Saturday Football

[gatorman-uf]

Thursday Night and Saturday Morning football aren't new to Florida.... Schools do it because they share stadiums, lack of referees, and yes safety reasons. Raines-Ribault game was moved to Saturday, Pahokee-Glades Central game as well.

Some of these safety possibilities already exist in Duval County (my first time being wanded confused me as to what I was entering into) and Miami-Dade games. It is just sad that some knuckleheads have the ability to ruin the experience for everyone else.

Apparently a Rockledge man was shot and killed near the stadium during the Cocoa game.

...remember the shooting at Traz Powell a few years ago.

 Sad that it happened in that area with the football game only a quarter mile away.

The crazy thing is the Pahokee-Glades Central (Muck Bowl) game is always used as an example, but yet nothing has EVER happened at or during this game.
