SAN ANTONIO – For the first time in more than 50 years, an ACU football game has been postponed and moved to another game, this time because of historic rainfall and potential flooding in San Antonio.Because of the heavy rainfall in San Antonio over the last two days and the potential for much more, it was decided early Saturday morning to postpone the day's game between ACU and Incarnate Word and move it to Sunday at 2 p.m. at Benson Stadium on the UIW campus.The game was to have been broadcast to a national TV audience on American Sports Network on Saturday, but Sunday's game will not be broadcast on TV. Incarnate Word will carry a live stream on its Web site (uiwcardinals.com).The ACU radio broadcast will be carried on 102.7 The Bear instead of its normal station on 98.1 FM The Ticket. The Wildcats' normal radio home will be airing the Dallas Cowboys' game against the New York Giants at 3:25 p.m. Fans can listen to the game online at www.102thebear.com If for some reason the game has to be postponed Sunday, officials are still discussing the possibility of playing the game at the end of the season.The last ACU football game to be postponed came in 1963 when the Wildcats' game at Fresno State ­­­– originally scheduled for Nov. 23 – was postponed until Nov. 30 after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on Nov. 22. The last time an ACU game was cancelled or postponed because of weather was Sept. 21, 1957, when ACU's game at then-East Texas State in Commerce, Texas, was cancelled because of torrential rain and flooding.No other Wildcat game since that day has been postponed until Saturday when officials from the city of San Antonio, the Southland Conference, Incarnate Word and ACU decided to cancel Saturday's football game.The storm that has covered most of Texas the last two days has caused major flooding problems in south and east Texas, including Corsicana (16 ½ inches on Friday along) and across most of south Texas. To this point, the weather service office in San Antonio warned residents that four inches of rain per hour could fall there Saturday morning, and that the San Antonio River was flooding an area around I-410.At least one person was missing there as floodwater pulled a homeless man into a drainage ditch tunnel early Saturday after he tried to rescue his dog from the ditch, San Antonio Fire Department spokesman Christian Bove said.As if all this rain isn't enough ­– even for a state that's been dealing with extensive droughts – more could be coming early next week, compliments of Hurricane Patricia, which made landfall in Mexico late Friday and whose remnants are expected to cover much of Texas with rain.
