...according to channel 8 the power could be out in Baton Rouge for a week. They did not comment specifically on the game, however, if they don't have power how could they have a game at night. Perhaps they could move it to daytime?

No way they would have a game without power.... Problems with concession stands.. lights in Bathrooms etc. It is a dead issue unless they decided to move to Dallas.. Tx Stadium would be available and likely would likely attract a decent crowd.. if they can get out or think they have proacticed enough to make the game. If not... no game, I doubt they would make it up in December.

LSU would just move the game to Shreveport...too many Tiger fans in that state to even think about moving it to Texas.

If the game is postponed......the possible roadblock to playing it in December is the SEC Championship Game (which of course, LSU may or may not be in).

Any LSU fans know what weekend the SEC Championship Game is? It's got to be either the 3rd or the 10th of December.

LSu powerlines are all underground and LSU hardly ever looses power. As of yesterday afternoon, my brother called and said some of the power in BR was back on. And from a couple of other guys on the Tigerforums board they have power also.

Power isnt gonna be the issues, its gonna be the question of is it in good taste to have the game when they cant figure out why the lake is still flooding the city, even today.

KATT...when you refer to the city that is flooding, is it Baton Rougue or NO?

Also I have to figure that a ton of LSU's players are from areas that are really in a bad way, and likely want to go home to help out with the family.

Man that has to be tough...

Does anyone know if So Miss got hit hard?

What is Tulane going to do?

Adios.

Just cause LSU's power lines are underground doesn't mean there's power getting to said lines.

Per an article I read in the paper this morning and a similar article SUMG posted on the "happy" board, the lights were on at the stadium last night and the jumbotron scoreboard was flashing the time and temperature.

It looks like Baton Rouge survived relatively well in relation to other areas. I do wonder about all the players from the New Orleans area on their roster though. Their concerns must be with their families and not on the game. I pray that their families are safe and uninjured from this storm.

I also read that the Tulane team relocated to Jackson, MS. and that Southen Miss in Hattiesburg got hammered pretty bad.

I don't see what the big deal is about wheter or not the power will be up by Saturday in Baton Rougue.  Murfereesboro has never had electricty or running water yet we still play there every other year.

LOL!!!

      UNT Basketball Beats Oregon State, 58-55

      DENTON – Atin Wright hit a game-winning 3-pointer with seven seconds remaining as the UNT men’s basketball team defeated Oregon State 58-55 at the Super Pit on Monday night. Three North Texas (5-1) players finished with double-digit point totals as the Mean Green remained undefeated at home this season. Latrell Jossell finished with a season and game-high 15 points. Brenen Lorient scored a career-high 14 points, extending his streak of double-digit point games to three. UNT has now beaten two high-major teams this regular season — they defeated Minnesota 54-51 on Nov. 13. It’s the first time they’ve accomplished that since the 2010-11 season when they beat Texas Tech and LSU in the same year during the regular season. The Mean Green continued to be one of the most efficient defensive teams in the country, forcing 22 Beavers turnovers, UNT’s highest total since Nov. 26, 2020 when the Mean Green defeated Mississippi Valley State 116-62 at home. "Our ability to turn them over 22 times in a one-possession game was the separator," head coach Ross Hodge said. " That's a really good team that can really shoot. We talked about it in one of the [media timeouts] that we were going to really have to string together some of our best defensive possessions and I thought that group in the second half was really good." North Texas took a close 26-25 lead into the locker room at halftime. Oregon State (4-2) came out hot to begin the second half and held the lead until the 5:38 mark. 13 of the Beavers’ 22 turnovers came in the second half, ultimately leading to the Mean Green’s close victory. North Texas travels to Kissimmee, Fla. to take on Northern Iowa on Thursday at 7 p.m. CT for their first game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. For more information on UNT Basketball tickets, contact the Mean Green Ticket Office at 940-565-2527 or at ticketoffice@unt.edu. Fans can purchase tickets at www.meangreentickets.com or visit the UNT Athletics Ticket Office located at Gate 2 of DATCU Stadium between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

      The Band

      high school band director was a mistake. band has regressed. drumline is abysmal, no confidence, no arrogance, no true talent. last 2 years the drumline has been the worst since the 80s. need to drop that best damn band in the land and best drumline in college football....not even close to being true.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      We are starting to cut into the deficit created by the first game compared to last year. Now only down 8.72% in terms of average attendance. Last night was the highest game 4 attendance of the last four years, but to be honest, I was a little disappointed it was only 3,292 for a "name" opponent (yes, even during Thanksgiving week). November 25 was our earliest game 4, but a much stronger opponent. The previous 3 years it was 12/4 (LSU Shreveport), 12/3 (Omaha) and 12/2 (Miss Valley State) respectively. I mentioned this during the in-game thread, but the ESPN+ broadcast sounds like the commentators are off site in a soundproof room or something. Not hearing the crowd noise and the excitement in the arena really detracts from the game experience. Need a better audio production. I switched to the radio stream and it was much better from that perspective.

      Oregon State (11/25/24)

      Oh I agree with the philosophy in general, just not how it's being executed currently. baring quick foul trouble or a dumb mistake, I'd prefer to not make any changes until at least the first 4 min timeout. let your starters find some kind of rhythm in the game. I've noted numerous times already this season of a player knocking down a shot or two and/or making a few key plays and then getting sat...Jossell in the McNeese loss leaps to mind, I know its happened to Dello a few times as well. I'm gonna assume Hodge's rationale is that at least the first few subs are scripted and he's asking so much of his team on the defensive end that he wants to keep a sharper rotation, but it feels a little extreme to me right now and not always in tune with the flow of the game/a player's night we're not quite approach Benford-esque line-changes (though maybe only b/c Hodge doesn't have ten players he trusts), but it's bugging me just as much
