They won't announce anything because they do not know yet! As of 5pm they were undecided, and still had to talk with not only Texas State, but the weather officials as well!! They have a scheduled meeting first thing in the morning to figure out what they are going to do!

I'm sure it's just that they haven't received confirmation yet, but I checked my guide and it doesn't have the A&M-SWT game showing at 6.

I spoke with someone at the 12th Man today, and I was told that there was a meeting this afternoon, but nothing was decided. Supposedly there's a chance the game will be cancelled, but it will be decided tomorrow.

I heard from a reliable source that everyone but athletics is pushing for the game to be cancelled. Reason being that it would be dumb to have droves of people flooding into B/CS, taking up all of the hotel rooms, etc for a football game when droves of evacuees are flooding into B/CS also needing hotel rooms etc. Then sending all the football fans back out on the roads that will already be congested due to the evacuees.

It's not going to be THAT many people coming in from out of town. It will definitely be a fraction of the normal amount.

therein lies the problem, peter. nobody 'knows' anything different from anyone else. if a concrete decision had been made and all the associated arrangements finalized, we would ALL know by now. no need for 2340923094820398934 threads stating what we already know that we don't know.

if anyone had concrete proof of a decision we would be even discussing this. what is the point of a message board if speculation and alleged inside info is no good?

Were are these droves of evacuess coming from? Will the storm surge make it to Kingwood?

I heard that this is just a huge A&M misinformation campaign to through Texas State off. There is no hurricane.

I don't care if you believe me or not, but that's what my sources are saying. Oh and Castro was behind the Kennedy assasination.

Read the last sentence of the press release. Note that it reads "when" and not "if."

EDIT: I suck at the internet.

If it was announced to your fish pond friend at 2 then why did we waste our time at the athletic department's second meeting of the day at 4, the emergency officials meeting at 5, and then put out a statement by the AD and the only person who can make such an announcement, and who hasn't decided -- President Gates? I guarantee you that the FOX employee wasn't notified of anything other than wishes, options and possibilities. Like everybody else.

I love how he tried to give the source cred, by say he worked for the university and "MAINTAINS THE FISH POND"

I forgot, gates and byrne always run things by those guys that maintain the fish pond about decisions that effect the university and football games. Thank god for the fish pond maintainers

So, who is the definitive source -

Paul Durbin or the fish pond maintainer?

I had a friend who told me some inside information about university stuff when we were both there. She worked at the little Starbucks booth inside Blocker.

i believe the athletic dept. is a good enough source...

'I heard from a reliable source that everyone but athletics is pushing for the game to be cancelled.'

That's because everyone else has their own source of income. Football IS athletics' source of income. No game = major problems within the athletic dept financially...

If all these other people had their large portion of income being thrown out the door they wouldn't be talking like that...
