Seems like moving it to BR would be pretty easy. If BYU would go for that, Provo could be worked out if things are planned a few days in advance.

The storm is very likely coming to SE Louisiana. BR probably not happening. In my opinion anyway.

I wouldn't be surprised. I'm beginning to wonder if we will ever play a full 12-game regular season schedule again. Maybe we should start scheduling 13 games a year so that we can actually play 12.

If I were LSU I would be coming up with a contingency plan just in case.


If I were LSU I would have contingency plans for all 12 games set up in July. I would have a standing understanding with every NFL stadium in the south. Have a list of which stadiums are available each weekend. Know how much lead time each stadium needs to be ready for each weekend. Have an agreement on a rental fee. Figure out the hotel situation. Everything that you can think of should be worked out so that all you need to do at this point is monitor the storm and flip the switch if needed.

Makes sense if so. I haven't looked at the projected path.

this is way smart people think. how unusual.

I guess cancelling games is a recent phenomina (sp) due to the severe lightning rules. with an increase in turbulent weather (due to global warming no matter what alt right frickers think) and LSU and all teams need to have alternated plans.

Nope, but your ticket won't do much good if there isn't a game now will it, grumpy?
