Would LSU consider playing this game at North Texas?

Assuming that this storm causes significant damage to Baton Rouge (like Gustav did), would LSU consider moving the game to North Texas, like was done with Arizona State in 2005?

Or would this game be canceled and not rescheduled at all?

Hopefully, the storm blows through quickly, and there is no significant wind damage, power outages and flooding. However, you have to plan for the worse case scenario.

LSU cannot afford to sacrifice the revenue associated with a home game. Period. Hence, LSU's administration will do everything in its power to play this game in Tiger Stadium at some point.

Could we play in Dallas (Cotton Bowl)? Would our new A&M brother be willing to host us?

LSU doesn't have a lot of options...one bye date (between the A&M and Bama games)...and I believe that North Texas has a game that day. I guess they could move the game to Monday, but that is cutting is close to the game against Washington.

I imagine that is what they would do in the most extreme case - move the game to Sunday or Monday. I can't believe LSU would cancel the game altogether or move it to another site. If they did that, they would be forced to refund all of the tickets and forego concessions and other revenue associated with the home game. It would have to be a pretty potent Category One to necessitate that result.

Hurricane is in New Orleans. Not going to affect Baton Rouge. LSU will play Saturday night in BR!

AS for North Texas stadium, uh...30,000 seats?? Really?

You do realize that the Cotton Bowl isn't played in the actual Cotton Bowl, right? There's Cowboys stadium (where the cowboys play) and the Cotton Bowl (where Texas and OU play).

Which place would we play? I think it'd be Cowboys stadium myself. Or even Reliant in Houston.
