Interesting enough that ESPN had to grant permission for this to happen. They have way too much power.

IMO to try and lower attendance a little to placate the people bitching about having the game traffic interfering with power restoration

Yeah I know, but I am not used to these type of things being given away by LSU. I guess an earlier poster had it right that Skip is gone

From TAF:

The move was approved by the Southeastern Conference after ESPN approved a waiver for the game to be seen free in the Baton Rouge market. ESPN holds the SEC cable rights for the primetime broadcast window, but the waiver was sought when Cox was unable to process orders due to the impact of Hurricane Gustav.

“We are pleased we are able to offer this with our partners at Cox to their customers in the Baton Rouge area,” said LSU director of athletics Joe Alleva. “The SEC and ESPN were understanding of our situation here after the hurricane and made an exception so that Tiger fans in Baton Rouge could enjoy this game.”
