BUT, if the ACC calls it off, when does it get rescheduled?
We have no BYE week until the week after the ACC Championship Game.

Then why say it? Is this like if a tree falls in the woods with no one around does it make any noise?

I don't think that's so unlikely. Lightening would do it. The game starts at 8:00, so a delay of a couple hours would essentially cancel the game. They're not going to have them play at 2:00 in the morning. They're moving and changing times for games all along the coast already.

From what I've seen earlier in the day will be worse so moving it up may not be a good option. Of course it will give more potential for delays but as you stated 8pm kick really dosent leave much room: I say move it to 3:30,-'d that gives more wiggle room.
I know TV would not like that

ND falls in the first category; unfortunately it doesn't look like it falls in the 2nd as it would require other adjustments. Quite honestly, they need to be thinking about loading the plane for South Bend and moving the 2020 game here. Or is there another location free on Sat outside the flood zone?-- moving the game to another day is not an option, no bye dates and getting ready for GT is going to be hard enough and critical conf game--they shouldn't consider moving to Sunday or Monday. I guess the w/e after ACC championship would be an option. A lot of stuff got scheduled weird when 9/11 happened. Most other time it's only been a few games effected by storms.
if this forecast doesn't change in the next 24-30 hours, the whole state will probably in a state of emergency and everyone ordered off the road-- at that point cancellation won't be avoidable
just hope something happens that changes the forecast/shifts the heavy stuff elsewhere
sigh

From what I've seen online this has the potential to be a major storm event we have not seen for decades. Had something historic in 1916 which destroyed every bridge on the Wateree/Catawba River between Charlotte and Camden. This looks like it is setting up to be of that nature.
All we can do is watch and wait for further details. This is not worth anyone's loss of life.
Go Tigers!

No Prediction of SC Landfall for Hurricane Joaquin
Oct 1, 2015, 2:14 PM
|
|
The eastern most extreme in any model shows landfall in the northern portion of the N.C. coast mid-day Sunday. The models don't agree, but their disagreement is whether it will go straight north and miss the US altogether or whether it will take a slight northeast path. The reason for all the concern is that NYC on Tuesday morning is a potential landfall. The good news is that if it takes that path, the east coast would dissipate much of the storm's strength.

It's not the direct we're concerned about, it's the rain
Oct 1, 2015, 3:26 PM

totals which are coming from not just the bands but the pull of another system and tropical moisture-- most are saying that we're getting flooded regardless of where the hurricane goes now. The question is, is most of SC getting 10-20 inches of rain, just some of it or does that amount hit somewhere in NC or VA and we get 5 or 6. If the whole state is getting it and getting it a one time, I don't really think most people on this board and in general understand what that means. We're talking roads, bridges, homes, trees falling from ground saturation, mass flooding, possible earthen ### failures, etc, etc. - it really can be quite catastrophic and most people don't have flood insurance, even if we minimize loss of life, injuries
just need hope this forecast changes and not so much for the games sake

Said some similar in another post. They won't let 80000 people drive to and from the stadium in a monsoon. Streams and creeks will over flow their beds and take out roads. Trees will fall etc etc. Blinding rain!
