You act as though Florida had advance knowledge their game would be postponed due to a thunderstorm.

Sounds like you're just making excuses in case UGA chokes in this year's WLOCP.

Memo to Beaver Cleaver: the only thing the rainout did was keep Gators from going 12-0 in regular season...now we will have to settle for 11-0 and it will be fun watching us doing it.

Just curious why this wasn't an option.


Think of all the logistics involved that would have to be turned around in one day.

Law enforcement, traffic enforcement, staffing of stadium, hotels, hotel meeting rooms, meals for Idaho, air, buses, concessions needed restocked, stadium cleaned and turned around, repaint field, tv and on and on and on...

It's not as easy as refs and "Well, the other team is already here.

Neither did we. There was no game in the bye to cancel.
