    Storm-battered Miami has its resiliency tested again - Yahoo sports

    Where are the crys for the game to be moved or cancelled? What about the all knowing ESPN talking heads deriding UM for wanting to play the game? Or people calling Miami selfish and saying that the security and safety of the poor UNC 'student' athletes should come first. Why hasn't the UNC or ACC administration flown in to survey the damage and demand that the game be moved.

    I may sound like a big whiner, but screw it, I would like to know why it is acceptable for UM to play a game in a hurricane damaged stadium in the middle of the ghetto that took a direct hit but it wasn't for LSU to play in a stadium that wasn't damaged at all. There may be empty hotel rooms in Miami, but the majority of the area (including the outhouse) dosen't have power so they will not be occupied.

    To use the same arguments against them, "How can they think of playing a football game when so many people are suffering? It's outrageous to think that people will be playing a games while there are people nearby standing in line for free food and water not knowing what they will do next. ...sob"
