Blue-White Game Moved to Oct. 12 at the Smith Center

Great to see the proceeds going to help the storm victims.

Also great to see the scalpers are getting absolutely screwed on this. They bought up tons of tickets for the Cherokee event, and you can still see them listed on StubHub for as much as $415 per ticket. Sorry scalpers, it's $10 to get into the Dean Dome and it's general admission. Nobody is buying your tickets and you aren't getting a refund.
 
That is great news for the fans but the big question that needs to be addressed is will there be fan buses running from the Friday center since much of the fleet will be needed to bring people back from the football game
