WWL also reported all day Sunday that the game would be played in Dallas. It's not just where Ike hits, the logistics of putting the game on here, with all the traffic issues...as of this morning 40% of the traffic lites are still not working..but also the demands placed on the area police depts would be a push now as well. Traffic is nitemare.

Alleva said yesterday that Ike is the only thing that can stop us from playing in TS.

I understand that. All the more reason why it should be at night. Most people will be parked on campus early and won't disperse until after stores, etc. are closed and most other people are off the streets.

This is irrelevant. All of the surface streets near campus are directed by police, traffic lights don't matter. As for the local police, there will be plenty available for the game in my opinion, the rest of BR will be a ghost town. Traffic is a nightmare? When, before or after an LSU game, is traffic NOT a nightmare. Want to avoid the traffic? Don't come to the game. I swear this country is becoming more and more pussified. I guess next we will start playing games in the Dome when the chance of rain is above 30% on Gameday.
