Snow Postpones MAC Clash

The massive snowfall in the Buffalo region has affected sporting events going on in the area. The latest victim of the weather is a MAC showdown between Kent State and Buffalo scheduled for Wednesday night, which has been postponed.     

The MAC's official Twitter account first reported the news:

Earlier in the day, it appeared as if the two schools were going to try playing the game Wednesday as scheduled. Reddit College Football tweeted that the host team would be giving out free hot cocoa to anyone able to make it to the stadium:

However, as noted by Kevin McGuire of College Football Talk, Kent State and Buffalo are expected to find a replacement date for the game for bowl purposes:

On Tuesday, the Buffalo Sabres were able to host the San Jose Sharks in front of a few fans able to make it through the snow, per John Wawrow of The Associated Press:

Unfortunately, things have gotten worse in Buffalo over the last 24 hours. The city has been blanketed with five feet of snow already, according to The National Weather Service:

While the Bulls are fighting for their bowl lives, needing two wins to get to 6-6, this weather and the conditions in the surrounding area make playing a football game low on the list of priorities for the city right now.
