  1. Give them what they want....

    If I had heard it only once it would have been once too many. They say Saban wants to postpone?

    Watch out what you wish for!

    Play it Saturday!!

  2. I just think it will be moved to a neutral site and Fayetteville seems to be a logical solution. It's out of the path of the storm and its equidistant from Auburn and Baton Rouge.
  3. Thats part of it. There are a lot of other issues, as well. For one thing, all emergency personnel will be busy doing important things and wont be able to provide security, escort, etc. for the game. Also, when Hurricane Frederic hit, 11 counties in Alabama were declared federal disaster areas. There were also another 20 between Mississippi and Florida. Most roads will not be travelable for days, and the entire southern portion of this state, as well as others may be without power. Even roads that are travelable will be closed for emergency vehicles only. In fact, I-10 east-bound has been closed from extreme east Louisiana to extreme west Alabama to allow for double the traffic going west-bound on the evacuation route. The situation is the same for I-65. If you are north of Mobile, you cant get to Mobile.

    Its a rough situation. Things will probably get pretty bad here. I cant see the game happening this saturday. Best bet would probably be Nov. 6.

  5. Who came up with that forecast, Elmer Fudd?

    30 percent chance of rain on Friday. So much for the credibility of that.

    At least they got the high wind part right.
  6. Thanks for the info.
  7. Why does it need to be equal distance from LSU and Auburn? It's supposed to be an Auburn home game, they don't have to go out of the way to accomodate us.
  8. You have a good neutral site that would NOT be in the path of this hurricane?

  9. its called www.weather.com

    pretty reliable
  10. They do those forecasts w/o the hurricane in it, if the hurricane comes that way all bets are off. No one knows where the damn things are going to go really.
