Wofford. Either way if the game is played I will be there.
GO CATS!!

I too hope the football coaches are making the decision. I too hope they play, and I will be there if they do! I agree with your comments, but this is what I’m hearing from within the team: - Water (safe water) is getting low. Residence are having to boil (faucet) water before drinking. A sewage facility comprised near campus. - Roads are barley safe for cars, so (3)buses….. - WCU cannot get confirmation on EMS being available for the game - WCU still have players NOT on campus - Wofford ran out of water in the 3rd qtr on Saturday - Wofford players are being rationed on food because it’s low - Wofford players are sleeping in the locker room - Visiting teams usually stay in Asheville, not an option now That’s just what I’m hearing. Not sure how accurate some of the Wofford info is, but could be the situation on their campus.

Commenting on 2 of your points: I-26, I-40, 19/23 are safe, so it wouldn't be a problem for busses Hotel rooms would not be needed for Wofford, as it would be a day trip. Can't speak on the Wofford situation.

I am driving up to NC from FL tomorrow afternoon with a U-Haul trailer full of supplies and donations that we raised at our church. We will be delivering that to a couple of churches and donation sites all-day Friday and then it is a bit up in the air on what I might need to do to help my mom and numerous in-laws I still have in the Marion and Old Fort area. Making it to the game is iffy, but if the game is on and there is anyway I can go I will try. I don't get to the area nearly enough during football season and by chance (although a tragic one) I will be close and will make the game if at all possible.

Just watched Tre Lamb presser and he said yes they are playing and going to use the game as a beacon of hope for the folks around East Tenn. which got hit just as hard as western NC.....

Can't speak on the Wofford situation. Not saying the game will not happen. Just obstacles that need to be overcome. Yes roads are being opened and a short drive. I think they can make it happen, just need to work out some logistics.
