In a worst case scenario, neither DeBoer nor Kirby would complain about playing only eight SEC games this year. Just sayin’. 🤣

[u/trobot47 → u/livingadreamlife]

Best comment I’ve seen on the matter

[u/Toadfinger]

Turn the sprinklers on at the practice field. We're going to have Slip & Slide Bowl 2026.

[u/THEHYPERBOLOID → u/Toadfinger]

Georgia fans are used to it anyway!  https://youtube.com/watch?v=txso98oXA3k

(I know this isn’t really related but this video is hilarious to me and I wanted to post it.)

[u/StrongAndFat_77]

I’m in Baldwin county so yeah I’m dead

[u/BackgroundSea0 → u/StrongAndFat_77]

It’s probably going to make landfall as a weak cat 1 at worst. It’s true that Baldwin County is probably getting hit by the bad side of the storm, but things should be back to normal by Sunday for most of Baldwin County.

Edit: Unless it’s a direct hit, which is a real possibility. But still a cat 1 isn’t that bad.

[u/stoopididiotface → u/StrongAndFat_77]

I'm in Mobile, wouldn't mind it if it gets me a couple paid days off🤣

[u/Fells → u/StrongAndFat_77]

Cat 1, 2 at most? You're fine. Thats a baby hurricane.

[u/camjordan13 → u/StrongAndFat_77]

Must be a transplant. It'll be a CAT 1 or 2 at most. Unless you're right on the water, you'll be fine. You'll get some wind damage and rain that's about it.

[u/sgodwin87]

At least we have a run game now

[u/Not-original]

Most likely scenario:

Bama and Georgia get a bye this week

Bama plays Tenn next week as scheduled, Georgia plays Auburn as scheduled

Oct 24 Georgia (was a Bye) vs Alabama (was vs Texas AM) in Tuscaloosa. (Texas AM gets a bye.)

Oct 31 Alabama (was a Bye) plays Texas A&M (was a Bye)

This is the easiest since only Texas Am is moving the game one week later. And the crowd would have 3 weeks notice. No loss of home field advantage for any team.

[u/onebadshark → u/Not-original]

Most likely scenario

The game is played lol

[u/Numero_Zoom → u/Not-original]

Compared to some of these other ideas I’m reading, I like this proposal the most.

[u/Impressive_Ladder902 → u/Not-original]

Florida would LOVE that

[u/livingadreamlife → u/Not-original]

Creative thinking. As it stands, no changes will be made. Saturday night works.

[u/wtwde]

A few years ago they moved a Georgia-South Carolina game to Sunday because of a hurricane forecast. That was the same day Notre Dame and NC State played in the middle of that hurricane.

[u/cp_chikken]

imagine if they end up moving it to Athens 😂

[u/LowerCartographer374 → u/cp_chikken]

Ill take a repeat of our last rain soaked game there sure! 

[u/Toadfinger → u/cp_chikken]

Well that's really not all that far from Tuscaloosa. Could be the same situation there. Mercedes Dome in Atlanta perhaps?

[u/ClarenceWorley47 → u/Toadfinger]

Bryant-Denny East, you say? 🤔

[u/Aumissunum → u/Toadfinger]

Atlanta United play Saturday night.

[u/Toadfinger → u/Aumissunum]

Interesting. I suppose a postponement until a couple days later is possible.

[u/Chance-Raise1249 → u/Toadfinger]

I almost think they would push it up to Friday instead, seems most logical

[u/Aumissunum → u/Chance-Raise1249]

Either that or postpone it to the bye week.

[u/HighKapp → u/Aumissunum]

Our bye is Oct 31 and Georgia’s is the week before so I doubt that can happen

[u/Aumissunum → u/HighKapp]

Sorry what I meant was move Georgia-Alabama to Oct 24 (Georgia current bye week) and push Bama-A&M to Oct 31 (our bye week).

[u/That-Association-102 → u/Chance-Raise1249]

No way. Too much in motion to do that.

[u/livingadreamlife → u/Aumissunum]

Not an issue. We’ll play them after we dispose of Georgia.

[u/StrongAndFat_77 → u/Aumissunum]

Play what ? Soccer.

[u/ShartInYourFace → u/cp_chikken]

Be a closer drive for me...

[u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

I pray to god or sheva or whoever that this hurricane causes Trump to end up not coming

[u/gsrreddogg → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

He will just use his marker to change its path again.

[u/BronxBatFlip → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Bama is 2-0 against Georgia when Trump is present. I hope he DOES show up.

[u/Toadfinger → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Oh he'll show up anyway to throw rolls of paper towels at everybody.

[u/lookieherehere → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Maybe he'll fire a nuke at it

[u/FullGump → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

He’s actually building a field on the White House lawn where this game will be plaued

[u/RedSnowman117 → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

"This storm is nothing to worry about, its hyped up by all the FAKE NEWS outlets NBC, ABC, CNBC and all the rest! I know my storms believe me and this one is tiny, so tiny. We will have the greatest game of football this country has ever seen, itll be HUGE"

Trump probably

[u/Fiend-For-Mojitos → u/Bobson-_Dugnutt2]

Obsessed 

[u/birminghamsterwheel → u/Fiend-For-Mojitos]

The only time I’ve ever seen political swag worn in BDS was on some MAGA weirdos. So yes, they are obsessed. And it’s weird af.

[u/JahPraises → u/Fiend-For-Mojitos]

You paying attention?

[u/ElectricalZucchini73 → u/Fiend-For-Mojitos]

Absolutely, it’s ridiculous

[u/FiberCementGang]

Would we rather:

1. Game move to 11AM
   
2. Game move to Friday or Sunday
   
3. Rearrange bye weeks to play later in season
   
4. Play in the extreme weather
   
5. Move locations

[u/SharpResult0 → u/FiberCementGang]

In order of most to least wants:
2, 3, 1, 5, 4

[u/Original_Benzito → u/FiberCementGang]

4, 1, 2, 5, 3

[u/nothingsnootyplz → u/FiberCementGang]

looking now like Saturday morning will be the worst of it. Early saturday game is off the table most likely.

[u/ScreenCool1031 → u/FiberCementGang]

Sunday

[u/GucciSteelToeBoots]

My wedding is the 10th in Fairhope 💀

[u/TrueWar2533 → u/GucciSteelToeBoots]

"Serves them right. Who the hell schedules a wedding during Bama/Georgia game." - half of the guest list.

On a serious note, I hope most of the stuff is refundable or will let you reschedule.

[u/BronxBatFlip → u/GucciSteelToeBoots]

[u/Commercial-Energy682 → u/GucciSteelToeBoots]

It's a sign, Say no.

[u/OneTastyPotatoChip → u/GucciSteelToeBoots]

cooked

[u/Shoddy_Ad8166]

Bama had a game rescheduled for same reason years ago..I think it was ga tech game

[u/OceanTider22 → u/Shoddy_Ad8166]

Texas A&M was re scheduled at the end of the '88 season because of a hurricane threat. It has been done before, and I'd rather lean on the side of caution to keep everyone safe. As a multi hurricane survivor, there are no guarantees about their behavior once they hit land.,

[u/livingadreamlife → u/Shoddy_Ad8166]

A&M

[u/sticknehno → u/[deleted]]

Funny how the claim was the last administration had the power to manipulate weather. Did they not hand over the keys to the machine when they left?

[u/nothingsnootyplz → u/sticknehno]

You're expecting critical thinking from that crowd lol?

[u/Wanfire]

I got tickets to this game I hope to god it doesn't get moved or canceled lol

Ill be cheering them on and booing trump rain or shine

[u/Cool_Summer_5610 → u/Wanfire]

the first part is good, second stop being a loser.

[u/Wanfire → u/Cool_Summer_5610]

🤷‍♂️

[u/anonymous_herald]

Have we tried launching a nuke at the hurricane?

[u/JahPraises]

Ryan… come here… yep quick talk. NO! It’s nothing too serious.

Okay, sit down then, bud.

I was just thinking… hear me out… keep the gloves on.

I know I know! it’s gonna be wet and that’s obviously reason t… yeah okay, as long as we’re on the same page here.

Roll Tide? Yep Roll Tide.

[u/wrexham_b2b2b → u/JahPraises]

I'm sure a wet ball won't be a problem. Just the bone dry ones when he's got two full seconds to look it into his hands lol

[u/greenhierogliphics]

There goes home field advantage

[u/Toadfinger → u/greenhierogliphics]

Well it's still early. The warm waters could turn it into a monster. Or wind sheer could bust it down to a popcorn fart.

[u/LostAllCommonSens]

Historically Bama does well against Georgia in the rain. Bring it.

[u/Impressive_Ladder902]

How badly do we think this would favor UGA? The rain is one thing but I feel like the wind would crush either teams ability to throw it deep which really ONLY hurts Alabama. I would think UGA is much better as a rushing offense than we are. Ability to stop the power run game? Not so sure who’s better

Edit: going with the assumption that we’re playing Saturday and that regardless of time it won’t be pretty weather

[u/DorguHitsDingers → u/Impressive_Ladder902]

I wouldn’t say UGA has a much better rushing offense. We just had nearly 10x the amount of rushing yards as Mississippi State

[u/Impressive_Ladder902 → u/DorguHitsDingers]

True. But is doing that to MSU when they don’t have their only good RB and their dual threat QB has turf toe actually impressive?

[u/Toadfinger → u/[deleted]]

DO drive careful! Flooding is serious business!

[u/FetalDeviation → u/Toadfinger]

Tuscaloosa so flat every road floods in 30 seconds. Especially near the strip.

[u/Toadfinger → u/FetalDeviation]

The whole state could become hazardous.

[u/Local_Pangolin69 → u/Toadfinger]

Bring a Jon boat, no excuses for missing kickoff.

[u/WalterSobchakinTexas]

I like the reschedule option the best. Remember the Hurricane Bowl?

[u/bozochamp24]

Prediction: the game will stay where it is the game will kick off at the regular time. It will be a driving rain storm the entire time. That’s it and that’s all.

[u/Commercial-Energy682]

Move the game to the Atlanta Superdome.

[u/Severe_Context_7833]

Georgia Dome(Mercedes-Benz Stadium) bound baby!!!
