Need to go ahead and move it. Should be way easier than normal to move it up there and there is no point in waiting til the last minute.
This is from Scott Rabalais this morning in The Advocate. Take it FWIW...

Munson said LSU is of course monitoring the progress of Hurricane Delta as it boils across the Gulf of Mexico. As of Monday night, the storm was predicted to make landfall on the southeast Louisiana coast Friday afternoon, but Munson stressed it was too early to predict how it may or may not impact Saturday night’s game.
One thing not to expect: the game getting moved. The SEC carefully recrafted a 10-game conference-only schedule with five road and five home games and isn’t likely to upset that balance. I figure the game could certainly get postponed, but not moved.

Because it was just soooooo difficult to create a schedule where an even amount of teams played each other an equal number of times?
I’ll survive if they don’t move the game to CoMo, but the stated reason of “we worked too hard on the schedule, we can’t upset that balance” is really stupid.

Well this is just fricking stupid.

Either that is Rabalais giving us his unsolicited and baseless opinion, or someone at LSU is just trying to stall making a decision until the last (reasonable) minute.
If there was ANY year to pull off a "last minute" change of venue, this would be it. LSU is not going to be losing a full Tiger Stadium. For their part, it wouldn't take that great of resources for Mizzou to pull off a quickly organized home game. You're talking 10k-15k fans, at best, attending the game in Columbia. I'm sure both LSU and Mizzou would MUCH rather the game be played this week than 11/7.
Perhaps they are just bad at PR, but how the SEC doesn't have a fairly reasonable plan for hurricane impacts is beyond ridiculous. It's not like its some shock that hurricane could strike the SEC states during the months of Sept/Oct. It's only been happening for millions of years.
