MIAMI -- Fear of the damage that powerful Hurricane Matthew may cause prompted two college football postponements Thursday, and had the NFL plotting just-in-case scenarios for games scheduled in Tampa and Miami this weekend.A pair of college games set to be played Saturday -- LSU at No. 18 Florida, as well as Charlotte at Florida Atlantic -- were postponed. The Tigers-Gators game that was scheduled for Gainesville is off indefinitely, and the Charlotte-FAU game scheduled for Boca Raton is now tentatively planned to be played Sunday.Saturday nights game that has No. 23 Florida State visiting No. 10 Miami remains on as scheduled, though officials remain somewhat cautious. Also, the Georgia at South Carolina game has been pushed from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon, Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said on his radio show.A major issue with games in Florida this weekend isnt the weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday, because those days look to be generally fine around the state. Its whether police, first responders and other key personnel needed at football games that draw massive crowds will be deployed to assist in areas that will take the brunt of Matthews wrath.This is a potentially catastrophic event for the state, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said, and public resources need to be employed where theyre most needed.Matthew has now prompted four major college football postponements this weekend. Besides the Florida and FAU home games, and the Georgia-South Carolina game, it was decided earlier in the week that the Tulane at Central Florida game -- first scheduled for Friday -- will be played next month.Also in Virginia, Massachusetts game at Old Dominion has been moved up a day to Friday night.Florida State originally planned to fly to Miami on Thursday evening; the Seminoles remained home and now plan to make the trip south Friday. Miami moved into its home-game hotel ahead of schedule, in part because its campus was closed and classes were canceled.Our hope is to be able to play at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami athletic director Blake James said. Obviously, things can happen that prohibit that.The NFL hopes to play at Hard Rock Stadium as well -- the Miami Dolphins are to host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.The metro Miami area was not taking the brunt of the storm, and sunshine is even in Fridays forecast. But there are things to assess before deciding if the FSU-Miami and Titans-Dolphins games can absolutely be played, namely if its safe for fans to be on the roads and whether police departments have the resources to simultaneously handle football crowds and storm-devastated areas.As always, our overriding concern is for public safety and not doing anything that will divert important resources away from communities that may be in distress, the NFL said in a statement. Consistent with that, we are conducting contingency planning for the Tennessee at Miami game as well as the Tampa Bay at Carolina game.Tampa Bay is to play at Carolina on Monday night.Resources were also a factor in South Carolina, where Gov. Nikki Haley said state troopers needed to be free this weekend for hurricane detail -- not Gamecocks football.The 100 to 200 troopers that they usually request or need would not be available to them, Haley said. It wasnt immediately clear if the game now being on Sunday would change her stance.The Miami Heat got out of town on Wednesday for a couple days of practice in Houston, in advance of their next preseason game in Kansas City on Saturday.You always err on the side of caution, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. You cant leave late in these things. Its one of the few natural disasters that happen that you have an opportunity to plan for.The Florida Panthers practiced Thursday morning, and coach Gerard Gallant said he and his wife were riding the storm out at home after stocking up on provisions.Lots of peanut butter, jam, lots of bread, Gallant said.FAU said it will assess after the storm clears if Sunday is a viable option to play. For now, FAUs football team is staying across the state in Tampa, well out of Matthews path. FAUs volleyball team practiced at Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers on the southwest side of the state, which was a hurricane haven of sorts.FGCUs on-campus arena was designated by state officials to become a shelter. Many residents from the Atlantic side of the state evacuated west, and the vast majority of hotels on that side of the state were filled to capacity. So FGCUs mens and womens basketball teams took Thursday off, with plans to practice elsewhere Friday.Some other cancellations and postponements announced Thursday:- South Carolinas mens soccer game in Miami against FIU, scheduled for Saturday, was pushed back to Monday because of travel concerns.- The Tampa Bay at Florida NHL preseason game, which was scheduled for Thursday and postponed earlier this week, will not be made up.- Fridays East Coast Hockey League preseason game in Estero between the Orlando Solar Bears and Florida Everblades was canceled.- In womens golf, this weekends stop on the Symetra Tour, the IOA Golf Classic near Orlando, was canceled. Next weeks season finale in Daytona Beach remains on as scheduled.- A North American Soccer League match between the Carolina RailHawks and Fort Lauderdale Strikers in Cary, North Carolina, was pushed from Saturday to Sunday.Balenciaga Scontate Outlet .

Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short.Much has been made of Lewis Hamiltons fourth British Grand Prix victory. It was a consummate drive, worthy of comparison with Jim Clark and Nigel Mansell, whose home win totals Hamilton has now equalled.Such an evaluation may stick in the craw of an older generation struggling to get their grey heads around the modus operandi of Britains latest world champion, particularly when mentioning Clark in the same breath. But that should not detract from Hamiltons similar towering natural presence at the wheel of an F1 car. The huge difference in style and culture beyond the cockpit can be summed up by the aftermath of their respective wins in Britain.Lewis went beyond even the most enthusiastic excesses of Mansell when he twice went to see his fans, on the second occasion launching into a crowd surf from the top of the pit wall. In a sport noted for its insularity and blasé approach to the paying public, this was as refreshing as it was novel; total engagement that will have given those present something to talk about in the pub for years to come.Forty-nine years ago, I stood on the outside of Woodcote and watched my hero, Jim Clark, power to a similar imperious victory. This was in the days when Woodcote was a very quick 170 mph curve with a nasty bump in the middle of it, the cars having come flat out from Abbey Curve, rocketing into view from beneath what was known as The Daily Express bridge, thanks to sponsorship from the national daily. Just as memorable was the very British tone of track commentator, Peter Scott-Russell. Eyes right Woodcote! he would bark. Daily Express bridge. Here they come! One hundred and seventy-five milesnhour!Clarks Lotus led once Lotus team-mate Graham Hill had retired with broken suspension. Denny Hulmes Brabham was a distant second. The only interest was a tenacious duel between Jack Brabham and Chris Amon, settled when the Brabham-Repco got sideways on the Woodcote bump. Jack never lifted for a second, but the brief loss of momentum was enough for Amons Ferrari to take a successful run at him into Copse. When I say this happened right in front of us, it was exactly that, and at eye level. There was no debris fence. My mates and me leaned aggainst a horizontal scaffolding pole that, along with the grass bank, delineated the boundary between spectator and race track.ddddddddddddhere was no podium as such, the presentation being made on a trailer, manoeuvred onto the grid and loaded with the green and yellow Lotus 49, plus Clark, the Lotus team -- probably in its entirety -- and several trade associates and luminaries from the RAC. Clark, bedecked in the winners wreath and holding the same cup cherished by Hamilton, waved modestly to the crowd - as was his wont as a Scottish sheep farmer who happened to have been blessed with car control seemingly from another planet.As the flotilla set off, we joined a surge of spectators who dared to duck under the scaffolding poles, climb the bank and venture onto the edge of the track. In 1967, this was tantamount to seriously unruly behaviour. There was cheering and warm applause. Then everyone dutifully and quietly returned, aware there was another race to run. It was as different to last Sunday post-race as a gospel meeting to Glastonbury.You might think there are similar opposites when comparing Clark with Hamilton. Yet, bearing in mind how Lewis has seemed more at peace with himself in recent months than ever before, it was the same with Jim. He was living in Paris and Bermuda, having had to forsake the family farm and become a man of the world in many respects.I noticed a big change in Jimmy that year, recalls his close friend and fellow-countryman, Sir Jackie Stewart. He was no longer the Border farmer depending on [Lotus boss] Colin [Chapman]. He was a different man. He was more independent, more vocal about what he wanted. He had become very aware of who he was and what he was worth. I sensed he was going to give Colin a much harder time!Sadly, that would not come to be. Little did we realise this was the last time we would see Jim Clark race and win in Britain. He would be killed nine months later. But the memory of Silverstone 1967 lives on. Just as Sunday -- and, hopefully, more like it -- will for many happy and satisfied fans. ' ' '
