Could the Game be Postponed?

[newell138]

My heart goes out to OP. Imagine living your life in fear like that. We had some rain the day before a football game let’s cancel it

we have a clear leader in worst post of the year

 

[RUScrew85]

I would say so. It's expected to crest early this afternoon and then begin receding. You'll have roughly 42 hours before the lots open for a 12pm kickoff. You'll still have trapped standing water but it'll be receded by then.

I would expect no Johnson Park--ing for this weekend at least maybe for a couple of weeks.

 

[RUTGERS95]

I look forward to your realignment posts.

However, this idea that cancelling a game at Rutgers when Route 18 is closed is somehow a “deep state” effort, makes me giggle.

that is not what he is saying. what he is saying is the overall view of any calamity rising to the level of national tragedy requiring stopping/slowing progress etc. I'ts not this event per se. imho

 

[RUScrew85]

Takes a man to eat his crow - kudos. I'll take a wing because I thought they'd squeeze it in before I saw pictures.

Postpone the game a day or two. Let the first responders get a decent nights sleep.

Yea that'll take a while to dry out, it becomes a marsh after flooding. No way you're driving cars on that for a few weeks.

Game will be played. Too many factors at work and Temple is right down the road, so travel isn’t an issue on either end. Rain moves out by midnight and preparations continue. I’ve already got two folding chairs in my trunk and there’s no turning back now.

Didn't age well

 

[rureadyforsomefootball]

Oh dear lord just stop already please.

So then there was the cancel

 

[Jtung230]

Just canceled my catering order. Good thing it was called early.

Got it. I stand in complete agreement with the idea that we are getting softer as a nation. That’s not even debatable at this point. I just wouldn’t have used this incident to support that. You need a watercraft to get the the stadium.
Again though, if that was his premise, I get it from the big picture standpoint.

This would be a great opportunity for the crew teams to generate NIL revenue by rowing the fans to the game.

Manville NJ:

About 2-3 feet there based on the water level on the tank cars.

They're gonna need bigger boats.

So then there was the cancel

Yup. Might want to see my post from earlier today I have no issue admitting when I jumped the gun!

It’s not so much you and others were wrong.

its how you and others responded to the OP..as if he were an absolute idiot to question the status of the game.

AT THE TIME it seemed very far-fetched, yes, hence my responses (I'll stick to my guns on that one). HOWEVER, once we heard the Piscataway Police requested "no fans," I knew there was little chance Greg would play that game as such hence my immediate change in tone and apology to @TrueRU.

Good man.

it wasn’t far fetched at the time. Seeing videos online and hearing flood forecasts..it was a very big possibility.

You were very balanced and level headed ITT

Thanks. But being balanced and level headed shouldn’t earn congrats…

we should all just be balanced and level headed….it’s really not that hard

Someone over mileage in their lease or upside down on their loan?

They're probably underwater on their LTV.

Hear ya but people get very emotional over RU Football, it’s an escape too in today’s climate.

I don’t think some realized how much rain was falling in parts of the state too.

 

[LBusDoor90_rivals]

Can this get closed out since it has been?

People let their emotions overshadow reality way too much..especially on social media where they are anonymous.

which is why social media sucks

That's our opinion; all good. I apologized and completely agree with why we're moving the game. We can move on now, thanks!

Post of the day - you win the thread. Just edged out the Crow meal.

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

Isn't there a song that speaks of the time of the flood on the old Raritan?

@OTBOTOR already set an unreachable bar on that one.

Yes. We now have a clear leader in worst post of the year.

(But your eating crow post could make a case for best post of the year…kudus)

 

[newell138]

could be worse, I found out my buddy who is flying in from Miami has a return flight for 12:30PM on Saturday. Hopefully he can change it or he wont even be able to watch on TV.. Talk about the RU curse

 

[Extra Point_rivals157299]

If the stadium was about to be hit by an asteroid on game day, Rutgers fans would still go to the game.

i would suggest just giving yourself a timeout and sitting the rest of this one out

 

[OTBOTOR]

Yeah, just south of New Street: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.494...4!1sRb2PQzG1GaGaGhAVlWfRMw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

There were no bars mentioned in the song And maybe the bar got flooded too.
