In Central Florida the highs tomorrow are about 70 and rain is in the forecast. Game time should be in the low to mid 60s. Not ideal weather for football, but it could be much worse if you look at a weather map of the nation. 

I hope this doesn’t effect the attendance for playoff games across the state it’s about to be 2020 w errbody should have ponchos umbrellas & hoodies

It's FL...the weather could be sunny and 75 and people still would not show up to the capacity that we all would like to see.

Just curious, but how many people will attend a game that is not for "their" team when we get deeper in the playoffs. If Columbia or Dillard gets knocked out this week, are you done with high school football for the rest of year or do you continue to go to local games?

For me when Dillard football team end I go right into our basketball schedule/games 

I still follow how other local teams are doing that advanced tho

I probably would if it was close by but I'm not driving to Jacksonville solo to watch someone else play 

 

If someone was going with me that's one thing but not going solo

If and when Apopka loses, I attend any game in the "Orlando Area" within a 40 mile radius. I have also gone to most of the state finals since 2006.

This the type of weather that causes Vero to lose around these rounds in the playoffs wet or cold/cool weather

Yea I don’t care for this weather either especially when our RBs start struggling holding on to the ball

I live in Manatee Counry and will be taking in the Palmetto - Port Charlotte game. Don't have any reason to support either team, except that I live next to Palmetto. Went to Lakeland but won't be driving the hour + for the TBT game tommorow night. (Awaiting next week at Armwood if all works out.)

I will go see other schools play depending on the weather even if my team is still in it.

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
