They need to get the Florida equipment truck rolling to BR ASAP . Hell they don't need a band we will provide their fight song just bring the CD . This game has to go on period stop the madness make a decision or forfeit .

Anyone else think the changing font size is odd?

Florida gonna Florida

You people are pitiful pulling for this storm to effect people on Florida just to get a football game moved to BR that most of you likely wouldn't even attend

tigersbh•104 months

Where have they done that?

RileyTime•104 months

Guess it's no time for jokes. Because, you know, people from Louisiana really like to wish hurricanes on people. Lighten up, Francis.

Oyster•104 months

I hope the game stays in Gainesville. 11:00 game at either place will be miserable this time of year. FL doesn't need a hurricane and BTR doesn't need this game. Remember if this game comes here this year our game next year goes there.

pellietigersaint•104 months

no, next years game would NOT be in Gainsville. Where do you people get this from. IF it were moved, it would be a UF home game in TS. Stick to facts when posting please. Dont just say what you think and pass it off as fact That said, hopw they play it in the swamp. the hurricane needs to stay in the gulf so the only pain the UF fans have to deal with is the agony of defeat

PsychTiger•104 months

"the hurricane needs to stay in the gulf " If you're gonna criticize someone for their facts, be sure to get your facts correct in the reply.

rob62•104 months

Next year the game will be in Baton Rouge regardless.

Mostly, let's hope those in Gainesville (especially in areas of the more direct path) come out clean. Then let's play some ball.

Cadello•104 months

The last 2 updates on Intellicast have brought the Hurricane closer to Florida. Where Gainesvlle wasn't even in the yellow, it's now in the orange which says 60 mph winds. Don't blame me, blame the hurricane trackers.

I'm waiting to hear what Nash says.

mjfog•104 months

Nash Roberts? How old are you BobABooey? I use to watch Mel and Nash in New Orleans back in the 50's. Good times. Jax, Regal and Falstaff: where did all the good times go. I'm over here in Palm C ity, FL putting up shudders and getting ready for Matthew. Hope he passes offshore.

BobABooey•104 months

Mel Levitt? Didn't he host Varsity Quiz Bowl too? Jimmy Steele doing the sports on channel 6 (I think). He had a coffee cup with who knows what in it and would "raise the victory cup" to a team that won and take a drink. Hap doing the Fairgrounds results on 4....good times.

Florida will decide to cancel so they can get more time to prepare.

OchoDedos•104 months

Those of you going to GNV check your reservations, State of FL is likely to commandeer Hotel rooms for 1st Responders and Utility Crews

LSU2a•104 months

Models are going nuts and continue to trend westerly... the Euro (the most dependable of the models) even shows this storm doing a loop after making a landfall in Florida and curving back for a second landfall and subsequent path into the Gulf as a weak tropical storm. I would say that there is a 95% chance that this game will be moved/ canceled.

sonuvapitcher•104 months

As big of an LSU fan as I am, I will not celebrate people going through a potentially devastating storm so we get an extra home game.

El Campo Tiger•104 months

I think the best thing that can happen for LSU is to play this game at its original site, date and time. This football team is ready to go into the Swamp and come away with a win.

monsterballads•104 months

Florida is in denial like South Carolina was last season

whit•104 months

I read it as someone yelling at the beginning and calming down a little and then yelling again and finishing off calm.

Capo Losi•104 months

The fact that Gainesville will not be directly hit means nothing. LSU still has to fly in and emergency responders may also be needed in other parts of the state. I think they are being very optimistic here.

Dalosaqy•104 months

What's up with the font choices in his statement?

Monsieur le Duc•104 months

It makes absolutely no sense. Someone in their communications office has a shitty understanding of "trendy" typesets.

YrNucoach•104 months

It's secret code

lsuohiofan•104 months

Though the storm is devastating when it hits, but it is always the aftermath that is where the real issues arise. Power, Housing, Roads, Transportation. It will be interesting with a State of Emergency in place whether they play or not.

lsuohiofan•104 months

We are flying in Thursday and I really don't know what the airlines are going to do yet. I may get there and not be able to get for a few days!

FIRE_coachesname•104 months

Frustrating, bought tickets to South Carolina last year and the same thing happened. Looking forward to the 3:00 announcement.
