Yep. I'm kinda wondering if we have a neutral site that can be used. Can ATL host it? I mean GA and TN are both going to get some of this storm (we'll get a ton of rain on Tues. if Irma stays on pace).

I'm wondering about all of this as well. I'm attending that game, had flights, hotel, car rental booked for months. Will be interested to see what happens if it gets moved. I'm probably screwed.

Good. Make it up during your bye week.

I'm not so sure the Tennessee and Florida game gets played the following week.

Florida tried to move the game to Auburn. LINK

That wouldn't have been a bad plan for this game but y'all have a home game when we play. ATL or maybe Nashville might be the best bets for when we play. I doubt Florida would go for Knoxville. The rivalry is probably too big between the teams for that to work. That said, if came to that since UT is in Knoxville we would be able to fill the stadium pretty easily on short notice and give UF the gate money so they wouldn't lose the financial benefit of a home game.

South Carolina looks to be the closest SEC school with no home game. So I doubt an SEC school hosts it unless they're willing to do a double-header.

You know most lsu folks are good people and understand what is about to happen. Then you have people like Sausage Gravy and Fatfootshoe and all the other pricks from that crawdad swamp that have the IQ of a rock. They can insult us as much as they want. We still won the football game last year 16-10 and the basketball 100+ to whatever you pussies had. Then to top it off we kicked your arse in baseball, Yes BASEBALL your only sport that you pride yourself in being winners. Hahaha, not in 2017 bitches, the Gators beat that arse and won 4 out of 5 games. Congrats on that sec gymnastics championship and runner up national. Let us know when you win that thing outright so we can all celebrate lsu's big accomplishment.

Thanks, I'm in Jacksonville and I pray the path moves. We got lucky last year with Matthew but not so sure about this bitch. It doesn't help that the media starts the chaos two weeks before the storm ever gets here. I went to the store today, not a slice of bread or can of potted meat or tuna fish to be found.

Florida - great athletic program but shitty location. Hurricanes are bad but when they're Cat 5 it's time to evacuate. Good luck, Gators. Hope the storm takes a turn but y'all need to plan that it won't. Be safe.

this is a major hurricane that will kill and destroy anything in it's way, stop making jokes.

Most people are really careless in their posting. Matthew killed over 1,000 people last year, devastated several islands and killed 43 people here in the US. I know there's been a lot of banter about last years game but if Matthew would have come 50 miles more East, we would have had an even greater loss of life in that storm. Football really means nothing compared to people losing their property or their lives.

I've been living on an island here in Houston for the last 10 days. I was just able to get my car out of the driveway as the water has receded some. I do not wish what I just went through on anyone. I have family in Turks and Caicos which is getting smashed right now. I have family in the Bahamas, Miami and Ft. Lauderdale too. My aunts house was destroyed by Matthew last year and she is facing this monster today. The last thing on my mind is a meaningless football game.

I wish they would just cancel all these games when families and friends are in harm's way. We have die hard fans. Why try to play a game where some fans may try to get their in treacherous situations. They need to focus on the Hurricane, not a game IMO.

Sankey better be preparing for Tenn game, power might be out at least 2 weeks
