Do you not have cable or know how to use the internet? This isn't the 1800s. We know what is going on in South Carolina. It's flooding. A lot.
If you haven't learned by now, news sources, including the weather channel, greatly over exaggerate everything. There is a reason that there are very few pictures of whats going on at the university and the stadium, its because they would make for a very boring broadcast. The sad but true fact is that pictures and videos of houses and cars completely submerged by water gets viewers. Pictures and videos of wet grass, doesn't. I'm going to trust what the people in South Carolina say before anyone else.

Dude, was this a momentary brain fart or does it represent your deeper insights into college football?
Just my observation, but do you think maybe you are getting close to stalking? If I rustled your wittle metrosexual sensitive feelings, I'm sorry... for causing a useless wave of bandwidth destruction taken up by silly personal comments.
What ever floats your boat though... it is still a free country. Ciao..

The fact is that there hasn't hardly been time to assess the situation and come up with a plan because people have been trapped at home. The most important thing now is safety. I know people want to know something for travel arrangements, but you might as well sit back and give the university until Tuesday or Wednesday to check their options and come up with a plan. People wanting an answer on Sunday or Monday, when the rain is just stopping are being unreasonable. I know you want to make your travel plans, but you don't want to travel to SC before Wednesday, if at all. Just give the officials a day or two to see where we're at and make a plan

It's just bad timing to be discussing this.
Then why in the frick do you insist on discussing it?
You don't HAVE to post in this thread, you know. Why not just go hang out in one of the numerous LSU/A&M defensive dick-measuring threads?

I havn't read much into this. First, prayers with everyone in South Carolina.
Why not Charlotte? I know it's not that simple. They have "Prowl the Den" contest scheduled for those days.
Do you think that could work?

Just tweeted one of the local sportswriters in Columbia to see if he's heard any relocation chatter.

What exactly have the SC posters said to counter it? Have you seen pictures of the stadium? Are you aware that the team had to evacuate during a film session yesterday? What about the infrastructure in general? Do you know definitively that first responders have the ability to handle an SEC football game? What about hotels in the area? Should we have traveling fans entering the area?

Why are you so angry?
Posted on 10/5/15 at 11:55 am to gamecocks22
As far as I know, no LSU fans expect or demand an announcement right now.

Also for the record, there are photo shopped pictures of Williams Brice under water. Not real.

No. We don't need to be dealing with an influx of barely functioning retards right now.

I doubt it will need to be moved. I'm sitting in my office in downtown Columbia a mile from the campus. The city is pretty much shut down. I can hear constant sirens and helicopters.
This is not a Katrina situation. This was heavy, steady rain causing flooding, but there is no widespread wind damage, loss of housing, or power lines down. It was not a hurricane -- the wind hit maybe 10-15 mph. The vast majority of the photographs out there are from a handful of low lying subdivisions and intersections -- especially ones with lakes and creeks where small earthen dams washed away. Plus a few roadways washed away.
Don't get me wrong -- it's a serious emergency and I have friends who have lost cars and houses. It is not an emergency of biblical proportions.
We don't have trees down and we don't have a major loss of power.
The biggest problem is the water treatment plant is located next to the Congaree River -- so it is facing some flooding, although is functioning because it is on high ground.
We have running water -- we just have to boil it for the next 2-3 days. That's a problem at the university -- but again, it's a short-term issue.
The middle and end of the week are sunny. Everything will dry out and be back to normal -- except for the people whose homes were flooded. It will be a hard emotional week for them.

The media and LSU would still have to get to town. And if an empty stadium becomes a possible scenario, maybe the game shouldn't be played at all on Saturday.
Btw, I expect the game to be played as scheduled.

SC fans acting like assholes and then wondering why other fans are acting like assholes in response to them.
Am i taking crazy pills?

LSU fans wonder why everyone hates them and think they're dumb and then go "nah it must be them. We're awesome"
