Being from New Orleans I do not think playing with hurricanes is funny or wise.
What I do find "funny" is one LSU fan says they should have moved it early in the week when the threat developed, and another says they made a decision too quick.. and both were 500 miles away from the epicenter. Freaking arm-chair generals talking about what they would do in Vietnam while sipping cocktails...
The reason LSU is regarded as the bad guys in this is because of that LSU AD director going on national press and going on and on about Florida. And then threatening to cancel if the game wasn't in BR, and being a general dick about any reasonable compromise.
Truth is LSU had gained an advantage the previous year getting USCe to give LSU a free home game. And so the AD tried to publically pressure Florida to move it to BR and they you all acted like spoiled children trying to blame everyone except yourselves..
Wake up! Just about everyone in the country, certainly the SEC, cheered when Florida won that game and there is a reason. Yet you learn nothing, so here you pips are, still protesting and making declaring LSU blameless and this and that, and everyone is telling you to sit down and shut the F up about it. Your credibility is damaged.
My advice... sit down and shut the F up about it...your credibility is damaged.

Well, if the storm is a threat, LSU fans can rest easy that with the steady, assured leadership of Joe Alleva there's no way the situation will be mishandled.
There are four options:
1. Move it to Baton Rouge (Least Likely since the weather is going to affect Baton Rouge too).
2. Move it to Provo. (Unlikely. See Alleva's reaction last year.)
3. Move it to Monday. (Easiest solution)
4. Just cancel it. It's not a conference game and, ultimately, is meaningless.

i will safely assume that had a cat 3 hurricane was heading towards Houston the day of the game, and somehow it only ended up causing some minor tropical storm like damage, LSU fans would certainly justify the game's cancellation.

kind of like that time hurricane Ike hit Louisiana Saturday morning, caused substantial damage, and LSU played the game that same day anyway?

For the record, we are discussing it in the rant because it would, in fact, be 3 incomplete seasons in a row which is infuriating as a fan.
I love how this managed to devolve yet again into a pissing contest about who's fault it was re: Florida '16. My points to that are:
If you have a strong expectation that a storm is landing on game day, so much so that you have dispatched all available emergency forces, doesn't it make sense to have a contingency plan besides canceling the game? (the initial plan before the shitestorm began)
LSU fans were primarily pissed that the plan was to cancel the game and not reschedule it initially. We wanted that game badly. I, for one, would rather have played in Gainesville (especially in hindsight) because us eventually losing that game means Florida fans get to control this narrative that we were "afraid to play them in the swamp."
I also don't expect that you'll find many Joe Alleva fans among us, as I was embarrassed by his national whining. It did little to help our case. All I can say is I wanted the game to happen. It's unfortunate that it concluded in such a messy manner
That game was so frustrating for LSU, but we deserved the loss. If we couldn't punch it in from the damn goal line with that many attempts, then we didn't deserve to win. Here's hoping our next matchup has less petty drama and better play.

I live in TN and work in nearly every state in the SEC. I've discussed this topic ad nauseam with lots of folks, and you couldn't be more wrong. Some rooted for UF and some rooted for LSU.

Oh, trust me. No matter how wrong he gets, he can always get "more wrong". You are talking about literally the least credible, most full-of-shite poster on the entire internet.

this is literally the only thing Alleva pushed for. These idiots tend to forget he offered to play at a neutral site or even in Gainesville on Monday if the damage or lack-thereof allowed. He said as much publicly.

That all depends on how long you have. A couple of weeks? I would think you could make contingency plans. A week? I would think that that would be tough. You aren't just moving teams. You have many more things to consider than just that.
ETA several days? I don't see how that could be done.

he probably doesn't even leave New Orleans or deal with folks outside of Louisiana. Yet he is speaking for all of the country and SEC.
Hell, half my office seems to be from Ole Miss or and even they thought it was unreal that UF didn't work with LSU on a contingency plan.

We also moved a game time within a couple days of Gustav hammering us as well

LSU has done it. Not to mention Alleva already had a venue at some small Alabama school, if I'm remembering correctly.

You moved it after the fact. How many days had it been since Katrina had made landfall when you played the game?
ETA I just looked. Two weeks later. So that's your comparison?
