Rumor: KU vs south florida game friday

[TJR1486]

This guy i knows dad said that the ku game is getting moved to friday in lawrence bc of the storm. Anyone else heard this?

[TrickyNicky]

I thought it was already scheduled for Friday? Or do you mean just the location?

[sedated]

its already on friday.

and why would they move it half way across the country? aren't there closer stadiums to Florida than in Kansas?

location, it was supposed to be in south florida

[BigVE]

Hmmm, doesn't sound logical.

[Frazod]

Ike will be well past Florida by Friday, and has missed it for the most part anyway.

Sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ike headed towards Southern Floriday last night. I guess it's pretty serious

[sedated]

your friend's dad sounds like a f*cking moron.

ROFL No way .....

[mikeyis4dcats.]

South Florida's AD was quoted as saying there was absolutley ZERO chance the game would move to Lawrence.

[chiefqueen]

It was on Friday when I told my neighbors I would go see Les Mis with them at Starlight on Sat. night. It better not get moved.

And yes, I will still my occupying my "throne" @ Arrowhead on Sunday.

Yeah right.

Well, the rumor is true. One of the kids on the 2nd/3rd grade team I coach is the son of a KU coach, and I mentioned this possibility and apparently they are discussing it. Don't know anything more than that, but apparently it is something they are considering due to the weather. Decision is supposed to be made today.

OK, looks like if that's the path, it's game on in Tampa.

I know this is a few days late, but here is what KU officials said Sunday night.

No weather worries: Severe weather stemming from Hurricane Ike is not expected to affect Kansas’ matchup with South Florida, school officials said Sunday.
“The people at South Florida called us last week, and they don’t expect any problems,” Kansas associate athletics director Jim Marchiony said. “At that point, they thought that it might come through on Tuesday, but they don’t expect any problems (with the game).”
Last week, rumors on various Web sites suggested that if the severe weather prevented the teams from playing in Tampa, it was possible the game could be moved to Memorial Stadium.
But Marchiony, who said he’ll keep in touch with South Florida officials throughout the week, was quick to shoot down those rumors Sunday night.
“There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet, apparently, of the game being moved to Lawrence,” Marchiony said. “That will not happen. Any of that, that will not happen.”

This was speculated back like 3 weeks ago. And it was moved to Friday because ESPN wanted to televise it nationally.

Yep.

...“To tell you the truth, we have to take opportunities as they come,” Mangino said Tuesday. “There had been talk about Thursday night, (and) there had been talk about Friday night. There was no talk about the game being televised on Saturday, so our options were Thursday or Friday.”

No biggy. Just do long as the game goes on. A buddy of mine is a USF fan, and the smack is running pretty hard between him & I. Six pack is on the line.

All I know is what a I was told me yesterday. Looks like he may have been out of the loop himself. I'm not going to commit sepuku over it, in spite of some people's desire to see me do so.

#14 and #17 not televised on Sat? that's f*cking retarted.

That would make sense as long as it was during the day, USC Ohio State is Saturday night!

[penguinz]

KU has a good chance to lose this game.

there's more than 1 channel that shows college football.

but at least it didn't get picked up Sat on ABC, then get seen only in Lawrence and SFLA. I hate the ABC regional crap.

We can only hope.

SFU looked like crap last week though.

Yeah they're pretty confident down here in swFL and I'd say for good reason. raymond James will be rockin with bulls fans. But what do I know, other than my Tigers are #6 and movin on up.

To the point of this thread, Jayhawks are headed into a Hurricane friday, but it aint Ike.

If I needed it, you'd have a choice between a katana, yaogi, scimitar, ninjato, Viking longsword, Scottish Claymore or Black & Decker Hedge Trimmer. My collection is rather eclectic.

I think you'd be able to sell the most tickets with a dull steak knife, however.
