That's funny. In five years at Florida, my parents were only on campus once, when I graduated. Dad dropped me off at the dorm (old Hume Hall) in September of my freshman year. Literally. From then until graduation I was on my own to get to and from home. Went home every Thanksgiving (missing all the Miami games), Christmas and summers to work. It wasn't that they didn't want to see me, they just expected a grown 18 year old man to take care of himself.Agreed (LSU PTSD...). The official "Parents of UF Class of 22XX" FB pages are going bananas because it's not only the game, but UF's official "Parents Weekend." I'm sure the athletic office is getting BOMBED with calls. For a mental image of "bananas," picture any episode of what "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" would be like, but they have a kid at UF that is a freshman and they have flights and hotels booked.

The Jersey Mom's with UF kids are cra cra... it's just like the show!Exactly. Teresa did a 2 year bid in prison and watched her husband get deported. She’s sorry to hear about the little rainstorm, but expects kickoff to go as scheduled.
They pussified the game. In all kinds of ways.You play football in the rain, wind, and lightning. It ain't like that sissy baseball game.
Trump !Let's blame Napier, seems like everything else is his fault.
Except for when the first responders may be pulled elsewhere to deal with the aftermath of the storm. I understand the desire to play on, but there seem to be a few other factors at play here that aren't football related. If the storm veers West, then we're in agreement. Otherwise I would caution against wanting to tax important resources such as police and medical personnel that may be required to be in the Panhandle.You play football in the rain, wind, and lightning.

My area had no power for 8 days after Irma which dropped 12 inches of rain that caused some unbelievable inland flooding. I'm really hoping to not repeat all that, although I am 10x more prepared now.
Even 60 hours out, this thing could be absolutely nothing or truly devastating depending on the path. Cedar Key is kinda setup to be another Mexico Beach situation.
Either way, I don’t see any scenario where that pergola makes it.
