LSU fans are absolutely delusional. Perhaps the experts understand that Gainesville isn't getting hit hard and the game is going to be played without any problems.

No one gives a frick about whether or not the fans can come or not. You sound like a fricking dipshit

there's no way that a University would allow a game to happen if there was a real threat to the immediate safety of the players and fans.


I trust that this is true and am glad it looks like they will be able to play the game as scheduled.

there will be rain and tropical storm winds in Gainesville, but nothing severe enough to cause major damage.


I certainly hope for no loss of life and minimal damage.

Florida understands how to handle big storms. We get that Katrina was a horrible disaster, but Florida is prepared and understands how to handle storms like this.


No need for this kind of condescension. All places suffer natural disasters for which they are not prepared, including Florida multiple times in the past.

Can't wait! In the meantime, stay safe and dry Florida folks.

You are delusional if you don't understand that hurricanes can easily change paths. Those cones are based on probabilities, bro.

I'm quite positive that the UF administration and the Gainesville area businesses will give a frick about lost revenue. You sound like a fricking dumbass.

I don't think whether or not Gainesville takes a direct hit is really the issue here. It's the overall mess this thing will create in the entire surrounding area.

That's a pretty short-sighted mindset to have when you have something of this magnitude lining up the entire eastern part of your state in it's crosshairs.

So the eye goes from tiny to massive the more it travels? Who knew?

Dude, the cone does not represent the eye at all


I hope you're not serious.

The cone represents the area of highest probability of where the eye will be. And yes, it does represent the possible locations of the eye. The edges of the cone are the borders of where the eye is likely to go. It does not represent the limit of where hurricane force winds, rain, etc. will be. The reason the cone gets bigger the farther out it goes is because the farther out we are forecasting, the less certain we are of where it will go, so there is a larger area where the eye has a good probability of going.

Yea all they care about is the game. They don't realize all the effort that goes into playing it, and how disruptive and potentially dangerous a hurricane would be for those efforts.

This guy don't know shite. He's just spewing ignorance from his keyboard.

No, the melt from LSU fans is glorious.

Your melt is due to PTSD from Katrina, even though the circumstances are completely different. Stop bitching about comments on a message board. You're being a pussy.

You're from fricking Atlanta and have been lecturing people from coastal areas on hurricanes for 2 days

You have any opinions on the fallout after earthquakes? Maybe stick to what you know, thunderstorms and tornados.

New Orleans and the whole state of Louisiana did not know how to handle a hurricane. Florida does.

The tornados in Tuscaloosa were a sudden and terrible disaster, but they hit directly on Tuscaloosa, not 100+ miles away.

The floods in South Carolina were again due to poor infrastructure and not knowing how to handle that kind of weather event.

Florida knows how to handle hurricanes people. It's not the first time a big storm is coming towards the state.


OK, you're just being an a-hole. frick you with your condescending Florida shite. I hope Florida public and emergency officials don't act with the same arrogance that you are displaying and that lots of innocent people in Florida don't have to pay a price for that arrogance.

You wouldn't know what it's like to go off to college, obviously.

It's nice to sleep in your own bed, shower in your own shower, and eat home cooked meals.

But keep being a prick. It's obviously all you know how to do. Bitch



When I was in college I went home as little as possible. Sounds like you're a titty baby with no friends

They say: It's not safe for fans and players!

Reality: When game time rolls around, there's a 20% chance of rain and the storm will be up in South Carolina



I have seen literally no one comment that the weather should be bad at gametime. That is not what anyone is worried about.

quote:

They say: Florida wants the game cancelled!

Reality: Florida doesn't want to play 3 straight years in Baton Rouge. Who would? And why would you cancel a game when there's a 20% chance of rain on Gameday?



It does not need to be in Baton Rouge. Find another site in Florida.

quote:

They say: The damage is going to be so bad after the game, power is going to be out, roads blocked, etc.

Reality: Gainesville is outside of the cone of the storm. They will certainly get bands of this and strong wind, but Gainesville is far enough away to not be at risk of major damage to campus.



You haven't been paying attention and the emergency personnel will still have to travel outside of Gainesville to help. Its what happens when Governors declare "State of Emergency".

quote:

LSU fans need to realize that Florida understands how to handle big storms. We get that Katrina was a horrible disaster, but Florida is prepared and understands how to handle storms like this.


We don't think you can't, as a state. And to reference Katrina like that insinuating that is our only storm is ludicrous. We are hurricane veterans as much as anyone.

quote:

In this day and age, there's no way that a University would allow a game to happen if there was a real threat to the immediate safety of the players and fans. When the 90,000 people are in the Swamp on Saturday, the fans and players are not going to be at any risk of being killed by a hurricane, because it's going to be well up the east coast into South Carolina.



Again, this is stupid. No one thinks there is danger at game time. The team and most fans travel the day before the game. Also, during the game the state infrastructure will be strained for disaster recovery and needed elsewhere, not at a football stadium and surrounding area with 150,000 people.

You're a putz. Why would the State of Florida divert the State Troopers and EMS necessary to staff a football game away from its citizens in a State of Emergency? We've moved games because of hurricanes. Deal with it.

Just move the game to the Bahamas. The hurricane will be long gone and everything should be working perfectly over there because the sun will be out.
