If it's in Orlando, does that mean it will have a 9:30 pm start time? Since BYU can't play on Sundays, that would make for a very interesting 2nd half.

Driving 4 hours to Houston and buying a flight to Orlando are two different things.

That's a 10 hour car ride. And arguably the furthest place they could pick for both teams.

Of the out of state options, Orlando is the only one that makes sense at the moment (People keep saying PHX. But I haven't seen an official word on it). Also, if they say something today. It gives both fanbases a fair amount of time to change flights from Houston to Orlando.

Not to mention, flights from MSY to Orlando are extremely cheap at the moment LINK

there's no place to move it that's a win for all at this point, focus should be just on getting it to a venue that can accommodate and get the game in

We have one less home game this year because of the bullshite pulled last year. Now, our neutral site game is moved to a location that not everyone can get to last minute. Its bullshite.

It's really not bullshite and you shouldn't compare the two scenarios because they are completely different.

Do Utah people have some kind of genetic disorder that makes it difficult for them to travel? Asking for a friend.

That's your opinion, which I respect, but I also have mine.

BYU released a statement weeks ago saying that if the game goes into midnight they will keep playing. But they will not start a game on Sunday.

Nah I get that. But lets not act like its NBD to change your plans from Houston to Orlando.

I am sure there are a ton of people that were gonna make the drive. shite, imagine all the fans in the central/west part of the state that had a 2 hour drive just turn into 12.

Ones that weren't even gonna need a hotel.

I don't care where its played as long as its played. But for LSU fans in particular its logistically much much more difficult now. BYU fans were flying regardless.

ETA: We are going to Nola if its there

BYU won't start a game on Sunday. They will continue playing if the game goes into Sunday per the BYU SID.

Our AD doesn't get a say so in this move. I'm glad we'll have a game regardless of where it's played, but putting this on our AD is wrong, this time.

People are losing their homes right now, don't bitch too much about having to watch a game on tv instead of going to it.

Come on, man. It's been repeated on here.

BYU's religious stance precludes them from STARTING a game on Sunday.

Their coaches/administration have said repeatedly they will finish any game started late Saturday, should it run past midnight.

You mean the same time it was supposed to start anyway. 9:30 eastern is 8:30 central.

You realize the game was starting at 9:30 eastern originally, right?
