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.

to everyone who doesnt live in baton rouge:
how dare you say baton rouge is "whining" about everything. if you dont live and work here, then you dont understand what its like here right now. PERIOD. 40-50% percent of the city still does not have power. traffic lights at every major intersection are out and causing 20-30 minute waits just to get through the intersection. every restaurant, store, etc that IS actually open has 3-4x multiplied their usual customer flow because everything else is closed. and whatever is open closes at 8 or earlier because of the stupid fricking curfew that hasnt been lifted yet. this causes hours of waiting to get any supplies. there are still trees and power lines downed everywhere, people still have tarps on their roofs. i could go on and on. the national media is not portraying this to be as bad as it really is. so if you dont live here and you are criticizing this city, frick YOU. and this has nothing to do with the game, personally i want the game to be here this saturday, but i have to say something to the assholes who arent going through what we are right now.
