Good advice, because this even happens to the "big dogs".
Way back in the early '80's, (that's 1980's) the U of I had a big game against KY on Christmas Eve. However, there was a major snowstorm that hit the area, and even though KY made it to town the day before, the entire crew of officials never made it to town. There were 3 HS/juco/D-3 officials that had season tickets that had their stuff ready to go, so when they got the call they were prepared for a great experience.
Even last night, at the Purdue/WI game, they mentioned Hightower could not get out of St. Louis due to the weather, so they had to find a replacement official from the Chicago area that drove up to Madison in time for the game.
