Yeah at this point I can't see them playing the game Saturday. The biggest reason won't be the storm, it'll be long gone, but the state of Louisiana is not going to want over 90,000 people attending a game and possibly impeding emergency response and creating a possible gas shortage. Plus since it's Labor Day Weekend and there is no NFL to compete with LSU has more flexibility than on any other weekend during the season. My guess is the game is postponed until Sunday at 7. Gives LSU enough time to check Tiger Stadium, clean up any debris, and allows ESPN to set up their cameras and get their game crew in safely. It could even be Monday night as well like in 2005 but I'm guessing Les Miles is not going to want only 5 days to prepare for Washington. It would be too disruptive to the regular game week schedule and honestly unless there is significant damage to LSU and/or Baton Rouge Sunday should be fine.

That's cool and all but we're playing Saturday night. Isaac packed a pretty good punch but Baton Rouge withstood it very well.
