re: TAMU/LA Tech game postponed?

It wouldn't be the fear of the storm actually hitting Shreveport but rather the logistical issues of a massive evacuation being in process. During Ike or Rita (can't remember which) A&M had a game against Texas St they actually told people not to come to because Houston and Galveston were being evacuated and they didn't want the extra traffic. They ended up playing the game though. In '88 A&M had the "Hurricane Bowl" with Bama where they postponed a game and played it later in the year, though the Hurricane never ended up hitting.
