re: A Few Thoughts on the LSU vs. UK Game

The fact that the conference made us play the game last night in the middle of the worst Baton Rouge freeze in years is ludicrous.

In 2003 on February 15th LSU played UK in Rupp Arena and what wound up being one of the worst winter storms in the history of Central KY. Some folks in the area lost power for 2 weeks and it affected between 100,000 and 200,000 area residents. Ice brought down trees, phone, power lines, and caused all sorts of problems. Games got played and some concert still went on. Not sure if it is the SEC as much as the money of any event drives it not being cancelled.
