To people who live in BR:

As an almost lifelong resident of MS, I am sorry for everything that has happened to you. When Katrina came through and hit MS and LA, I was without power for over a week in Pearl, MS. I know what you are going through. It was almost unbearable. I didn't go stay with anyone with power.

I will say that to follow up with this: The national media are fricking trash, and they really dropped the ball. It seems like just because the storm didn't hit NO, the media didn't give a shite. I did not even know BR was hit that hard, until i saw the pictures from LSU's campus. I graduated from LSU, and seeing those magnificent Oak trees ripped out of the ground and hearing you guys' stories is heartbreaking. Especially someone who went to LSU and walked through the quad and the campus all the time. I have a deep appreciation for everything that is LSU, and the people of Louisiana.

So, if the game is moved, i will accept it and will positively understand. You guys are not alone, and if anyone needs anything, just let me know. To all you Louisiana residents and LSU fans who were affected by the storm:

contact entergy and tell them to get shite back up

You've obviously never worked for a utility company, much less in an emergency restoration after a major storm. I can assure you the Entergy guys that are on the street working are doing their absolute best. 16 hour days, seven days a week if I had to guess.

That being said, by Saturday, there should only be minimal outages remaining and it won't affect game time in TS. I am sympathetic to the conditions many are having to endure, but this game really needs to be played in TS this weekend, Ike allowing.
