I've got tickets to the Duke - Carolina game Wed.

I'm going to the game Wednesday and it's looking like NC might get slammed with a winter storm. My question is... what would it take for them to postpone the game due to weather?

 

The reason I ask is, I'm going to be driving about three to three and a half hours to get to the game in normal conditions, add in snow and ice, it could be brutal!! I've spent a lot of money on tickets and lodging and right now I'm afraid I'm going to waste it all! Do/Will they postpone a basketball game due to weather? If so, How far in advance do they do it?

 

I put this in the lounge because I thought I might get a better response than the basketball forum. Mods, if you feel it needs to be moved, I understand!

 

Thanks for any help I can get!!!

They don't postpone games due to weather unless the teams can't make it.

When Atlanta got hit with the blizzard and the entire city shut down, unc played ga tech that night and the game still went on because the team was already there. No fans or camera crews could make it though and the game still went on.

Not knowing your work schedule/real life stuff - I'd look into getting a hotel room. They aren't gonna cancel/postpone the game. Unc had to play in ATL (GaTech) a few weeks ago when all that crap snow was going on. They had horrible travel conditions and the city basically shutdown...they still had to play.

U could always sell them if you're that concerned. It sucks but they'd fetch a nice price.

Thanks for the info guys! I can't really sell the tickets because my girlfriend's son is on the basketball team and this is the only chance she is going to get to go see them. I would break her heart if I sold them!

 

I have a 4WD so I think i will be OK as long it's just snow, if it is an ice storm I'm screwed! I have hotel reservations, so as long as I can get there I won't have to worry about driving back!

LOL!!! He's not a player, he wears a suit and sits behind the bench. I don't really know what he does but he always sits behind Roy Williams.

 

What will really suck is when you see a half-empty arena and you paid a crapload for the tickets. On the other hand, you'll probably be able to "upgrade" and move a lot closer to the floor.

 

I haven't thought about that, but with it being Duke and UNC, I can't see it being half empty! But you better believe if I get the chance I will get closer!

No doubt.

While your enjoying one of the best sporting events in America at a "half empty arena" - Anybodyhome will be sitting on his couch playing with his cat. Hopefully his 7/11 doesn't sell out of Busch Light before the big game.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By CRA · Posted

      Dave would have the excuse/logic that he hasn’t been able to bring a QB that fits his O.  That was the prior HCs QB and it got that HC fired with quickness.   Can’t expect Dave to win this year without a QB if he went 5-12.  Morgan tied Bryce to him by not dealing him.   Be horrible this year and Dave isn’t getting more time most likely

      Highest rate of incompletions due to WR error

      That's a serious word salad. Anywho. Both Justin Fields and Daniel Jones have always had something Bryce Young does not possess. The necessary physical tools.

      Highest rate of incompletions due to WR error

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      What it feels like is a horrible source reality. What a person sees is a horrible source for reality. Stats can be easily misunderstood because because they are interpretive and contextual. Very large data sets with dozens more more connected variables are difficult to deal with and understand correctly. Throw in confirmation bias, abstraction, emotions and the way human brains are wired make it really easy to roll with eye tests and intuition. The negativity for Bryce was really high and most were ready to trade that asset for peanuts until the second half of last year when he began to play much, much better.  Hope sprang eternal.  The Saints game last year.  Going toe to toe and almost beating the two teams who went to the Superbowl last year.  Beating the Falcons when the Falcons had everything to play for.  Haters started adjusting their tune. Fan and media starting saying it looks like Carolina has found their franchise QB.   The real answer was and is, maybe. If he plays great on Sunday the anti-Bryce crowd will find other excuses or say it's only one game. If he plays horrible, it'll be more of the "I told you so. I knew it before he was drafted." (which is beyond stupid since there there is not an actual way to know if a player will be successful in the NFL or not.) I'll leave with a simple example.  Of the initial list of incompletions due to WR error, Jarod Goff has 0.  He was 31 for 39 at an almost 80% completion percentage.  His WR's much has balled out. Except when you add the facts that only 11 of those passes were to WRs.  14 were to RB's and 6 to the TE.  Gibbs has 10 of those receptions and he's elite so that explains why we shouldn't put much stock into this stat.  But then we see that Gibbs also set an NFL record with the least number of yards (31) for any player with at least 10 receptions in a game. Fun stuff! Oh yeah.  From week 1 how many people had Justin Fields and Daniel Jones playing at elite levels?
