MIAMI -- Fear of the damage that powerful Hurricane Matthew may cause prompted two college football postponements Thursday, and had the NFL plotting just-in-case scenarios for games scheduled in Tampa and Miami this weekend.A pair of college games set to be played Saturday -- LSU at No. 18 Florida, as well as Charlotte at Florida Atlantic -- were postponed. The Tigers-Gators game that was scheduled for Gainesville is off indefinitely, and the Charlotte-FAU game scheduled for Boca Raton is now tentatively planned to be played Sunday.Saturday nights game that has No. 23 Florida State visiting No. 10 Miami remains on as scheduled, though officials remain somewhat cautious. Also, the Georgia at South Carolina game has been pushed from Saturday night to Sunday afternoon, Gamecocks coach Will Muschamp said on his radio show.A major issue with games in Florida this weekend isnt the weather forecast for Saturday and Sunday, because those days look to be generally fine around the state. Its whether police, first responders and other key personnel needed at football games that draw massive crowds will be deployed to assist in areas that will take the brunt of Matthews wrath.This is a potentially catastrophic event for the state, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said, and public resources need to be employed where theyre most needed.Matthew has now prompted four major college football postponements this weekend. Besides the Florida and FAU home games, and the Georgia-South Carolina game, it was decided earlier in the week that the Tulane at Central Florida game -- first scheduled for Friday -- will be played next month.Also in Virginia, Massachusetts game at Old Dominion has been moved up a day to Friday night.Florida State originally planned to fly to Miami on Thursday evening; the Seminoles remained home and now plan to make the trip south Friday. Miami moved into its home-game hotel ahead of schedule, in part because its campus was closed and classes were canceled.Our hope is to be able to play at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami athletic director Blake James said. Obviously, things can happen that prohibit that.The NFL hopes to play at Hard Rock Stadium as well -- the Miami Dolphins are to host the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.The metro Miami area was not taking the brunt of the storm, and sunshine is even in Fridays forecast. But there are things to assess before deciding if the FSU-Miami and Titans-Dolphins games can absolutely be played, namely if its safe for fans to be on the roads and whether police departments have the resources to simultaneously handle football crowds and storm-devastated areas.As always, our overriding concern is for public safety and not doing anything that will divert important resources away from communities that may be in distress, the NFL said in a statement. Consistent with that, we are conducting contingency planning for the Tennessee at Miami game as well as the Tampa Bay at Carolina game.Tampa Bay is to play at Carolina on Monday night.Resources were also a factor in South Carolina, where Gov. Nikki Haley said state troopers needed to be free this weekend for hurricane detail -- not Gamecocks football.The 100 to 200 troopers that they usually request or need would not be available to them, Haley said. It wasnt immediately clear if the game now being on Sunday would change her stance.The Miami Heat got out of town on Wednesday for a couple days of practice in Houston, in advance of their next preseason game in Kansas City on Saturday.You always err on the side of caution, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. You cant leave late in these things. Its one of the few natural disasters that happen that you have an opportunity to plan for.The Florida Panthers practiced Thursday morning, and coach Gerard Gallant said he and his wife were riding the storm out at home after stocking up on provisions.Lots of peanut butter, jam, lots of bread, Gallant said.FAU said it will assess after the storm clears if Sunday is a viable option to play. For now, FAUs football team is staying across the state in Tampa, well out of Matthews path. FAUs volleyball team practiced at Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers on the southwest side of the state, which was a hurricane haven of sorts.FGCUs on-campus arena was designated by state officials to become a shelter. Many residents from the Atlantic side of the state evacuated west, and the vast majority of hotels on that side of the state were filled to capacity. So FGCUs mens and womens basketball teams took Thursday off, with plans to practice elsewhere Friday.Some other cancellations and postponements announced Thursday:- South Carolinas mens soccer game in Miami against FIU, scheduled for Saturday, was pushed back to Monday because of travel concerns.- The Tampa Bay at Florida NHL preseason game, which was scheduled for Thursday and postponed earlier this week, will not be made up.- Fridays East Coast Hockey League preseason game in Estero between the Orlando Solar Bears and Florida Everblades was canceled.- In womens golf, this weekends stop on the Symetra Tour, the IOA Golf Classic near Orlando, was canceled. Next weeks season finale in Daytona Beach remains on as scheduled.- A North American Soccer League match between the Carolina RailHawks and Fort Lauderdale Strikers in Cary, North Carolina, was pushed from Saturday to Sunday.

CHASKA, Minn. -- Tiger Woods made a beeline for an American golfer near the 18th green, the one golfer who always had the unmitigated gall to wear Tigers shade of win-or-else red on Sundays. Patrick Reed had a swing doctor in his youth, Peter Murphy, who worked with Hank Haney when the coach was working with Woods on Haneys ranch.Reed wanted to be Tiger when he grew up. Didnt every kid with a driver or a wedge in his hands? But Reed didnt just want to beat opponents as consistently as Woods did. He wanted to punish people, and scare them, just like Tiger did on muscle memory in his prime.Patrick took a lot away from Tigers demeanor, and his intimidation, Murphy would say, the way Tiger had an air about him. ...He wanted to show people that he wouldnt back down.Back down? Reed was no more likely to back down, or lay up, than the late, great Arnold Palmer. As a child prodigy in Texas, Reed was willing to put himself out there and risk a nine-car crash on the final hole in relentless pursuit of victory.And this is why Woods was heading right for him Sunday after Reed played in the Ryder Cup like Tiger did in only his wildest imagination. Woods doesnt respect opponents who shy away from full-contact engagement and the kind of psychological warfare that separates the winners from the losers, and the men from the boys.As an American vice captain, Woods loved it when Reed told him hed better not bench him for any of the four team sessions with the Europeans. As a high-profile -- if temporary -- witness of Reeds epic battle with Rory McIlroy, Woods loved it when the Americans best player traded punches with the Irish heavyweight in a prizefight best described as Ali-Frazier without the blood.So Woods and Reed sank into each others arms for the most meaningful embrace following the United States 17-11 victory over a European team that hadnt lost the Ryder Cup since 2008. They held each other tight while Reed asked Woods why in the world hed exited his singles match long before it was over.Where were you? Reed said. You left me.You had it handled, Tiger shrieked. No, you had McIlroy handled.You left me, Reeds responded through a delirious smile, and all of a sudden I made bogeys.Yes, Reed made three bogeys from the ninth hole forward. But that did nothing
