Then why did Foley go all week with his arms crossed saying Saturday at noon or nothing --until he let the clock run out yesterday? The man REFUSED to consider other options.
There were no other options but to play on Saturday in Gainesville. I'm not sure why he dragged it out, maybe politics or maybe he was trying to figure out if the game really could be played on Saturday. Then maybe when he saw that millions of people were being evacuated that if the game was played on Saturday it would be to an empty house... i.e., lost revenue.
If I'm Foley, I would have cancelled earlier. Who plays a game during a hurricane? That's nonsense. Like I said, it's a lose, lose. If you play, you lose revenue from people leaving the area and you look like an insensitive fukk for playing a meaningless game while your fanbase are hunkering down, without power, water, etc.

Think this one is simple, he was waiting to be absolutely sure the game could not be played Saturday in Gainesville. The very best option was the original plan for all involved including Florida.
