Hate losing the home game for the players, a chance to get better and the home game revenue.

I suspect they kept this one on the back burner in the event that it mattered for postseason purposes, which it will not.

Had it mattered that woulda been real wacky. Say it was a close tie with Furman Mercer and Sammy. They would have to let this weekend play out and if say Furman win or whatever needed to occur that would have been a Wednesday game? Not important now but eventually will happen with a crazy northern snow storm in early November or something. A team on bubble will need a make up.

Wednesday make up game would be quite unfair. But didn’t happen. I did want this for home game and another game of reps. I mean game reps Do Matter. That’s a given. Number of games played is huge … of well. Keep improving.

Go Furman !

One day if the opportunity presents I would like to ask JD what the contingency was for playing this game. Or if there really was one and they held it back to deliver the bad news when no one would care as much.

I'm betting on the latter.

Same. I doubt there ever was a plan. It’s going to
Happen one day at some school. All it takes is a storm
