I was at that game, Georgia Southern beat them badly in a torrential downpour that was blowing in sideways. MTSU was a big rival of Ga. Southern back in those days. Was a white knuckle ride back to Hinesville after the game. Used to love Ga. Southern back when Erik coached there.
You got family in Guntersville?!
In late Oct. 1991 I took a rafting trip on The Gauley River in West Virginia.
On the return I detoured to The Outer Banks of NC and set up camp at Hatteras Point, just a short distance from the lighthouse.
That night the weather turned vicious. There was torrential rain, high wind and huge surf that swamped the camp ground.
There was just me and a handful of other campers, we decided to break into the lighthouse if it got any hairier.
It was so bad my 4 season tent was demolished but everybody lived. It rained all the next day like piss pouring from a boot while I drove north to cross the only bridge south of Virginia since the ferry wasn't running.
I hadn't kept up with the weather so I didn't learn till I got home that I'd stumbled into the remnants of Hurricane Grace, which became part of The Perfect Storm of movie fame a couple of days later.
Amen all day long! This makes it SOOOO CRYSTAL CLEAR, that even a VOL can understand it, (as long as someone else is there to help of course!)

My Ohio Bobcats game with my wife's UVA Cavaliers has been moved to Nashville and UVA is the designated home team, I guess she gets to "Blow the Admiral" every time UVA Scores.
@BobcatGrad I haven't made the connection between your "blowin the admiral" post and the OP--but I love reminding everyone of that particular "tradition" at Vandy
Bingo.
No, it was a vacation on the lake.
Florence will likely impact Georgia it seems now. The beast took a left turn overnight and it seems likely to at least soak much of Georgia.
Any chance our game gets cancelled?
They have removed advisory warning in Virginia and now it looks like Georgia will get heavy rain.
My wife was supposed to speak Friday at a law conference at JMU, so we decided to attend the UVA - Ohio game where we both went to school. Normally we would have been at the UGA game for parents council weekend. It made no sense to fly in Friday evening and drive to Athens for Middle Tennesse State so we bought tickets for Tennessee instead.
They moved the OU -UVA game to Nashville where the storm will probably move late in the weekend while possibly Charlottesville sees next to nothing.
With the rescheduled conference my wife now flies to Atlanta for a charity golf event, then go straight to London to meet with a client, then immediately go to JMU for the rescheduled seminar and then straight to South Carolina for her Godson’s wedding who grew up in Charlottesville as his Mom is a professor at UVA.
She and my wife had season tickets for 30 years at UVA on the 48 yardline. We used to donate $500 a year and purchase the season tickets. They then required a $5,000.00 donation per seat for the right to purchase those seats. On top of that the UVA professor was told she would have to purchase a parking spot and not be able to use her faculty spot, even if she paid extra.
And UVA wonders why their stadium is at 40 percent capacity.
It will be interesting to see if Carla Williams and UVA at least provides a $1,000.00 credit towards next years donation.
I love Football as much as anybody and so does my wife, but they are literally forcing people towards going to a couple of games a year and watch the rest on TV, in particular with schools like Georgia having such a pathetic home schedule.
Sorry for the rant.
Maybe, if there's flooding.
The joke on the UVA board is Clemson moving their game to Charlottesville.
I started delivering emergency medical supplies to Charleston Saturday morning, made 4 trips back in forth that weekend. By my second or third trip they had the national guard out guarding MUSC and I ended up with a letter from the governor to show to get by the roadblocks and the police officers who thought I was driving a bit fast. Long weekend.
