Meet the Rebels Day cancelled

Well, there go my weekend plans, and probably the plans of about 5000 loyal Rebel faithful. Seems an odd move to make, particularly this close to the event, especially since the OMGWTFBBQ!?!?! overreactions to Swine Flu seemed to have calmed down a bit lately. Last I checked, campus wasn't a quarantined environment and the players are going to come into contact with hundreds of students each day.

And as for this quote...

“While we may be over cautious regarding the flu, our season opener is less than three weeks away and we can’t take any chances,” Nutt said. “We certainly regret not being able to interact with our fans at this time.”

...that's interesting considering they recruited and signed Jamar Hornsby who would've been much more destructive to this team than a mild case of the flu.
