Assuming it is moved to Baton Rouge, will the kickoff time stay the same? Or will LSU have the option of making it a night game?

I would guess ESPN would have a say in this since their lineup is set. Would probably remain an 11:00 kickoff.

They moved the SC game to 230 last year. I hope they can move it around somewhat, because I hate hate hate 11 kick offs, especially at home. At least I can sit in my
Jammies to watch from my couch if it's away.

Heard ChrisBlair on radio this am ... Said time would likely change. Didn't say a time.

Wouldn't Florida have to fly in on Thursday?? And I'm hoping they can get home after.

Hopefully given the circumstances, they allow the gaame to be moved to a later slot...

Looking at the USCe game last year, I believe it was originally an 11:00 AM kickoff, then moved to 2:30 when the game was moved to BR. Not sure if that would happen this time as well, though.

if only there was a template for a game moving to baton rouge during a natural disaster weather event... if only this had happened within the last year so they could basically use the same plan.

if only

I'm sure it's the last thing UF wants. They won't get the same hospitality that USCe got last year. South Carolina was devastated at that time and needed real help.

Just watched the Florida governor on Wearher channel. They've pretty much shut down schools from Miami to Jville. Can't see this game not being moved somewhere

Added travel, and the storm would still be affecting travel routes? My wife was supposed to be at a conference somewhere in between Tampa and Orlando (we live in the panhandle of Florida), and from what we've seen, a) the conference will be cancelled and b) there's no way she's travelling in that.

Why wouldn't they? Louisiana is definitely sympathetic to victims of hurricanes.

Not sure why, there would probably only be about 45K there at this stage.

Falcons are on the road this weekend, Ga Dome would be a good spot.
