From Denver for the game on Saturday. I fly back to Denver next Wednesday, September 3rd. What do you think the chances are:

1. The game will be postponed by Gustav?
2. I'll get stranded for a few days?

I say,

1. 60%
2. 75% (remember, this is New Orleans!)

You have a 100% chance of having fun until Sat evg.

As far as the game and rest of it, adapt yourself and have fun...whatever happens!

I made the most out of a rental car during the Katrina season.

If you are coming in from the Democratic Convention, I suggest waiting until Monday afternoon to fly in.

I've avoided going anywhere downtown; I live in Douglas County, which is 25 miles due south of the Pepsi Center. I wish I could trade Gustav here this week for the game Saturday night!

Hey L.A--

You know they're gonna postpone the game, now that we're going, right? Remember the Tiger Band Reunion in 2005 and a little girl named Katrina? How did that work out?

Flying in won't be a problem. The game won't be postponed. Getting back may be a problem. You could possibly fly out of Baton Rouge if Gustav has New Orleans airport shut down.

I have a history of bad things happening when I schedule vacations, particularly when it involves LSU:

1. I went to the LSU Alumni Band Reunion in 2001. My flight back from New Orleans was on Tuesday, September 11th.

2. The Band Reunion in 2005 was the week after Katrina; game was delayed and moved to Arizona.

3. August 2008: Gustav-- Enough said!
