IIRC, they decided at the end not to postpone the game b/c the fires died down and the stadium was not needed for sheltering refugees

BYU-NorthIdaho

9/7/11 10:45am

Just like SDSU a few years ago

CrackerJack

9/7/11 10:45am

Would this work to our advantage?

Cougnine33-31

That sucks

ALRMCoug

9/7/11 10:46am

binghammer

9/7/11 10:46am

Move it to Jerryworld or Provo then.

darkcoug

9/7/11 10:46am

That would be ideal.

spugeddy24

9/7/11 10:47am

Provo!

ALRMCoug

9/7/11 10:47am

moving it to provo would be AWESOME!!!

COACHdrn

STLcoug

9/7/11 10:50am

Nope, their schedule is open

spugeddy24

9/7/11 10:51am

ALRMCoug

9/7/11 10:52am

spugeddy24

9/7/11 10:54am

not nearly big enough

njcoug

workindev

9/7/11 10:51am

It was confirmed that youth games in Austin are cancelled,

Sego

9/7/11 10:54am

What youth games? Again, this isn't being reported locally

workindev

9/7/11 11:02am

Cougar8Duck

9/7/11 10:51pm

With a cramp Vontaze would still squish you (all) like a bug

CariocaCoug

Should we all watch "Windows of Heaven"?

Coug Eastwood
