Very limited impact. Nothing that should force the cancellation of a game in Gainesville which could be moved to Sunday or Monday if needed.

That's what, a quarter of a percent of the population?

ETA: Sorry, 2.5 percent.

So if Shreveport is without electricity LSU should cancel a home game in Baton Rouge?

Joe should hold a press conference RIGHT NOW and offer to put the game on Monday evening.
Whether the game is played or not, it would be a win-win.
We either play or florida looks scared.

Basically, that's the argument here. Glad to know this going forward, if we ever get in a jam with injuries in the future.

seriously? LSU could tweet that the game is on for Monday, and every player would be on campus within hours.

Are you 80 years old or something? It would be a group text. It would take a whole few seconds. We do it at my job all the time- group message to 50 workers about a meeting. Done.

The game was kicking off at 12pm eastern time. No electricity was needed anyway!

funny to see the total reverse of the rants. We all got played.

Should have never cancelled the game. Alleva was schooled by an elite AD and we are seeing the repercussions now. Either LSU gets screwed on Nov. 19 by having to play UF on the road in Nov. or we take the PR beating of being scared to play UF.

They are playing Alleva like a drum.

The reaction from other fanbases has been gold. LSU and UT are the only schools who want to make this happen.

People miss the entire fact that the game could have and should have been moved location wise and the day. Just nothing but excuses.

Can't lie, this was a good read. About UF handling of the hurricane
