Will the weather cause the OM vs FSU game to be moved?

The tropics are heating up. Invest 99L may become a hurricane and strike Florida. If it hits close to Orlando...is there a possibility that the game will be moved to Oxford?

Well it happened for the SCAR vs LSU game last year.

Doubt it. The tropical system (whether it develops or not) should be well past Florida by early next week. Most models don't show it to be a very intense storm either.

It could cause some issues. It's too early to tell.

It'll be well beyond Orlando at least 2-3 days before the game.

Yeah. OK. HOw much damage does it leave in its wake?
It's too early to tell if it will cause any issues or not.

So you're saying that a hurricane won't leave damage in Orlando if it comes through that area?....yea right. Its too far out to tell but there is a possibility

I don't want a hurricane to hit...but it sure would help us out a lot.

I've never down voted a fellow Ole Miss fan but I down voted you.
Why would they move it to Oxford? What makes you think they would relocate a game? They would just cancel it.

Probably a bit easier to type this if you don't live in North-Central Florida

Ask Freeze to say a prayer for ya.
I hear he has an inside track with the big man and he doesn't seem to be above cutting corners to get what he wants. So what's the big deal if a hurricane destroys Orlando? So long as Ole Miss wins, damnit.
ETA: Serves them right for having gay clubs in the first place, amirite?

With a sub par running game I would think OM best chance to win is having game moved. A hurricane bowl would def benefit FSU and Dalvin Cook more.

Scar vs LSU was relocated...why is it so farfetched to think they wouldn't relocate a game for a hurricane? Do they only do that for conference games?

I hope for no hurricane...no bad weather...let's just let these two teams meet and the best team on that night win...and no injuries on either team.

It could potentially hit Florida then hit Mississippi so I wouldn't rule out the game being flat out rescheduled

I remember when games being cancelled, moved or rescheduled due to weather were very rare. There were usually none in an entire season and only occasionally maybe one or two.
Since 2005, they have become much more common. From 1971 through 2004, I don't think LSU ever had a game rescheduled, moved or cancelled due to weather. I think the last one had been the Florida game in 1964. In 2005, we had three. Since then, we've had at least three more, including two last year. And that's just one school, and doesn't even count games with significant weather delays that didn't end in cancellation or postponement.
Other schools also seemed almost never to have any. I remember an Alabama-Texas A&M game being rescheduled back in the '80s or '90s because of a hurricane, and seem to recall a Miami-UCLA game in the late '90s or early 2000s rescheduled for the same reason, but that's about it. Now, it seems uncommon to get through the first month of football season without at least one game somewhere being rescheduled, cancelled or moved because of weather, and to have a whole season without one seems almost unheard of. What used to be the exception is now apparently the rule. Even this year, although a disruption seems unlikely right now, Baton Rouge isn't out of the woods yet for our week 2 game versus Jacksonville State.
So, I guess to answer the OP, apparently it's bound to happen to a game somewhere in the first few weeks of the season, so that one seems as likely a candidate as any.
