No. 3 LSU waits out Hurricane Isaac, hoping

Wednesday’s practice was cancelled, and Miles said he was hoping his players would be able to resume preparations for the Mean Green on Thursday, depending on the speed at which Isaac moves out of Baton Rouge and how much damage it leaves behind.

“We’re meeting in football and handling our business and reconciling the fact that we missed Wednesday’s practice and all the things that we needed to get covered on what was a Wednesday we need now to get covered on Thursday,” Miles said

Packing 75 mph winds, Isaac crept slowly across south Louisiana as a Category 1 hurricane on Wednesday, which happened to be the seventh anniversary of much more powerful Hurricane Katrina.

Katrina caused LSU to postpone a game with North Texas in 2005, Miles’ first season with the Tigers. The coach joked that the LSU athletic department would no longer schedule games against the Mean Green, then added, “I don’t think North Texas really had anything to do with it, but it is an unusual coincidence.”
