I've seen us in these and it get fricked up far, far too often.

When exactly have you see this fricked up? How many times? Please list them. Because other than Florida last year, I can't think of a single time a where a game couldn't be moved successfully. And the only reason that Florida became such a clusterfrick was because Florida, despite the urging of LSU and SEC officials, dug in their heels and refused to move the game. Florida decided they would take their chances and either play in Gainsville or not at all.

There were no problems moving South Carolina to LSU a few years ago.

Nor were there problems moving our Arizona State home game to Tempe in 2005.

Nor were there problems moving our UT home game to a Monday night in 2005.

It's Monday - afternoon - and they haven't made a decision. You tell me how easy it is to move a NCAA game on 5 days notice?

The Superdome says that they need to know something by Tuesday to make it happen. I assume other venues that are in contention need similar notice. And don't you think ESPN, who it would seem is solely in control of this decision now that NRG is definitely not happening, knows exactly how long they need to mobilize their equipment and crews?
