Look for an announcement today regarding our game with UTEP.
LSU's home game expected to be moved to Missouri.
Also, we should hear something regarding ULL's game with Coastal Carolina later today.
Skip was on the radio a few minutes ago. He said they're doing everything they can to not lose a home game. They're working with TV to determine what can be done.
I suspect UTEP will not get on a charter on Friday unless they are 100% certain the game will be played on Saturday night.
Could the game be moved to El Paso and then the Miners come to Ruston the next 2 seasons? It's possible.
Could the game be moved to Sunday and we lose ESPN2? That's possible, as well.
Looks like the storm would blow through Friday and things should be cleared up by Saturday evening. However, main issue could be UTEPs travel plans.
The issue is the westward change in the forecast track. Since the storm is predicted to be much larger by the time of landfall, Ruston could get much higher winds overnight into Saturday than had been forecast earlier.
And Lafayette is going to be hit hard Friday afternoon and evening if this updated track is correct.
The Lafayette vs Coastal Carolina game has been moved to Wednesday night In prime time on the mothership, ESPN.
Latest track this morning has landfall almost in the same spot where Laura came in. Not good news at all.
That track would put the center between Monroe and Vicksburg Saturday morning with winds at 50 mph.
