# | State of emergency declared for NC in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew Since it's a conference game, in division, between two teams perceived to have a real chance at winning the division, I think not. It will likely be moved up. Canceling and rescheduling would be really difficult, I would think.
honestly, logistics-wise, that seems like the simplest option. Sure, it throws a wrench in things as far as records and whatnot are concerned, but the focus needs to be safety right now and if they keep putting off the decision to move the game to Blacksburg (please oh please oh please oh please), they'll reach a point where it's not really feasible to do that either.
I see a lot of people saying that moving it to Blacksburg would be a good idea but doesn't the path of the storm basically keep going north? if it hits chapel hill wouldn't it just keep on moving a few hours north and hit bburg a little later depending on the speed of the storm? im no meteorologist but just curious?
So looks like Thursday is the best option for playing in NC. I imagine that we need to make a decision tonight if they were going to go that route.
Just curious...anyone think they would cancelled the game?
Here's a timeline of #Matthew impacts for Central NC. Worst time likely Fri ngt/Sat. Any flooding could drag into next week. #ncwx pic.twitter.com/hfnzCNrZbH— NWS Raleigh (@NWSRaleigh) October 4, 2016
This doesn't look good from the perspective of playing on Friday night in CH.

# | State of emergency declared for NC in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew Army football is 3-1 so far and need every shot at a win they can get since they are an independent that relies solely on a handful of bowls contingency factors to get into one so I cant see them wanting a cancellation.
A small but vicious hurricane hit that night before kickoff as well.
I graduated from Byrd and I am about to say something I am sure you have heard before. GET THE HELL OUT OF VINTON!!! I despise that town!
Friday there will be rain from outer of stuff when they mean it will be affecting but there will be a big difference between a game on Friday and Saturday when you look at amount of rainfall and winds . That is of course with current projections
Hey I thought it was funny but it has no place in here.
The line for this game has jumped from Heels -6.5 to Heels -2.5 today. Maybe Vegas knows that the game will be moved to Blacksburg, and is adjusting the home field advantage accordingly.
(This theory has absolutely no basis in fact, but I think it sounds awesome.)
SOUP OR SALAD?

# | State of emergency declared for NC in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew I would like to see a Friday night "home" game....I think we all remember what happened last time we played a NC school on Friday night.....
It was definitely Isabel in 2003 on a Thursday night. We were huddled around a radio in our neighbor's house listening to the game, I distinctly remember hearing about the "onside kick" caused by our kickoff (into the 35+mph winds) flying over all the blockers and turning back upfield before bouncing. The returners couldn't get to it, and the blockers weren't looking for it, but our players saw it and fell on it for great field position.
I need to go back and find a replay for that again, it's been a while.
or your blood severely lacks oxygen...
Welcome to TKP, glad to have you.
Chances VT/UNC gets postponed or moved up?
There's a thread for that, multiple ones actually:

Judging from the current path they're putting out... could be pretty calm for about an hour or so around kickoff...
Of course, that's because the eye would be on top of the NC triangle, but that's beside the point

# | State of emergency declared for NC in anticipation of Hurricane Matthew So new update from WRAL.... the eye of the storm is starting to look like its taking dead aim on the NC Triangle, and would potentially be on top of us right around kickoff for the game....
So.... not the best news
Hurricane Matthew will begin affecting Central NC as early as Friday morning
Emphasis is mine, but that makes it a lot harder to justify a Friday game. I've heard that the hurricane is speeding up as it makes its way north so...
Yeah, I was at the aTm game in the actual hurricane and at this game. The aTm game was rainy and breezy, but it wasn't like the Miami game. That's the worst conditions I've ever seen a VT game played in. That's what we should expect on Saturday.
Poor Fedora, his visor isn't going to keep his head dry at all.
That's awesome.
