A little unusual they are forecasting it to strengthen to a Cat 4 before weakening to a Cat 1, hopefully before landfall.

I actually think it’d be kind of cool if they played at Eastern Washington, but it’s not fair to ask coaches and players to leave their families and homes behind during a hurricane.

What city are you in?

I wish LSU had been political enough to try this in 2005 with the Arizona State and Tennessee games.
The 2005 football season may have looked a lot different with a healthy and rested 9-0 LSU team going to Atlanta.

SEC will likely step in and find an alternate site
New Orleans is available, Saints are in London
They could play in Houston or Arlington as well

If I lived within 60 miles of Tampa I would already be gone. The storm surge and flooding in the Bay Area is projected to be ridiculous. The traffic will be ridiculous soon also.

They are also wealthy, take them with the team. Basically evacuate everyone with the football program.

EF5 Tornado has entered the conversation.
I get the irony but we also had tornados in Florida along with those hurricanes. Thankfully the terrain around where I live protects me for the most part from tornados, but if you go to the south side of Ft Leonard wood it is a totally different story. All that said, if a tornado gets you, its pretty quick, not something that impacts all the grocery stores and gas stations for a week prior.

Tornadoes are a lot scarier, but generally the damage is more localized, and unless it's an EF4 or 5, major hurricanes usually bring comparative wind damage along with flooding.
Ian's coastal impact is basically going to stretch from Naples to Destin, and there will be power issues in large parts of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.

That would be the logical solution, yes, but this is UF we're talking about.
Of course, yes, the "logical" solution of suddenly rearranging the logistics around travel, accommodations, broadcasting within 5 days versus just rescheduling the game.

Don't ever think terrain will protect you. It won't. Not one little bit.
We used to think that in Chattanooga, because we are surrounded by mountains. USED TO THINK THAT.
Ask the people of Rainsville and Sylvania Alabama. April 27, 2011, The Day of the Storms. That tornado came across the mountain top on Sand Moutain and killed about 30 people in one county. It then went down the mountain side, you could see the path, and wiped out Trenton, Georgia.
I was looking out my back door in Chattanooga when the the first of three rounds of tornadoes came through. Trees and telephone poles started hitting the ground and I was running for cover.
That was the same day Tuscaloosa was wiped out by a tornado.

Shocking news

Sorry to hear. I know a lot of you folks who live around there are probably used to it to some degree but you never know when it could hit your area really hard. Prayers.

Not that big of a deal for people that do it for a living.
Posted on 9/26/22 at 10:25 am to GatorOnAnIsland
Looking at 140mph winds at landfall. Gainesville is on the bad side of this thing too

It's not just the location. I imagine most of UF's roster is Florida kids. If they need to be helping their families prepare and/or evacuate, they need to be focused on that. Not on a plane to Washington to play what is most likely a meaningless blowout game.

I said for the most part it protects, there certainly are exceptions though. Part of my old job was mapping natural disasters and so prior to moving here I looked at some historical data for the area when it came to tornados.

I saw that the projected path could have it making landfall at Cedar Key, that town can't take another big hit.
