Dwight D. Eisenhower’s reelection campaign in 1956 featured a very simple slogan: “We Like Ike”. But it’s unlikely that any college football fan this weekend will be wearing a political button like that anytime soon.

With Hurricane Ike bearing down on the Gulf Coast, most of Southeast Texas is under a hurricane warning ahead of the storm. Already authorities have ordered residents to leave Galveston, Texas and are thinking about evacuating more areas as well. The possibility also looms that Houston may even be evacuated.

With the specter of hurricane destruction looming over the area, even in the football-mad state of Texas the pigskin takes a back seat to practical matters. That means for the third straight week FCS football games will be delayed, moved or canceled.

Weather-related issues are a part of football at all levels from high school to the NFL. But this year more than most athletic directors have had to get creative to keep a semblance of normality to their football schedules – and not just down south.

Not one word about his embarrassing idiotic 44-20 prediction of Poly over Montana. At least say it was an upset. xconfusedx xsmhx xsmhx xrolleyesx

You mean, the same prediction that pretty much every FCS "expert" came up with last week? This doesn't come close to the picking a team that lost 40-7 to win against a ranked opponent... xconfusedx
