The latest track has the storm hitting north La around 1 pm Thursday with ~35 mph winds. Doesn't seem too bad to me.

No refunds? Are you kidding me? I can make the 13th, but others had made plans that this was an bye week for both schools.

Postpone the game if you must, but honor refunds because people have already made plans.

we could move it to Ruston, but A&M would probably pitch a fit


what type of contract was la tech given for this to be in shreveport? sometimes a lot more go into these nuetral site games than just the game. could have been a decent amount given to tech from local biz, city, concessions, parking etc... I don't know but it could be the reason.

La Tech really fricked this up. A&M fans should be furious at these pussies.

how much rain though? I saw some places with expected 12-16 inches of rain, but that was earlier before the track moved west, so if its rain they are worried about I understand the thinking.

Ummm, you would be pissed. And its not only about the price, it is that now these people will miss the game. They paid a ticket to an event they can no longer attend and it is out of their control.

Our pay people have said the WAC commissioner told them to postpone it and La Tech wanted to play it as well. I'm not sure why they would also want to play 12 games in 12 weeks without a bye
