I hope they are right. It doesn't seem like we have really even had a game yet. That morning game just did not even feel right.

They were reporting this yesterday even after LSU was saying no decision to be made until possibly Wednesday.

What time are they saying the game will be played? I believe it's a night game, but with all the discussion about moving it, I'm wondering if they're changing it.

No shite!! It was kind of surreal. Even though there is no such thing as preseason games in college, I swear it felt like some sort of preseason game to me.

It should be at night since someone said the Stadium lights were on this morning. IT NEEDS TO BE AT NIGHT!

EXACTLY. It felt strange walking to the stadium and not seeing tailgating tents. It felt like we were at a Scrimmage game. What was even stranger was walking across campus after the game and seeing everything cleared out and cleaned up. That was a first.

I am pretty sure it will still be at night. Only reason I could see it being moved to the daytime would be to help with the security and traffic situation where they don't want to have lots of people driving through areas of BR after dark where there is still no power.

I am ready for a night game myself.

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.

It won't be televised so probably 7 would be my guess. I'm just ready for a nighttime game in front of a packed house!

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.

No, it should be at night because that is what they like to do if TV doesn't force us to move.

The lights being on or not doesn't matter...the lights are always on in a game. Hell they were on for the App St game.
