Probably not. But im not gonna give the billion dollar corporations the benefit of the doubt here. fug em. 

They should be able to watch the weather over the course of a week and make an educated decision. I have to do it in my line of work for logistics. 

 

It's not just the corporations. Look at all the resources that go into planning for the traffic, etc. To snap your fingers at the last minute and bump a major D1 football game up a few hours is simple to say but it's a logistical nightmare. And predicting scattered thunderstorms a week out? I mean, we all watch the weather. Weather predictions a week out is like planning your finances around scratch off lottery tickets.

I assume the big reason they would be hesitant to flex for weather is less about the teams being able to pull it off and the TV/broadcast/money stuff coming into play 

It's just overall a massive pain in the ass  for something that may or may not happen. You see games rescheduled for hurricanes. You don't see games rescheduled for scattered thunderstorms. It's a lot better to maybe deal with the possibility of an hour or two delay than it is to move the entire operation due to the chance of scattered thunderstorms. It's just part of the deal playing outdoors in the early part of the season. We only have a couple more weeks with it being a major issue.

Sour grapes? Bro, I’m the guy that was just arguing King is THE best QB in the ACC the other week.  You straight up manifesting something here lol.

I merely said they need King to stay on field and healthy….and that is something to question if you talking about a GT run.   Because he gets hurt.  A lot.  

I’ll take GT over any team in the ACC if King is ready to rock and roll.  He is the best player.  
 

 

 

Let me slightly reword that, King is the best QB and therefore the most impactful player.   I would not go so far as the claim he is the best player in the ACC. 

huge King fan.  He is exactly what I would want as my college QB.  Total different wants for my pro team but he is college football to me

Yeah, he's a perfect college QB and big part of that is him being a highly effective QB who doesn't have the skill set that NFL teams clamor for so you don't have to worry about him going pro early. You're going to get all four years out of a guy like that.

      @HeelsPanthersCanes do you think duke and wake have more or less resources than Carolina and do you think they're spending more or less on their football programs? Look at them compared to us.

      When he started playing a little after his benching I noticed something else he had addressed. His nutsack lol. He had been playing not get to get hit.  Andy was a great teacher through example. He stood tall and stepped into a throw when he knew the hit was coming. And it was a big play downfield. It was like the clouds parted and here is your opening. Andy showed the way.  I saw Bryce finally do that and he made a play. It struck me then that he had learned he better sell out if he was going to stay on the field. Stand his ground and step into it.  He was skittish and retreating fe pressure again in the first two games this year.  I understand being gunshy - when you are his size and weight you are going to be on the receiving end every time. You won’t be delivering blows.  But that is an essential component to him winning plays. You saw what happens when he tries to throw off that back foot or falling away. He can’t get away with that.  It ia a tough row to hoe but it comes down to if you want to be the man that is the life of a QB.    And then the footwork of course which is to me, glaring when he abandons the adjustments they have seemingly made to his form. And also obvious in the results when he adheres to it. It is like the lights come on colors are brighter, everything is better.  Those are the two things I took away from his successful return last year.
