re: what are some possible locations for the LSU/USC game?

Yeah it's not like the situations aren't different or anything. Baton Rouge was housing refugees IIRC, for a much worse natural disaster. The game was swapped venues because it wasn't a conference game.

you act as if there is a set in stone procedure for situations like this. the fact that this is a conference game adds that much more pressure to get the game played this weekend, however and wherever that may be. to my knowledge, usc and lsu do not share bye weeks, so that's out. the sec championship game is a week from the last game of the season. the selection committee picks the playoff teams a couple of days later, so you can't push back all that a week. the sec basketball tournament had to be played at georgia tech in front of a couple hundred people when a storm hit the ga dome. sometimes, fair or not, arrangements have to be made to get the games in when time is of the essence.
