Since everyone will need to evac anyways.

Kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

Are we ready for an environment like this right off the bat?

How many does their stadium hold? Arizona State had a bigger venue and the season had to get started. Plus the hurricane is not hitting until Monday.

Just move the game to 11:00. That'll buy five hours. It sounds like any mandatory evac will be Saturday at the earliest.

they should do this if the situation has not improved by tomorrow afternoon. i'd rather go ahead and play the game at boone then have to fit it in during a bye week.

Not to be an a-hole, but LSU does not even want to travel to a BCS school that seats like 35,000 fans, why would they want to head to AA school that seats 21,000, with 6,000 more squeezed on a hill when the hurricane won't hit on the day of the game or even the day after the game?

Why not just move it to, say, Shreveport before doing that.

They are not going to move the game to Boone, NC.

LSU shouldn't and won't sacrifice the revenue associated with this home game.

If the game gets cancelled (a big "if"), I am certain they will try to reschedule it at a later date in TS.

But they aren't going to move it to a 21,000 seat venue. Jesus.
