Report: LSU-BYU game could be moved due to Hurricane Harvey

[TheDayMan]

Well isn't that a novel concept? Move to a different location so they can still play... can't believe no one thought of that until now.

 

[TigerBait1971]

So LSU will go thru the same old song and dance they do every time this happens and end up not playing the game and saying it will have to be played later but it never does and they cry like little man bitches because they don't get the consideration that real teams get when they play 1 less game than everyone else, on the slim chance they jump up and can be somebody this year which they won't.


Did I leave anything out???

You left out that you are still butt hurt over that 2003 ass whopping in the NCG.

I would suggest San Antonio but a much bigger game is being played at the dome, UH vs UTSA. How about the Georgia dome, didn't that just get replaced?

Yeah. Nothing big going on there. Just Bama-Florida St and then Tennessee-Ga Tech.

As unpredictable as this storm is, the smart move would have been to relocate the game
to BYU. (If they wanted to ensure playing the game).

They are still saying this storm may go back out to the Gulf and strike the North Texas, La
coast, which will have consequences moving the game to New Orleans or Baton Rouge.
You need some lead time to move football venues. This ain't moving the neighborhood
card game from Bill's house to Tom's house.

By Tuesday night, somebody will need to make a decision or this game is gonna get
scrubbed.

Move it to College Station since A&M is on the road this weekend in California the Stadium is certainly big enough to host it. I

How about a Jerryworld doubleheader with Michigan-Florida? Then they can charge $150 for parking.

Why would they want to reduce their parking fees?

Not a whole lot of prettier places to play CFB.

I agree. They were ranked 7th in the county when we played there and hung 52 on their ass.

From what we saw Saturday, I don't think LSU has much trouble. If they do, Corch O be screwed.

How about it seems to happen to LSU more than others. I guess we can control the weather LOL.

Man, isn't about about time you get over the 2003 BCS loss?

The following is a look at weather-impacted LSU games through the years. The Tigers' record in games that were re-scheduled for a later date, earlier kickoff time or a location change is 5-3.

Dec. 5, 1964 vs. Florida: Moved from Oct. 3 to Dec. 5 in Baton Rouge because of Hurricane Hilda. Florida won 20-6.

Sept. 10, 2005 vs. Arizona State: Moved from Baton Rouge to Tempe, Ariz., because of Hurricane Katrina. LSU won 35-31.

Sept. 26, 2005 vs. Tennessee: Moved from Saturday to Monday because of Hurricane Rita. LSU lost 30-27 in overtime.

Oct. 29, 2005 vs. North Texas: Moved from Sept. 3 because of Hurricane Katrina. LSU won 24-0.

Aug. 30, 2008 vs. Appalachian State: Moved from 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. CT because of Hurricane Gustav. LSU won 41-13.

Nov. 15, 2008 vs. Troy: Moved from Sept. 6 to a common open date because of Hurricane Gustav. LSU won 40-31.

Sept. 5, 2015 vs. McNeese: Canceled due to nearly 4-hour lightning delay. Score was 0-0, game was just four minutes old.

Oct. 10, 2015 vs. South Carolina: Moved from Columbia, S.C., to Baton Rouge because of flooding. LSU won 45-24

Oct. 8, 2016 at Florida: Moved from Oct. 8 to Nov. 19 to Baton Rouge because of Hurricane Matthew. LSU lost 16-10.

I was at that game. It turned out to be free admission as long as you brought canned goods for a donation to the Katrina refugees. LSU peeps showed up in force and it turned out to be a great game, great environment and so many people contributed to the cause. I had the pleasure of tailgating with some cool AF LSU people.

Corch O will be screwed anyway before the season is over, but that BYU outfit ain't gonna
be one of the teams responsible.

Which is why I don't understand why everybody is dragging their feet on moving this
game. There is ZERO chance the Governor of Texas is gonna allow 70/90 thousand
people to come streaming into that city. Plus, I don't believe that Baton Rouge or
New Orleans is a safe alternative at the moment.

Error on the side of caution or be faced with another 11-game season.

Why would they want to reduce their parking fees?

It's raising them. They get anywhere from 40 to 80 dollars to park depending on how close you are to the stadium.

Not to take up for the filthy Land Thieves, but I don't think barely winning 21-14 is considered an ass kicking. Now what KSU did to them in the CCG, and what SC did to them in the title game the next year, that is considered an ass kicking, curb stomp, r*pe, etc, etc......

This game is being run by ESPN and the Advocare Group.

They are looking for different locations.

Taking up for the Sooners.

That's gross

I know. I should be tarred and feathered

Daughter and son-in-law paid $125 the last time they went.

Yeah, it's been a few years since I went. I know they had a $60 pizza for the luxury boxes, wonder what that cost now?

 

[huskers1217]

Ha NRG is (was) only charging 50 for parking. I guess I should cancel my hotel reservations. I just saw a report of a tornado near the Galleria.

Seriously, having gone through several storms and last years flooding, it is more important NRG be available for evacuees if needed.

NRG isn't suitable for evacuees. We do have a convention center that is nice
