It was announced Wednesday that South Carolina's home game against LSU has been moved to Baton Rouge as a result of severe flooding in the Columbia region.

Kickoff is set for 2:30pm CT, with the TV Network TBA.

Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
“Yesterday, we made the extremely difficult decision to cancel classes for the week due to the stress 34,000 students would place on the region’s recovering infrastructure, there is no doubt 85,000 fans would exact the same toll,” said USC President Harris Pastides. “In the spirit of supporting our South Carolina community that is so supportive of Gamecock Nation, we have decided to move the game to Baton Rouge. The stress on law enforcement and first responders is too great. Moreover, we’ve had many in the Carolina family directly impacted by the flooding.”

Details for the game, including kickoff time, are being finalized with officials from LSU and the SEC.

Arizona State did a great job of hosting us in 2005. They had one endzone painted in LSU colors and one in ASU colors. We should do at least the same and give a donation to the relief efforts. This is a nice opportunity for LSU to pay forward all the donations and kindness we received in 2005.

LSU better hope they don't lose, because that would be totally embarrassing.

Conspiracy, argu! We would have beat the puss out of them there as well.

Real life, I pray for those people daily.
On the field, it's war, duck whoever lines up against the Tigers, wherever we are playing.

Put the gamecock logo at midfield....honor them. Paint the end zones with the gamecock's normal decorations. It will be surreal!

Those of you gloating over getting your extra home game are pathetic.
