This isn’t the first time that Miami has had to cancel a game. They famously had to postpone a game in 1998 against UCLA. With the Pac 10 or Big East having conference championships in that era the game was moved to December 5. It was originally scheduled for September 26 and was cancelled because of Hurricane Georges.

UCLA coach Bob Toledo spoke out about the cancellation at the time.

"“Deep down inside, I’m actually kind of glad that we’re not going,” said Toledo, who broke the news to his players as they prepared to board a bus to LAX. “I’m responsible for those young men and to their families, and I would feel terrible if something happened. You’ve got to keep it in perspective: This is a game.”"
