You are truely a douche and a half. It was pouring down around the Box around 6 o'clock.


..but I digress. You are indeed a total douche like your previous alters.

Eh. The forecast was for heavy rains on Tulane's campus that evening. At least Tulane canceled early enough so that people didn't drive all the way down here for no game.

don't even try to make Tulane's retarded decision half-way acceptable. Like I said before, a tee-ball league would have played the game Tulane postponed.

The game in NO was postponed several hours before it was forecast to rain and it did not rain.

Hell, when the game at Tulane was postponed (around noon) the local NO meteorologists were predicting the rain WOULD NOT be in the city that evening. They were predicting that the weather would stay north of the lake, which it easily did.

Well I'm glad Manieri is calling the shots behind the scenes at Tulane's athletic department. I wonder if he can get us out of that crappy deal we have to play Tulane in football for the next few years.

Believe what you choose to believe. I guarantee they tried to do what they could to play since Tulane was there already. The forcast was NOT predicting rain in the area until 10. The showers were completely only over the campus it seemed. It poured for the better part of 5 to 6:30 when the game was postponed.

I think the decision should be no more second guessed that the decision by Tulane to postpone the prior game when no rain happened. It is a call that has to be made. I am sure there were people other than just the coaches involved in the decision.

same thing when tulane cancelled the game

bs, TigerPhan27, fulame called that game in NO even after multiple forecasts of no more rain in the evening... while IT WAS ACTUALLY RAINING HERE AT LSU AT GAME TIME TONIGHT!!... come back when (1.) you have a REAL argument, (2.) can see/think straight, and (3.) want to contribute some real input!!...

It rained here at Tulane the day of the game. At the time they canceled it, I was on campus and it looked like death out here. The administration was obviously told by someone that the forecast wasn't so hot. Rather than let LSU fans drive in from all over the place, they decided to cancel the game early with the information they had. The game got played - just like this one will.

WWL and WDSU's noon metorologists both called for no late afternoon, evening, or night rain that day. If you think I am making this up now, pull up the thread from that day, because I know I mentioned it. They called for it to go north of the lake. (It not only went North of the lake, the northshore didn't even get it bad that night.)

Tulane made a horrible early call that day, regardless of who supported it and why. Today's game was called at gametime while it was still raining. Bad comparison between the two, period.

this is a ridiculous thing to be bickering about IMO

what a doofus... I think, in honor of all the fulame idiots that are on here bitching about anything they can grasp to try to look cool again, I think LSU should geaux and charge all their crappy credit cards retroactively to the same crappy jacked up ticket price that they charged us LSU fans to make the drive down there for the game... TWICE!!!!!!!!!!!! ...when it was not even raining there for the original game time but they called it off anyway!!!!!!... while we just charge them the same old regular ticket price for the game here... so that even if they do make the drive up here again, they are still ahead!!!...
