What is your source?
A friend close to the team...obviously, the easiest move is moving it to November, but LSU is desperately trying to play the game this weekend if they can. Otherwise, the decision to move the game would have been made already.

It makes sense.

Is your friend in a position to know? Or, just in a position to have heard from someone in the know?

Superdome would be a way better option than Reliant

Not to mention a far superior venue as well as a good way to get a little more exposure in Houston.

good call but it sure would have been nice to get Hatch and the O some reps.

Oh well. We'll survive.


I'd just as soon have them taking reps against the LSU defense the next two weeks rather than Troy. Let's look at it a different way: Auburn has one more chance to get players injured.

sucks. we need reps for the QBs early in the season before we go to auburn. Troy's D would be the best they would face before Auburn. We need off date late in the season. This takes both of those away.



Agree 100%. This is bad for the team, but they wouldn't have done it if it wasn't necessary for the BR community.

Troy was a perfect early season test before Auburn, but now this will be a tough matchup between Bama and Ole Miss that takes away what would be a very timely bye week. Tough break. It really sucks that there is no way to move it to another location this weekend.

Hope everyone in BR is safe and suffered minimal damage.

shouldn't be a problem, and it is closer for LSU, Troy and most fans. The LSU AD already had a relationship with SMG and logistically it would be a lot easier than moving it to Houston
