Safety concerns led LSU officials to postpone Saturday night’s scheduled game with Troy until November 15th, when both teams had open dates.

Tiger Stadium sustained quite a bit of damage from Hurricane Gustav.  The damage is broken down in this column.  (Thanks to The Baton Rouge Advocate for the photo at left… click the headline to enlarge it.)



Les Miles and his team want to play on Saturday night, but the coach can’t argue with LSU’s decision.  “It’s a great decision, a decision made for the benefit of all.  We need a game.  We’d love to play.  Again we understand we’re affected as well.  It’s the right decision.  Our attention is now on preparation for North Texas.”

With the game shifted, LSU will no longer have an open date prior to their final two regular season games (against Ole Miss and Arkansas… sorry, I meant Ar-Kansas).
