I think if it's cancled it will be more for "fan safety" than player concerns IMO. If you have a tropical storm threatening 45-55mph gusts and driving rain, they will postpone or move the game.

If they cancel for lightning 20 mi away or whatever the new rule is, they will cancel for a threat of a hurricane for sure
 
Moving to ATL is a good idea in theory. Problem is Sun night is the big primetime NFL game, and NBC does a lot of prep for it onsite. Takes about 3 or 4 days typically to setup cameras/equipment plus testing. If you move Bama/UGA to Sat night, they’d have to allow ABC to move in/out their production setup the day before, which would narrow NBC’s setup time to about 18 hours. I don’t think they would allow that.

My guess is IF they postpone the game, they move it to Mon night. Either keep it in Tuscaloosa (weather permitting of course), or ATL. That last one would still be a challenge production wise, but I think ABC could make it work in a pinch. That is only a guess, and just going by what's been done before.

I suspect if it's postponed that they just move it to Sunday and move the start time to the middle of the afternoon.

Apparently Saturday 11 AM is actually in discussion as well.
 
I'm thinking if it's moving fast and lopsided to the northeast like usual by then yeah it might be over by primetime???

All the really bad stuff is gonna be ahead of it like in the morning and afternoon

The south and west side will probably be just breezy

But is it going to be moving fast? That's the real question

Certainly doesn't seem like 11am or earlier in the day is better

But do they wanna risk all the pregame stuff and hoping it clears out. That's the issue with sticking to primetime

This is first time Ohtani is batting 5th for LA since 2020! But he hasn’t been the great Ohtani of old since August.
 
What’s with Acuna challenging with nobody on base in the 1st inning? I was wondering before the result of him losing it was revealed.
Now only one challenge left the rest of the 9 innings.
