Keeping an eye on Hurricane Matthew

NOAA has nailed down a track window for Matthew keeping it off the Florida Coast for Thursday and Friday. But it will be close enough to bring damaging winds, heavy rains and tidal surges to all of the Eastern FL Peninsula.  However, as it moves northward, the predicted track gets less certain. This is because of the complicated weather features in the Western Atlantic and Central US that will affect it's track north of the Georgia and South Carolina coastal areas. The game isn't going to get moved up with the current uncertainty. I could see it happening later in the week as the NOAA Track predictions firm up. A landfall in or around North Carolina early Friday morning will be worst case. Staying well off shore as Matthew moves North and East is best case. My bet is that it won't get moved; that the game will be played under wet condtions much like those of last week in AA. IOW, not that bad. Maybe a bit more wind.

The game is scheduled to be on ESPN2. Network is probably not going to want the game moved unless absolutely necessary.

I would like to see this game played at night, other commitments have prevented me from watching the game live for the last 3 weeks.

Fortunately I was able to DVR and avoid hearing scores all 3 weeks.  I do not like watching knowing that the game is already over because when things go poorly I am tempted to fast forward.

If they really wanted to make a change in order to reduce risks to participants... they'd move Rutgers to the FCS.

The Situation could get messy in New Jersey this weekend, especially if he gets into the dark liquors.

Last year, the B1G announced the move of the Maryland game on Thursday afternoon.  I expect they'll follow a similar track with monitoring this game.

EDIT:  I am a tiny bit slower than pudge44, which makes me pudge43.

that Rutgers' secondary will be floating around on dinghies

This is strictly selfish reasons here, but I'm going to sit on my own little island and hope that the game stays at the same date and time. I am getting married on Saturday (UofM - themed), and the start time is perfect to turn on at the reception hall to enjoy with my guests.

How come Rutgers can schedule their bitterest rivalry game at night but we can't?

Keeping an "eye" on the Hurricane eh?  Very punny.

Rutgers should forfeit. The Michigan should have instead a Blue vs Mazie scrimmage at home that would be worth watching.

I can't be the only one with plane or train tickets into NY that morning from elsewhere in the northeast. Moving the game after we have all relied on it beign at 7 would suuuuck for a lot of fans. 

I say keep the same kick-off time but move the game to safe neutral site, like Boulder, Colorado. The Buffs are out of town, so there should be plenty of hotel space for the M faithful. I would be willing to put up a dozen at my house. On Friday night we can all go watch Dylan McCaffrey play, then watch Michigan beat the Knights on Saturday night at Folsum Field.

Expecting great football weather this weekend.

Sometimes the solution is simple. I'm being totally objective and rational.

moved because the timing of the storm would have made it difficult for Michigan to safely fly out of Baltimore because of high winds.  Not because weather would affect the game.

No one knows where Hurricane Matthew will be as of Saturday night. It may go out to sea after hitting the Carolina coast, it may stall over the Carolinas, or pick up speed... there are no guarentees other than the fact that when the ball is kicked off in Piscataway, Hurricaine Jim will wreak havoc on our biggest rivals!
