Thunder Chicken Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Associated Press Posted: 1 hour ago (2PM EST) MIAMI - Florida's season opener Saturday against Middle Tennessee State was postponed because of Hurricane Frances, but the fate of Monday's Florida State-Miami game remained uncertain. Florida's game, which was to be played in Gainesville, will be rescheduled Oct. 16, athletic director Jeremy Foley said Thursday. Miami officials said Thursday that they still have not decided whether to postpone their nationally televised game against the Seminoles. In the NFL, the Miami Dolphins said Thursday they were considering whether to travel to New Orleans for Friday's preseason finale with the Saints. Players are concerned about leaving their families behind to deal alone with the storm. In baseball, the Florida Marlins said no decision has been made on their three-game weekend series with the Chicago Cubs, which is scheduled to begin Friday. Frances, which is packing winds of 145 mph, is expected to hit the state late Friday or early Saturday. Several other sporting events had already been postponed or canceled, including Thursday night's Jacksonville-Florida International football game and Saturday's Gateway Classic between Bethune-Cookman and Savannah State at Alltel Stadium in Jacksonville. Hampton and Jackson State moved their season opener Saturday from Orlando's Citrus Bowl to Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kansas State 2000 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 They are talking about re-scheduling the Miami/Florida State game to Saturday the 11th of September. At least they will not delay the game a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote Quimby2 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Middle Tenn St? I'm sure that one will be close. I can't believe this is going to be pay per view. Who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
