State of Emergency Tuesday 5pm
- Thread starter B1GRU91
- Start date
Why would it be postponed? The RAC isn't going to flood. Basketball games are played during inclement weather, including snow storms, all the time. If fans don't feel it's worth the risk that's fine, but the game will be played regardless.
Indiana is already here as well for whatever that's worth.

This is a serious question. I know there was a game during a snowstorm some years ago. Maybe 1000 in the house for that game.
The infamous snow game...

I'm all for postponing, selfishly. Not sure I really feel like driving down from North Jersey, and screw Indiana over who is already here. I just don't see it happening.
The game would be played 95% as there really wont be an issue at the RAC or where Indiana is staying.
Would it be so awful to
Postpone for another day?
Yeah
Same here, coming from up north and would be going by myself this time
I think I will skip it, and I hate doing that
Ah man this brings back memories…Freshman year at RU, right off a night of partying and sledding down the hill on Seminary Place, me and my buddies started pregaming early and piled into our friend’s SUV with 4-wheel drive to get over to the RAC…Gary Waters’ mode of transportation was less successful.
The FHJ game in 2006 had to have less than 1,000.
That was the next day with everyone snowed in.
I was at that game. Walked down from the Towers on Livingston with my roommate.
Great game. Completely empty arena.
Basketball was so bad during the Littlepage years we were more concerned about walking miles through the snow to get beer for the weekend. Loaded 10 cases onto an old electrical panel we found and used as a sled. Went dashing through snow back to the Quads. Good times but RU basketball was BAAAADDDD back then.
The game that weirdly set RU basketball back. Fired Gary Waters in part because of that game and definitely replaced him with fed hill because of that game.
Fred hill really was a negative to the program.
I do remember the RAC never being less empty than it was for that game. Freshman Jimmy Butler on the eagles I believe as well
how ridiculous was Uncle Bob and some of our fans for thinking winning a one off game on a snowy day somehow represented an argument that Fred Hill could coach
they were worried about SHU stealing him. 😃 Didn't Uncle Bob force FHJ on the staff?
The paid attendance for the game was 7,211 while 2,012 die-hard fans braved the more than one feet of snow to be on hand.
I was there and that 2,012 number is correct. Less than 2K were in attendance for a few Littlepage games. The women's team often outdrew the men.
Right there with you.
I’ll be in full emptying buckets of water mode if we get 50 mph winds and 3 inches of rain.
Can’t leave that chore to the wife and daughter.
If I remember correctly, a lot of people on this board believed this as well.
Some of the same people criticizing Hill now were the same praising him as a great recruiter of NJ talent that Waters ignored.
I assume you're joking but I'd take that bet if you're not. Zero chance that happens but I'll be here to admit I was wrong if there are any freebies.
I can see the team ending it's shooting slump taking a big early lead with Gavin and Noah hitting 3's when the arena suddenly experiences a power outage caused by the storm. Either the delay will bring RU back to its shooting woes or the game will get rescheduled.
The band just posted on Facebook that due to being off campus for winter break and the state of emergency, the pep band will not be in attendance tonight.
in fact there were very few who from the get go thought/knew he was the wrong choice. I know because i was one of them and the whole board was against me.
My conviction was based on info from someone I knew who was very close to the Villanova program.
