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? Hope I'm wrong, but I've seen us in these and it get fricked up far, far too often.

Where do you suggest we play this game?

Some place that was agreed upon as a contingency last Thursday or Friday.
Prior Planning Prevents (Piss) Poor Performance. Logistics are everything.

Yep. No way they could just come out and say Nola today.
Hope we don't lose Dallas or Orlando while we're waiting.

That what WWL was suggesting last night on 4th down on 4. The heaviest rainfall for New Orleans should be tonight, we will know in the morning.

Prettt much. Sucks, but that's how it is.

I mean i think from a football perspective the only thing that would be BAD per se for LSU would be Provo, Denver, or some other elevated place.
Even Phoenix wouldn't be that big a deal IMO. Sure it would suck for the fans but it's not like 70k BYU fans would pack that stadium out either.

I still have a hard time believing you are an adult and have a brain.

Good thing you are stupid. You don't even realize you should be embarrassed due to ignorance.

Thought of that all by yourself, did ya?

You know what? You're right. How could ANYONE think this game will be cancelled/postponed and not played this weekend?
I mean, that's only happened to LSU 6 times in 12 years.

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.

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?

They have apparently contacted multiple locations to see who could host. You can have a stadium ready in about 48 hours so 5 days is plenty of time for a FINAL decision.

Really several? Besides Florida 2016 what others were there with advance notice of a storm that couldn't get done? When did they move So Car in 15? Not much more than 5 days if that.

Some problems are just too large to solve . We haven't landed on the sun yet for instance. So how can you expect Joe Aleeva, who is the best in the business by the way, to be able to maneuver his way through a 12 game schedule without losing a game. I think you underestimate the complexity of scheduling a college football game. It required phone calls and meetings and contracts - it's just Herculean in scope.

Just move it to sunday and be done with it

Lost a game in 2015.
Lost a game in 2016.
2017? Three years in a row?
First team in SEC history to play 5 SEC road games.
Thankfully we have the best AD in the business.

Gd that are fricking stupid. Wow

I get it. Major storm bearing down on Houston - absolutely no reason to lock in a backup site, right? None at all.
Just pray that everything will work out, and about half the time, it does!
