Now that this week's game is settled, I wonder about next week's game. Let's face it, things aren't going to improve in the area by next Saturday. Away teams usually stay in Asheville for games in Cullowhee I believe and unlike this week when Wofford is a day trip bus ride anyway, the Citadel is not. Actually, not much is going to change the rest of this season. I wonder if anyone in the athletic department has thought of this. Just because Jackson County didn't suffer catastrophic flooding, as we all know areas east and west did. I hope plans are being made for future games, 10/12, 11/2 and 11/16.
Our trip to ETSU on 11/9 is going to be a bear of a ride. We will have to take I-40 east to I-77 north to I-81 west to Johnson City. That's a 6 hour bus trip and 360 miles. The usual trip is 2-1/2 hours and 120 miles.
GO CATS!!

Do you think we should cancel the rest of our games and forfeit the games to the other teams?

I had wondered if Citadel would just stay at the closest place they could get to WCU's campus. If the hotel near Sonic was open could that not be booked instead or see if Franklin had something?

I don't think playing in an empty stadium is the answer. All I am asking is where do we go from here, because as I said this isn't going to get any better anytime soon!! I see you gave one of your typical questions!! |

The Comfort Inn at the Sonic is usually booked with our fans on game weekends. Not sure about Franklin. |

Judging from here in Sylva, seems like we'll be able to host by then. And no problems with I-26. Hotel rooms would be an issue regardless in the middle of October

Hotel rooms would be an issue regardless in the middle of October Like I said Jackson County is not the problem. Other teams would have made hotel reservations when the schedule came out, so where are they going to stay? |

I'm talking about The Citadel specifically, because its on the outside limits of a day trip - at least after the game. Cherokee might be a solution.

Classes are suspended till Oct 21st for Western students so that might mean hotel rooms are available but it also means if they don't allow non students to come to the game it will be another empty stadium www.facebook.com/share/p/1VjrXTD6nDeACbns/ |

Football teams playing at WCU generally stay at full service hotels. That means in Asheville, Maggie Valley Resort, Waynesville Country Club or Cherokee Harrah's Casino. The Citadel is booked at Harrah's. Basketball and baseball teams can stay at the smaller hotels like Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn Express or Best Western on the river eat at our small restaurants. I would think Waynesville Country Club would no longer be an option because of cost.
