First of many, I'm afraid.

This needs to be a forfeit and Dayton awarded a win and RMU a loss. The fact they waited until Friday to announce this is frustrating and a little suspect.

I'm curious how many game week practices RMU was able to have the last 48 hours with Ida rolling through that area. So now if the team doesn't feel "prepared" they can just cancel the game and hide behind "health and safety". There should be a Win-Loss consequence to this otherwise it's going to keep happening for all the wrong reasons.

I am very bummed for the players who have worked so hard after missing an entire year of playing. As a fan and season ticket holder since 1981, last year was difficult. I can't imagine what these kids are feeling.

We will see what happens next week. Let's pray for a game finally.

Would have been nice to get a game in before stepping up against EIU and SIU. Eastern got crushed by South Carolina, but that was an uphill battle for them from the get-go. Southern Illinois beat SEMU without much trouble. Boys have their work cut out for them for the next couple of weeks
