Despite the blizzard that is pounding the eastern seaboard, the Duke-North Carolina State game is still scheduled to be played at 2 p.m. ET Saturday. However, North Carolina governor Pat McCrory is advising against attending the game due to the icy roads in the state.
“I’ve talked to ACC Commissioner John Swofford, and we both want to discourage fans from going,” Gov. McCrory said in a news conference Saturday morning. “The game will be played, but we don’t want you to come.
“Let’s make this a unique college experience, but I don’t want any fans there. No matter how big a fan you are and I don’t care how much you paid for tickets, I don’t want you to be there. I can’t state it any stronger and I think the commissioner feels the same way.”
McCrory says roads are in too dangerous a condition to be driven on, but since the CBS crews were already in town, it was decided that the two teams would continued as planned.
