Found this quote in The Advocate article. Nothing else in the story is newsworthy.

Seems like ESPN is in charge...

quote:

ESPN should use “reasonable efforts” to reschedule the game if it is canceled due to extreme weathers, according to the game contract between LSU and ESPN. LSU is due $4 million by ESPN within 30 days of the game date. The network and school are not liable, for any reason, if the game is canceled because of weather, the contract reads.

If that's true, then Joe won't be too worried one way or the other.

Will still get his money.

Thank you for posting that. I don't get some of the people in this thread. LSU is not the one making the decision in this scenario. They are one of many entities involved in the scheduling of the game. However, I think the people with the final say are Advocare/Texas Bowl and ESPN. And I don't think they would be too happy if they lost any viewers or attendees because our AD came out a week before the game and said there is a chance the game might happen at a different place or time.
