TNET: Why is Clemson playing as hurricane approaches? Clemson AD speaks out

Why is Clemson playing as hurricane approaches? Clemson AD speaks out
As the states of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia prepare for this week’s arrival of Hurricane Florence, college football contests across the region have either been moved or canceled. That includes Clemson’s home game against Georgia Southern, which was scheduled for 3:30 pm Saturday but was pushed back to noon, and plans are still in place for the game to proceed.

I'm up in the air with this decision.

I think by Friday evening/early Saturday they are predicting rain and some pretty high winds around Lexington. While it may be minimal rain and winds in the far upstate, it may be a lot worse on those driving from central SC. I'm sure the crowd won't be as huge. Also, it's somewhat of a distraction for players (even though coach's tell us otherwise). It's a little tougher to start getting pumped up for a game, then the time change and you know it could even be cancelled. With that being said, I'm positive Radakovich and co. are closely monitoring and making the best decision for Clemson & fans. Anyone thinking it may be cancelled at some point?

Perhaps those that live in the mid/low State shouldn't go to the game? Just a thought.
Clemson doesn't have the luxury of crappy teams like SC and UNC of playing a game the first week of December to try and make a bowl as we'll already be playing in the ACCCG.
This game is needed as a final tuneup for GT, and Georgia Southern needs the payout.
Mid-upper SC is only expected to get 3-8". It isn't anything that hasn't happened before, even in the last 2 years.

for most people, it's not a matter of being scared
Sep 13, 2018, 4:04 PM
|
|
it's a matter of being safe... traveling in windy and rainy conditions makes travel percentages riskier. It truly and only a personal decision for anyone who had made prior arrangements to attend the game but are now weighing their options because no one can predict how this particular storm may change and impact travel to and from Clemson as well as impacting the upstate and Clemson area... one thing that can happen is a spin off of tornadoes from the outer bands of the storm, as well as the stall that is currently happening changing into a full on charge inland...

Clemson can't afford the lost revenue
Sep 13, 2018, 11:50 AM
[ in reply to I'm up in the air with this decision. ] |

that would result from cancelling the game. Our school doesn't have the revenue flow that other schools have so we simply can't afford to lose the money. So, if it is at all possible to play, the nClemson will play the game.

Unfortunately, I feel that it will but I too appreciate DRad not making a jerk decision. The storm is no where what it was 2 days ago. Dry air is wrapped into the center and slowed too. If it stalls or rides the coast it’ll be a nice day in Clemson. A lot of people are already up there from the coast. Would like to hear their perspective.
I would hope that all of the players families have been taken care of so the players wouldn’t be distracted... as much as I really want a game, I want it to be a meaningful game too without distractions.
I was really wanting this game for two reasons. One to get the negative taste from last week behind us and two, excellent chance to get those ‘18 freshman class more experience. And yes, get TL more experience too. I would hope he and Chase would get the majority of the snaps.

It's not going to be noticeable in the upstate at all and people in Columbia will be surprised at how not severe it is.
It's going to rain alot. That's it. That's happened before. Just drive slower and you will be fine. Don't let the TV news companies fool you. They almost always oversell it. There is a storm of the century every 6 months on average.

They were telling us 140 mph winds and 40 inches of rain
Sep 13, 2018, 6:54 PM
[ in reply to As per usual, people are overreacting to the weather news. ] |

in some places. This is the storm of the century because global warming made it the first Cat 4 since Hugo to hit the Carloinas and the first Cat 4 to hit NC directly since Hazel.
Except, it looks like it will be Cat 1 when it makes landfall. We will have to compare the 40 inches later.

We are not traveling to game, as well as most of the people in Charleston. There is to much uncertainty in the weather conditions to travel for a game and get slammed by weather coming up, then get slammed by bad weather coming back. I don't know where Dan is getting his info from, but SC is under a STATE OF EMERGENCY statewide and everything east of basically I-95 is under evacuation order. I understand the merchants in the Clemson area don't wont to see a home game cancelled, but I guess the safety of the people that travel and spend money while there doesn't matter. I'll watch it on ESPN U .GO TIGERS!!!

just not safe to anyone that is in your area. However, Clemson is far enough away that its just a different situation there than compared to the other half of the state...as far as Saturday is concerned. Im sure DRad knows attendance will be down but if we dont play then it will not be made up. Weather is good Saturday in Clemson. In hindsight they probably should've played game tonight but they not have been feasible/agreeable with both teams/TV network.

Good call . If you don’t feel safe stay put. If you think it’s gonna be ok ...go to the game. It’s called FREEDOM OF CHOICE.....but if the game had been canceled those of us that don’t mind a little risk in our lives would not have that option. Go Tigers

Everything east of I-95 is not under mandatory evacuations. The counties south of Charleston (Jasper, Colleton and) Beaufort are cleared.
I do not know anyone personally who evacuated Charleston. I live in Charleston. My neighbors are all here, my friends are still here. If people did evacuate odds are they went to the Upstate. So why not go to the game if they are in the area.

Sep 13, 2018, 12:06 PM
|

the same reason we moved the game to noon...Noon games are cheaper...It doesn't have anything to do with safety, or getting home, we simply don't want to lose the revenue a home game would bring in, even a sparse one at noon...And a 3:30 game isn't pushed BACK to noon, it is moved forward...Unless you have a Flux Capacitor

Not just money for Clemson, but GA Southern would be forfeiting a nice check, too. If the game can be played, it needs to be played. Maybe they'll let in some evacuees for free to take up the seats the 'stay at home' crowd won't use. Not like the game was going to be a sellout, anyway.
I hate it for the folks who can't be there. I know there are more pressing concerns. But, should the people who can be there just say to hell with it because you can't? Sorry, the world doesn't turn that way.

earlier in the week they should have rescheduled the game. Just my $0.02
Kinda got lucky with Florence fizzling out and hitting as a Cat 1 and slowly moving across the state as a tropical depression. Had it been a cat 4 that maintained strength and hit Greenville Saturday night as originally expected, this would be a negative mark on Clemson.

That's a broad range to highlight, though... winds in the 30s are no different than an afternoon thunderstorm. Winds in the 60s or 70s are a different story.
To me, the game is played for the benefit of our players in getting them another week of reps after their TAMU corrections. The money is a close consideration along with that. If it's dangerous for fans to travel, don't go - that's a personal call for anyone going, but the University needs to keep pressing on if it's safe for the two teams (which the only real concern here is GA So's travel).
Pro sports (yes, I know, apples and oranges) have been played with no fans in attendance before... it's unfortunate, but it's worth pointing out that it's happened many times.

To all you TNET pundits, this is a big decision that estimates the impact to fans. No one realky knows where all our fans travel from., so the impact on their decision is unknown. Much of NC and coastal SC may be traveling with significant risk. They can stay at home and not attend the game, as I will, but please don't make fun of the gravity of decision either to postpone or attend. It's really not an easy one and is fraught with risk. Go Tigers.

We're definitely not going to evacuate from Kingstree, but at the same time we're not going to put our families on the road (twice) with a major rain/wind event in the area. Also, I doubt that we'll be able to watch the game live because our power will probably out on Saturday. Go Tigers, and we'll see you at the next game.

I still think they should play the game on Friday. The weather channel just showed the whole area around Greenville/Clemson covered with winds of 30 mph or higher at 12:35AM Saturday morning....but we will see..I have a feeling not many are going except the students to this game.

Moving to Friday might have been discussed earlier in the week but the details might not have been able to be worked out. Example Georgia Southern might not have been able to secure accommodations for the football team for Thursday night and busing up from Statesboro the day of the game was unacceptable for the Eagles.

to cancel the game in Clemson. There probably won't even be any rain in Clemson when the game starts. Even in Columbia, there's only supposed to be a half inch of rain.

Someone doesn't believe in "the healing power of sports."

We should cancel a game every time there is a severe weather event somewhere in America.
Right?

I think judging from past hurricanes that the Weather Channel has absolutely beaten the top off of the Drama Drum with this storm. Will there be damage? Yes. Will there be flooding? Yes. Will it absolutely devastate and destroy anything living in the southeastern states for generations to come with very little chance for recovery in the near future as it has been advertised by the “learned minds”? Yeah ok whatever.....

The Weather Channel

Is in the advertising business...it's just another reality series.
Fans come from Georgia, Tennessee and elsewhere...not just the Myrtle Beach area. Charleston may ultimately get some heavy rain, although I'm skeptical. What it won't get, unless goes waaaay south, is storm surge. All Charleston's wind is coming from onshore...pushing water away. I'd wager Folly Beach/IOP looks more like a severe low tide later this afternoon.

I still haven't figured out how a "reality" series has nothing to do with reality.

Well the “killer, monster, unprecedented, earth shattering” thunderstorm has passed and I may cut grass tomorrow. We need some legislation about “causing a panic” when forecasting the weather. Go Tigers!

I think our team should all act as brothers. Together they should take a knee during the opening kickoff in protest of Hurricane Florence. Let our show of unity be a positive statement on such a slow sports day.
Tell the Weather Channel to keep their storms out of mainland US once football season starts.

While we're at it, let's just shut down life as we know it.

Let's cancel school, church, occupations, government activities, vacations, and hobbies since someone, somewhere might not be in a position to enjoy it too.

"Hurricane Florence starts its slow, PROLONGED ASSAULT on the Carolinas." CNN
"Hurricane Florence LONG SIEGE is Beginning; Storm Surge, CATASTROPHIC Flash Flooding, High Winds to HAMMER the Carolinas, Appalachia" Weather Channel
Hurricane Florence could bring LIFE-THREATENING FLOODS, conditions to areas away from coastline as well. Fox News
If you want the real weather news, watch Jeff Piotrowski on Periscope. Dude literally goes to the worst part of the storm and films it live on his phone. I saw him almost die in Houston. #blueshed

I’m glad that our game is still on but, it sucks that we won’t get to watch Marshall embarrass the coots.

Why is Howard's Rock not centered with the field and the Oculus? Out of symmetry drives me crazy. My sophomore surveying crew could have done that better.

So resources used for the game might not be better be used helping out with this storm, no matter how small or normal or downgraded several of you think it is ?
Play the game later and help people now. We don't KNOW those resources won't be needed. Can't take that chance, to say the least.
Doing the right thing is what's important, not pr, but this is a pr disaster too.

did we have a "PR Disaster" with that one also?
I don't remember as I was without power and disconnected from the world for a few weeks after.
But I don't recall one. And I had FUN at the Maryland game that Saturday in 1989 despite my property lying in ruins.

Wes Durham just called David Hood out on this article. He wants David to know that he is on the ACC This Program. It is not just Mark Packer and it is not the Mark Packer show.
