North Texas-LSU football game postponed

BATON ROUGE – LSU’s football game versus North Texas, originally scheduled for this Saturday night, will be rescheduled because of Hurricane Katrina and the need for the LSU campus to participate in the recovery efforts, LSU announced today.

“The scope of this tragedy is becoming more evident as time passes, and LSU’s focus is on assisting in the recovery effort of our state,” said LSU chancellor Sean O’Keefe. “LSU is a primary evacuation site and we are not going to conduct any activities that could deter from our mission of assisting in the recovery mission.”

“The events of yesterday and this morning have made it clear that this is not the time to play a football game,” said LSU athletics director Skip Bertman. “This is a dire situation that rivals any in the history of our state, and our priorities are on participating in recovery efforts.”

A number of locations on the LSU campus, and athletics facilities in particular, are being used in the recovery efforts for Hurricane Katrina. The Carl Maddox Field House is a Special Needs Shelter and the Pete Maravich Assembly Center has been designated as a triage unit for medical emergencies. The Bernie Moore Track will be utilized as a helicopter landing site for medical emergencies.

In addition, the traffic resulting from a football game could seriously impede the movement of emergency medical vehicles coming from the New Orleans area.

The rescheduled date will be determined by the two schools and an announcement is expected within the next 36 to 48 hours on the planned date.
