Regarding the timeline, I find it's best to handwave these things away unless they're essential to the story. After all, comics have always had a sliding timeline. Despite running for 100+ issues, I can't think of a time when Peter Parker was on summer vacation in Ultimate Spider-Man, for example.

To be fair, RL also doesn't super villains, heroes, etc like this world does. That logically should be accounted for. I see one or two options, that could be plausible. I've not read the post btw.

1. This could've happened in the past and been covered up, somehow, or not investigated yet. Newspapers tend to be known in the comicbook and RL to cover key aspects, some times important ones, to bring calm to the nation. Think about WWII, we censored EVERYTHING when it came down to media over anything to do with the nuke project. It's not totally impossible this could be something like that, covered in another incident?

2. The game could not be connected to the football season, but a thing done by two different schools since their one game got cancelled. So it's like a big finale that is less for competition and more for fun, requiring little editing or change, and the when doesn't really matter. It might not make full sense but honestly, not everything a school/uni/etc does. It could be a tradition that they just now got around to with everything that has happened.

Heroes never have summer vacation, even when they are off school...

College football programs also have spring exhibition games, usually the first-team offense against the first-team defense. Although they aren't usually until March/April, we could always fudge the numbers.

Also I am sorry to cause issues but I am not really a sports guy. So whatever way of explaining it would be great. So thank you to those with solutions. It did not take place in the past. So I guess the early game thing or and sort of wacky schedule due to the invasion and other drama would be best.

Might've started as foresight with the recent events? I mean, it's pretty clear things weren't very good last time with people busting things up and getting things started a little earlier might help get them actually finished. :p

Gosh darn it! Why do you have to make my argument fall apart... :(

I looked at the spring game schedules for last year (2015) and this year (2016) and saw that the majority of games were played late-March and all of April (and the majority of those were played in April). However, unfortunately for my argument, I saw two games that could support the existence of a game in Lost Haven. Last year, Duke had their Spring game in February 28th, which fits into our time line. Also, this year, apparently Arizona is having their game in early march (March 4th). So both of those dates fall into our late-February/early-March timeline.

Darn it! Looks like I have to (partially) wave the white flag...

You're not the only one and honestly, it's not the cause that's important or worrisome. It's the way and how we find the solution that has the greatest effect, so far this is a good start.

I would say, after what Eddie Brock mentioned, that the best "solution" is that the game in your post was the Spring game (i.e. the team scrimmages with themselves and the fans come out to see how the team is shaping up to be). The only change you need to make is your 3rd paragraph (the one after the one sentence 'paragraph'). Just edit out the playoff reference and maybe insert something along the lines of the university moving the Spring game up so that the city has something positive to look forward to.

Will do.

*pulls arm away from Fallenreaper* I don't give hugs to people who basically call me a dog in all but name. I would rather go hug my abusive drider PC...

You hear that Arachne! He's gonna hug you, and by that he probably means accidentally cop a feel.

Family gatherings must be a pain for her now. I mean all the awkward hugs they're forced to attempt. Or is she restricted to handshakes?

And this, my friends, is how you all scare everyone away.

We're just making sure we attract the right crowd.

I'm still here. Just lurking while working.

I'll be posting in the next day or so. I've been crazy at work and seriously sleep deprived. If I were to try to post now, you MIGHT get something halfway coherent, but probably not.
