March 15, 200818 yr So the SEC would rather force a team to play 2 games in a very short time span? I would have let them play it out tonight, and made tomorrow's game a late nighter. The SEC has a lot more to worry about than if a team has to play 2 games in 1 day
March 15, 200818 yr I saw on another website that some actual bolts fell from the roof. There were obviously some major issues.
March 15, 200818 yr I wonder if there was more structural damage than their leading on. Maybe their thinking is another good storm and this could get ugly, otherwise why would you postpone the game but keep the fans inside???:confused: I think there is more to all of this, have a feeling the building is not safe. Im thinking the same thing. They are saying on CNN that the fans were now told they could leave. Possibly questions about the structural integrity of the roof/building? They did say at least one bolt did fall from the roof. I think there is more that they are not mentioning.
March 15, 200818 yr Author This is just complete chaos. Luckily, our coach has prepared the team all season for crazy situations. I'm telling you - UK will be ready to play tomorrow. I also believe that...I think UK will be pumped for tomorrow. They will be ready for whatever comes their way...Crawford and Bradley are going to play their hearts out tomorrow.
March 15, 200818 yr I saw on another website that some actual bolts fell from the roof. There were obviously some major issues. I would almost bet they try to move the games to the arena that the Hawks play in tomorrow...
March 15, 200818 yr I would almost bet they try to move the games to the arena that the Hawks play in tomorrow... I wonder if there was any damage to it. They only thing they have to do is have 2 teams for CBS on Sunday at 1:00
March 15, 200818 yr The SEC has a lot more to worry about than if a team has to play 2 games in 1 day A lot more to worry about? Like what? Only other thing I think they are thinking about is the condition of the stadium. Other than that, the time of UK/GA game should be their #1 priority.
March 15, 200818 yr I would be willing to bet they cancel the rest of the tourney and give UT the automatic bid as the regular season champs. I think there is way more damage than they are letting on to that building and the Hawks' building is damaged, too. They could play at GT, but no way all the fans fit in there. Plus I think Felton and BCG have legitimate reasons to throw big fits. It will not surprise me if they call it in the morning.
March 15, 200818 yr I think they announced just as the broadcast was ending that the fans could leave. I believe that is why everyone started booing.
March 15, 200818 yr I would almost bet they try to move the games to the arena that the Hawks play in tomorrow... There is already a concert scheduled
March 15, 200818 yr A lot more to worry about? Like what? The safety of the fans, the teams, the personnel in the building, etc.

No way does the SEC or anyone have the right to just give it to UT. The games will be played.

I saw on CNN that the Hawks were actually playing a game tonight too while this was going on! To have 2 teams, they have to have a place to play first. I'm not so sure that the GA Dome will be safe to host the rest of the tournament now!
