Just a heads up. I was in Bryson City from Wednesday of Last Week to Sunday and rode through the storm. I was able to drive all the way from BC to Asheville and take the Spartanburg SC exit. The roads are clear to get there not sure about the sylva exit specifically.

Not sure if it is students or parents but the comments on Western's social media pages when they said they were going to have the game after canceling the other family weekend stuff is crazy. People are demanding refunds of their tickets since they can't come or are choosing not to come to the game

I-40 EAST HAS REOPENED OUT OF ASHEVILLE! For folks trying to head east to get supplies, Hickory and points east have supplies, gas, water, food, and power.
I-40 West remains closed, but is close to reopening East of Asheville.
Thank you North Carolina DOT for your efforts!

Maybe it is due to the storm damage but this week has been quiet on here leading up to the game or maybe the teams record has tempered the excitement

Probably a little of all of that plus things sometimes are slow coming off the bye week until we get close to game time. I guess a truly historic storm and devestation like this also puts some things in perspective relative to the real world. But I expect the posting to pick up.

I thought of something that could be an asset for our students, the businesses in Dillsboro and Sylva, and to the attendance at the game, and that would be for us to invite food companies to sell food at the game, which would be money for companies like McDonalds, cookout, Jersey Mikes etc. that would help with food for the people that attend the game, and money for local businesses.
If the game is played, I am picking a score: WCU 24 Wofford 16:
I heard that the SoCon will not hold it against us, but we will play just one game less than the teams in the conference. I thought of 1983, when Furman was crowned as the champions of the SoCon. We played Furman twice during the 1983 season tying 10 to 10 during the season and we played them in post season, which we beat them 14 to 7, but Furman was declared the conference champions, as we played one less conference game, so Furman was declared the conference champions.
GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 hope that the football folks are making the decision......By the way we tied Furman 17-17 during the 1983 regular season and then went down and beat them at there place in the playoffs ( MELVIN DORSEY ).....
