Why can they play in Spartanburg and not in Greenville? Is the power out at FU? Lots of damage? TV showed a fair amount of trees down on the Wofford campus.

Can the game be played tomorrow afternoon or Monday afternoon/night?
My guess would include lots of storm damage on Furman’s campus making it unsafe & unsuitable for fans to attend. Plus the travel conditions along the route from Samford to Furman as well as from all the places Furman fans travel from may be unsuitable - debris & tress down, businesses closed, no power. Overall, just unwise to play, taking everything into consideration. I still suspect the game may be made up, possible even November 29 if both teams fail to make playoffs - and we may not know that before Nov 24.

It was Family Weekend at Furman. No hotels open. Most restaurants closed. The campus had no power when the decision was made. Plus, yes, it was worse in Greenville than in Spartanburg. Greenville caught the right side of the eye wall of the storm. My neighbor (tree hit house) says Allstate coded our damage as Code Orange, with Code Red being the worst. It is going to take more than a week to get power fully restored. It was the right decision to cancel the game.

Both teams in the middle of pretty bad seasons so far, probably both were fine with not playing.......

I would assume this is probably close to completely wrong.
I am not saying players don't want to play (I know they do), I am saying administration ;)

And yes 100% both teams are having bad years to date unfortunately...
